Ebco Heavy Duty Drawer Slide Channel

The Ebco Heavy Duty Drawer Slide Channel system is an industrial-grade architectural solution created for applications where standard residential runners (typically rated for 35 kg) fall short. Whether storing heavy cookware, pots, and commercial provisions in deep kitchen pull-outs, or housing heavy tools, server units, and filing drawers, these heavy-duty slides provide high lateral stability and smooth linear extension.
Unlike standard telescopic runners, Ebco's heavy-duty series features significantly thicker steel gauge walls and reinforced intermediate tracks. The multi-ball retainer assemblies distribute weight evenly across the entire length of the slide, keeping resistance low during manual opening and closing. They are designed for side-mounting, requiring precise side clearances to accommodate the heavy-gauge channel profile.

Warranty Coverage: Ebco offers a 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty against manufacturing defects, structural failures, or defective ball-bearing mechanisms under normal usage.
Exclusions: The warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation, overloading beyond rated capacity, improper side clearance, physical alteration, exposure to corrosive chemical cleaners, or general wear and tear.
Return & Replacement Policy:
Products can be returned or exchanged within 1 days of delivery if delivered damaged, defective, or in an incorrect size (subject to distributor/retailer terms).
Items returned must be unused, uninstalled, and packed in their original packaging complete with all mounting screws and instruction leaflets.

1. What is the difference between Ebco Sleek Telescopic Channels and Heavy Duty Channels?
Standard or Sleek Ebco telescopic channels are typically rated for 35 kg to 45 kg and are used in normal residential drawers. Heavy Duty channels (HD Series) feature thicker steel walls and reinforced ball tracks designed for dynamic loads between 60 kg and 125 kg.
2. Do heavy-duty channels require larger side gaps than standard 12.7 mm channels?
Yes. Depending on the exact HD model and load rating (e.g., HD90 or HD125), the side clearance requirement can be wider than the standard 12.7 mm (often ranging between 16 mm and 19 mm per side). Always verify the specific series installation guide before sizing your drawer box.
3. Are heavy-duty channels available with soft-close mechanisms?
Most extreme heavy-duty slides (90 kg to 125 kg) are standard manual/regular close, as high hydraulic resistance is required to cushion such heavy momentum safely. Soft-close features are more commonly integrated into slides rated up to 35 kg – 50 kg.
4. Can heavy-duty channels be floor/bottom mounted instead of side mounted?
No, these telescopic runners are specifically engineered for side-mounting. Bottom-mounting or flat-mounting significantly reduces the rated weight capacity (often by 50% or more) and causes excessive track deflection.
