A slide that’s under-rated for the load can lead to binding, premature wear, or failure — especially in industrial or commercial equipment.

How to Select the Correct Slide
Calculate full load.
Include the weight of the drawer, contents, and any installed equipment.
Consider drawer width.
Wider drawers add lateral stress, sometimes requiring a higher load rating.
Match the travel type.
Full extension, over-travel, or lock-in/lock-out configurations may influence the load rating you need.
Choose the appropriate finish.
Zinc, stainless steel, or corrosion-resistant options may be required depending on the environment.
