Slide rails are classified into light-, medium-, and heavy-duty rails, depending on the drawer loads in different appliances.

Slide rails are majorly manufactured using aluminum or steel, with outer coating of zinc or electroplating with other metals to prevent corrosion caused due to constant temperature change, moisture, and other external conditions. Currently, different types of slide rails are utilized for a single appliance depending on the application. For instance, a single refrigerator may utilize light- to medium-duty slide rails for shelves, trays, baskets, and drawers, whereas heavy-duty slide rails for bottom-mount freezer drawers or under-counter refrigerated drawers. Furthermore, slide rails majorly utilize ball bearing sliding movement, which is lubricated using food-grade grease to prevent contamination of the food stored inside the oven or the refrigerator.
