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.
