Great long travel drawer slides at a fraction of the price IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY!
Used these for a truck bed drawer system (see pictures). The slides were for the most part easy to install. Obviously having some sort of drawer slide jig and/or a friend with really steady hands would make things even easier but nevertheless the install was relatively painless. I'll try to make this an easy for those considering these for purchase.PROS:- literally FRACTION of a price of heavy duty drawer slides of the same length. If you look around Amazon legit HEAVY DUTY/COMMERCIAL drawer slides of this length run in the hundreds...With that said you need to be very honest and conscientious of what your intended use for these slides are going to be. I use my drawers to store tools, clothes, equipment, etc.. I have ZERO intent of even coming close to approaching the 400 lbs let alone 200 lbs worth of gear to be honest. If you need HEAVY DUTY slides for a project/commercial use then your going to have to pony up the money otherwise you're wasting your time with these honestly...They are NOT meant for purpose.- Smooth gliding action that can be opened/closed with one hand (if you installed them properly!)- Quiet operation- Easy to mountCONS- I pretty much touched on the major con already. These are NOT heavy duty commercial slides. I don't care what the seller advertises, they simply aren't and as long as you know/understand this going in you won't be disappointed. If you buy these anyways thinking they can handle a few hundred pounds of gear/storage/etc. without any issues you will be disappointed as some reviewers seem to be.- Only time will tell as far as the durability of these slides but its been a couple months now with no issues.Hopefully this helps those considering these.

WON’T SUPPORT HEAVY LOAD!
Complete and total lie these can support 400 pounds! They’ll barely support 60 pounds!I specifically bought these because of the load rating.I built a sliding tray for my bikes to fit in my van. I fabricated metal brackets for the slides to attach to and drilled in to the floor for installation. The slides sagged significantly under 60 pounds of weight and did not slide smoothly. After a few months of light use, the plastic in the slides broke and the bearings fell out. Rendering it garbage.Now I’m out the 80$ For the slides and had to refabricate a new tray system sense I built the previous tray around the tracks. It totally screwed me over!Amazon should do something about the false advertisement of these slides. NOT HAPPY!!

Disappointed - Load Rating Inaccurate
I recently purchased a set of these 36" full extension, 400lbs drawer slides. I was using them side mounted on a typical drawer setup in which said drawer setup would be holding climbing gear in a storage cabinet. It was imperative that these slides be able to hold the "ADVERTISED" amount of 400lbs since the drawer would be holding around 175 to 200lbs of gear.This was not the case though, these drawer slides bent upon putting around 60lbs of gear in the drawer at 3/4 full extension. Very disappointed in the load capacity of these slides and would not recommend them to anyone looking to use them for there rated load capacity.The only pro to these slides was that they were very quiet and smooth slides.

So I test these Drawer Slides to see if they really can carry 400-lbs weight
The media could not be loaded. So I test these Drawer Slides to see if they really can carry 400-lbs weight. having read some feedback from some customers I decided to test out their weight capacity. I needed to build this 50" slide out of the Go-kart from the trailer anyway so it really was not much extra work to add some weights and test the capacity. I was very surprised with the results. They could carry more than that However I ran into a problem which also solved the issue on why other people had problems, and it turns out its not the drawer slides with the issue its what you screw the Drawer slides into. So I used wood 2x4's to be exact but at 400lbs I noticed the wood was deforming and causing issues with opening and closing the drawer slides. So I would recommend if you are going to need 400lbs of weight then you are better off screwing them into something harder that doesn't deform as easy as a 2x4. Metal or aluminum would be better. Or I noticed that Firgelli also sell an even heavier duty but more expensive Drawer slides that can carry 500lbs weight, so I would recommend those and not push them to their limits.

Not as strong as advertised but still decent
Used the 40 inch ones for my sliding drawers for my camper van. Working so far, but pretty wobbly, and wondering if it will hold when I have 2 large bins full of gear. Definitely not designed for 400lb. I'd guess they'd be good for closer to 100-150lbs. If you're looking for something heavier duty, I'd check out trailerparksdirect. I haven't ordered from them yet, but will if these sliders fail.Also wish they locked when they're not extended. Had to find a workaround and still not an ideal solution.Overall they're pretty decent for the price but I think the sliders from trailerparksdirect are likely a better deal for not much more. But like I said, I haven't tried theirs myself.

A great value, but...
The media could not be loaded. As the pictures show, this is not your typical drawer slides installation. When installing the 36" full extension slides, it is apparent that they are very well made, but clearly would not support a full 400 lbs. I would rate them for 80 to 100 pounds. If you have ever installed drawer slides before these are straight forward and follow the standard install procedure. Initially they are stiff and don't readily extend it retract. I overcame this by cleaning them with alcohol. Having shopped around quite a bit before buying these, I can tell you that long slides are expensive. I was worried that these were so much cheaper, and the bad reviews made me even more hesitant before buying. These slides were the best value for my particular project, but may not be suitable for heavier loads ( above 100 pounds). I would definitely recommend these to any one needing a long slide, that can handle a medium load

Sturdy
Not the easiest thing to install but I was happy with it once installed.

Weight overrated
Installed those in a van for a pull out kitchen. They bent right away under 120 pound weight barring. They eventually broke after a few months.
