1-1/2 Inch Over-Travel And 150 lb Capacity In One Side-Mount Slide

The Hettich KA 4932 is a 20 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide that carries the drawer 1-1/2 inches past full extension, rated 150 lb per pair. It is built for worktop drawers, shop benches, and any installation where a countertop overhang or deep face frame would otherwise block rear access.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch over-travel pushes the drawer past the cabinet face so contents at the back are reachable even under a countertop overhang.
• 150 lb weight capacity per pair handles heavy tool drawers, loaded utility drawers, and shop storage well beyond the standard 100 lb cabinet class.
• Full-length steel ball bearing raceways deliver smooth, consistent travel through the full extended range, including the over-travel portion.
• Non-handed design means both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left/right sorting at installation.
• Standard motion — no self-close, soft-close, or detent — the drawer stays exactly where it is left at any point in travel.
• Zinc finish on steel provides reliable indoor corrosion protection across years of daily use.

Where Over-Travel Makes the Difference

Standard full-extension slides bring the drawer to the cabinet face and stop. Under a countertop overhang, a thick face frame, or a lipped counter edge, that stopping point leaves the rear of the drawer inaccessible. The KA 4932's 1-1/2 inch over-travel carries the drawer member past that point, clearing the obstruction so the full drawer depth is usable. Workshop benches with top-rail overhangs, kitchen base cabinets with thick stone counters, and utility cabinets built into a deeper opening all benefit from this extra travel. The 150 lb capacity rating makes it a practical choice for those same environments, where drawers often carry tools, hardware, or bulk supplies that quickly exceed what a standard cabinet slide is rated for.

Construction and Finish

The KA 4932 is cold-formed steel throughout, with ball bearings running in full-length raceways on each member. The zinc electroplate finish is the working standard for indoor side-mount ball bearing slides: protective, unobtrusive, and consistent across the slide's operational life. This is not a decorative finish and should not be specified for wet or outdoor environments. The slide mounts with 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, in line with the segment standard, so drawer box sizing follows the same formula as any other side-mount ball bearing slide in this clearance class.

Who This Slide Is Built For

Cabinet shops building under-bench storage, contractors fitting kitchen base drawers beneath thick stone tops, and shop owners upgrading utility cabinets to a heavier duty class will find the KA 4932 a direct answer. The non-handed design simplifies high-volume installs — one SKU covers every drawer position without sorting. The standard-motion action suits work environments where a soft-close or detent would interfere with fast, deliberate use. If the installation is a residential kitchen drawer where quiet closing matters more than heavy capacity, this slide is more than the job calls for; consider a soft-close 100 lb slide instead.

The Right Reach for Heavy Work

When the drawer sits under an overhang and carries a real load, the KA 4932's combination of 1-1/2 inch over-travel and 150 lb capacity per pair closes the gap between where a standard slide stops and where the work actually is.
