This is a 42 inch over-travel side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 225 lb per pair, with a hold-in anti-rebound detent and a zinc finish built for long indoor service. It is a purposefully utilitarian slide for shop benches, tool storage, server cabinets, and any heavy drawer installed beneath a counter overhang where that extra travel makes the back of the drawer reachable.
The over-travel action is the defining feature of this slide in a working environment. When a drawer sits beneath a worktop overhang, a standard full-extension slide still leaves the rearmost contents partially blocked by the counter edge. This slide carries the drawer past that point, so a mechanic, fabricator, or shop manager reaches the back without shifting position. The same advantage applies behind a deep face frame on a custom cabinet or a built-in workbench where the case extends well behind the front rail.
At 42 inches, this is a long slide intended for deep drawers: think lateral file-depth shop carts, full-depth base cabinets, server rack pull-outs, or equipment drawers in a commercial kitchen. The hold-in detent matters in these settings too — a loaded drawer at this length carries real momentum, and the detent stops it from drifting or rebounding once shut.
Steel members with a zinc electroplate finish give this slide its durability in indoor conditions. Zinc is the working standard for heavy side-mount ball bearing slides: it resists the humidity and contact wear of a busy shop without requiring the premium of a stainless alloy. The finish is functional, not decorative — this slide sits beside the drawer box and is not a visible hardware element once the drawer is closed. It is not rated for outdoor use, wet rooms, or washdown environments.
Cabinet shops building deep shop carts, custom workbenches, or commercial storage will get the most from this combination of length, load class, and over-travel. The 225 lb per pair rating handles a fully loaded mechanics drawer or a dense parts bin without strain. The non-handed format simplifies production runs — one SKU covers both sides of every drawer. This slide requires 3/4 inch of side clearance per side, which is wider than the 1/2 inch standard for lighter cabinet slides; size the drawer box accordingly. For face-frame installations, plan for rear mounting support at the cabinet back, as the slide's length makes unsupported rear ends a real concern.
The drawer member extends past the nominal 42 inch slide length — that is the over-travel feature. The exact distance beyond full extension is not stated in the available product data; contact the sales team for the specific over-travel measurement if the dimension is critical to your design.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer shut once closed. It does not slow or dampen the closing motion — the drawer closes at whatever speed you push it. Soft-close uses a damper to control the last inch of travel. This slide has a detent, not a damper.
The heavier-built profile of a 225 lb class slide takes more space than a standard cabinet slide. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to leave 3/4 inch clearance on each side.
No. The design is non-handed, so both slides in a pair are identical. Order two for each drawer.
It can, but a 42 inch slide in a face-frame cabinet needs rear mounting support. Standard side-mount rear brackets are series-specific; confirm the correct bracket for the Fulterer 5018 before ordering for face-frame work.
When the drawer is deep, the load is real, and the counter overhangs the opening, this slide solves all three problems at once — and the zinc finish means it will still be doing its job years from now.
