Roller Slides for Drawers & Furniture
Roller Slides for Drawers & Furniture
Roller slides are used for drawers and other pull-out constructions where a simple and reliable movement is required. The slides use rollers that run inside the slide profiles and are available in different lengths, designs and load capacities.
The range includes roller slides for furniture and storage as well as heavier-duty pull-outs. Depending on the model, different extension lengths, load capacities, materials and functions are available.
Our roller slides are always sold in pairs, with one left-hand and one right-hand slide for a complete drawer.
What is the difference between roller slides and telescopic slides?
The main difference is the construction. Roller slides use rollers running in the slide profiles, while telescopic slides consist of several slide profiles that move within each other.
Roller slides are often a simple and practical solution for furniture drawers and other pull-outs. Telescopic slides are commonly used where a longer extension, more controlled movement or higher load capacity is required. The right choice therefore depends on the load, required extension and construction.
Choose roller slides by load capacity
The load capacity should be selected according to the total weight of the drawer or pull-out, including its contents. Lighter furniture drawers will normally require less capacity than larger storage solutions or technical applications.
Always check the stated load capacity of the individual model and make sure that the drawer construction and fixing points are suitable for the intended load.
Partial extension and full extension
Roller slides are available with different extension lengths. With partial extension, part of the drawer remains inside the cabinet, while full extension provides better access to the complete drawer depth.
The most suitable option depends on the application. Partial extension may be sufficient for standard furniture drawers, while full extension is useful where easy access to the rear of the drawer is important.
Mounting and applications
Before ordering, check the slide length, installation dimensions, extension type, load capacity and mounting method. The product information for each roller slide contains the technical details required to select the correct model.
