Heavy-Duty Drawer Slides

Heavy-duty drawer slides are for drawers that carry more than a standard 100 lb slide is rated for: file and lateral drawers, tool and workshop drawers, pantry pull-outs and wide, heavily loaded kitchen drawers. Every slide here is rated 150 lb or more, up to 600 lb.

Side-mount heavy-duty slides

  • Knape & Vogt 8810: ball-bearing slide with lever disconnect, rated 200 lb; needs 3/4" side clearance.
  • Fulterer 450 lb slide: full extension with lock-in and lock-out, so the drawer stays put when closed or fully open.
  • Sugatsune stainless steel heavy-duty slides, rated 200 lb and 600 lb, plus the Sugatsune SUS three-member slide (255 lb) and a 3/4-extension stainless slide (251 lb).
  • Knape & Vogt 28" full-extension heavy-duty slide (350 lb), 53 mm heavy-duty slide (200 lb) and a 150 lb file and lateral-drawer slide with 1-1/2" over-travel.

Heavy-duty undermount runners

The Blum MOVENTO 769 is a concealed, full-extension undermount runner rated 170 lb with BLUMOTION soft close, for 1/2" to 5/8" drawer sides.

How to choose

  • Pick a rating above the load you expect. Knape & Vogt notes that load ratings vary with slide length, application and cabinet construction.
  • Check side clearance: heavy-duty side-mount slides often need more than the usual 1/2" per side.
  • For drawers wider than 24", use slides designed for that width.
  • Over-travel slides extend past full extension, so you can reach files at the very back of a drawer.
