Vendor of overtravel slides

[Steve Soldo]

Hi everyone.

Have to place a drawer under a countertop.  To get access to the contents of the drawer, it has to extend significantly outside of the carcass of the box, ideally 200%.

I have searched online and cannot find a vendor that sells such a product.  I did find as European company, Chambrelan, but they do not have a distributor in North America.   

Any vendor that you folks know of?  I may end up jimmying two slides together, but I would rather not.

I'm thinking maybe a small dining table extension slide, for an insert.
No vendors in mind at the moment.

The greatest over extension I'm familiar with is 1.5".  That normally is enough to get complete access to a drawer mounted up under a typical countertop.  If you need more than that I think you're going to have to get creative.  One idea that comes to mind is making the drawer with essentially two sides and two pairs of slides.  Mount the "false" sides to the outside set of slides and the drawer itself to the false side with another set.  Or maybe just rivet two slides together to double the travel.

What exactly are you doing along with the drawer size and how much weight it will hold.  A full extension slide will put the outside of the drawer back even with the face of the carcuss, how much more do you need ?     Roly

I was thinking full extension side mount for a drawer inside a 1" larger drawer without a front using bottom mount slides. Vice-versa would work too, but any way you do it, you're going to chew up some drawer space.

Access to some utensils underneath a kitchen counter.   The counter overhangs the carcass about 8 inches.

there are rack mount slides that over-travel. Lee Valley has this: http://www.leevalley.com/us/hardware/pag...at=53&ap=1

I also think I have seen over-travel drawer slides, but I don't know where.

It appears that all the big names of drawer slides have over extension slides. But they only go out 1" or 1 1/2" from what I have seen. 8" is a big ask

Item #: 29488 extends to 50" max. I don't see what the closed length of the slides are.

They're 20" closed. You'll lose 2-3/8" of drawer height or 10" of width.
