Making the right use of space in your house or flat is extremely important. Unfortunately, some spaces are unusual and tricky to organise. Particularly when it comes to the area under the stairs – deep, hard-to-reach spots can often turn into a chore and a dust trap. If you are reading this, rest assured – we have a solution for you!

The most common uses of H53mm heavy-duty extension runners:

• Space under the stairs
• Toolboxes – metal boxes
• Deep storage
• Drawers carrying heavy equipment

Why are heavy-duty runners called "heavy duty"?

Normally, the load capacity of drawer runners ranges between 12kg and 45kg. This is standard hardware for wardrobe drawers, shelving, kitchen cabinets, and so on.

H53mm drawer runners are not standard drawer fittings – their maximum load capacity is 136kg. This means roughly 3 times more than typical runners you can buy.

This enormous load capacity is made possible by 3 key features:

• Steel thickness – 2.0/2.0/2.0mm – instead of 1.0/1.0/0.8
• Runner thickness itself – 19mm – instead of 12.5mm for H45mm runners
• Ball bearings along the entire length of the middle runners

A huge additional advantage is that these runners can be dismantled easily – you do not have to remove the entire drawer.

What lengths are H53mm heavy-duty drawer runners available in?

A major benefit of these runners is that they are available in practically any length, allowing you to access deep spaces from 400mm up to 1200mm.

The most sought-after extension runners for under-stairs drawer units are: 700mm, 750mm, 800mm, 850mm, 900mm, 950mm, and 1000mm. Depending on the width of the stairs, these lengths allow us to utilise every centimetre of space ergonomically. Furthermore, we get full access to the contents of the drawer, as H53mm drawer runners feature full extension.
