Hettich KA4932 28" Side Mount Over-Travel 150 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc 10/Set, 9019703

28 Inch Over-Travel Drawer Slide for Deep Cabinets and Countertop Overhangs

The Hettich KA 4932 series 28 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide is built for deep-cabinet and worktop installations where a standard full-extension slide falls short. Its 1-1/2 inch over-travel carries the drawer past the cabinet face, clearing countertop overhangs and deep face frames so the back of the drawer is reachable without reaching around an edge.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch over-travel pushes the drawer beyond full extension, clearing worktop lips and deep frame profiles.
• 150 lb weight capacity per pair handles deep, heavily loaded drawers well above the standard 100 lb cabinet class.
• 28 inch slide length suits deeper drawer boxes found in tall base cabinets, server stations, and shop benches.
• Steel ball bearing construction delivers smooth, consistent telescopic travel under load across the full 28 inch stroke.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical — no left or right sorting needed on the bench.
• Zinc finish protects the steel members against everyday indoor corrosion.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

A 28 inch drawer in a deep base cabinet often sits under a countertop with a meaningful overhang. At full extension on a standard slide, the front of the drawer clears the cabinet face but the back half stays shadowed by the counter above. The KA 4932's 1-1/2 inch over-travel moves the entire drawer body forward of that overhang, so contents at the rear are in plain sight and within easy reach. The same advantage applies in face-frame cabinets with thick stiles: over-travel compensates for the depth the frame consumes, restoring the access a full-extension slide would promise on a frameless box. Server stations, prep-station drawers, and deep shop-bench drawers with tools in the back all benefit from this geometry.

Steel, Zinc, and Standard Motion

The KA 4932 is cold-formed steel with a zinc plated finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor cabinetry. Zinc is a functional, corrosion-resistant coating, not a decorative or stainless finish; it keeps the steel protected through years of interior service without adding visual weight beside the drawer box. Motion technology on this slide is standard: no soft-close damper, no self-close spring, and no hold-in detent. The drawer travels freely on its bearings and stays where it is left. That makes this slide a clean platform for shops that add their own closing hardware or that simply prefer unassisted travel on a utility or work drawer.

The Right Fit for This Slide

The KA 4932 in this 28 inch length is the right call when three things line up: the cabinet is deep enough to justify a 28 inch drawer box, the load demands more than the standard 100 lb class can reliably carry, and the installation includes a countertop overhang or deep face frame that would block rear access on a plain full-extension slide. Cabinet shops building tall base units, commercial kitchen fabricators laying out prep-station drawers, and shop-furniture builders fitting tool storage under worktops all work in this range regularly. Mount one slide per side on 1/2 inch of clearance per side, so the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting support is required at the back of the slide — add the appropriate rear mounting brackets, which are sold separately and must be matched to this series.

Deep Drawers Done Right

When the cabinet is deep and the overhang is real, a standard full-extension slide leaves work unfinished. The KA 4932's 28 inch length and 1-1/2 inch over-travel close that gap, delivering full access to the back of the drawer where it matters most.
