What type of drawer suspension do fireproof cabinets use?

Fireproof filing cabinet drawers use heavy-duty drawer suspension systems capable of supporting significantly more weight than standard filing cabinet drawers. Most commercial fireproof cabinets use full-extension ball-bearing slides that allow the drawer to extend fully for complete access to files, rated for weights of 75–150 lbs per drawer. The suspension must also withstand the compression forces during a fire event when the insulating concrete or composite material absorbs extreme heat. Drawer slides on fireproof cabinets are typically steel rather than nylon or aluminum, due to the weight requirements.
