For Procurement Engineers
Working tools for procurement and SQE engineers: load-rating ladder for every slide section, RFQ checklist, quality documents we provide and a plain-English glossary of slide and Incoterm terminology.
This page collects the working data procurement and supplier-quality engineers ask for most. Everything here is also available as documents for your vendor file — request any of it via the RFQ form.
Load-rating ladder (per pair, at 18″ / 450 mm)
Pick the section by the weight the drawer must carry at full extension. All ratings are catalogue values from our current series.

|---|---|---|---|
| 27 mm | ZM-27 ball-bearing | 25 kg | Soft-close, push-to-open |
| 35 mm | ZM-35 ball-bearing | 35 kg | Soft-close |
| 45 mm | ZM-45 ball-bearing | 35–40 kg | Soft-close / self-lock / push-to-open |
| 51 mm | ZM-51 heavy-duty | 68 kg | Standard / heavy-duty configuration |
| 53 mm | ZM-53 heavy-duty | 115 kg | Standard / locking (L2) |
