I bought this rolling box on CL for $100

I've never seen a locking 3 digit code roller before

All drawers are ball bearing and the casters are 6"x2" and a greaseable

For $100....its a good find!!!

Anyways, the bottom deep drawer needs a new ball bearing slide on the right side

The slide bracket is marked Accuride

No one, and I mean no one makes a replacement slide for this box

I found slides at Lowe's for $25, which have a 100 pound per slide capacity

I used three rivets per slide, when attaching it to the inside of the box

I was only able to use two rivets per slide, when attaching the actual drawer

I greased the bone dry castors at the fittings and am amazed how smooth this box rolls

Bad slide:

Good slide:

 

I would think 2 should be fine. You could always use steel rivets if they loosen up. no like you're jumping up and down on the drawers.

I agree that's a good deal, nice find.


Google says between 500-700 lbs shear strength.

 

A 3/16" steel rivot is the make for the smaller home depot rivot guns. Wear eye protection and keep your fingers clear of the handles when the rivot pops it shoots the stem typically.

 

The answer depends on a LOT of factors, including: materials (steel or Aluminum rivets; alloy; temper; nail?); rivet wall thickness/nail diameter; whether the nail stays inside the rivet; mounting surface wall thicknesses & materials; and presence of a reinforcement washer.

Normal ole aluminum nails still inside

Should I put some glue on the end to make sure the nail doesn't come out?

The tool chest was obviously steel, and made well since its a tad older

I'll keep an eye on it and see if it loosens up at all

 

The box is about 33-1/2" wide, 18" deep and about 42-1/2" tall

The large greaseable castors are great

I found a manual online, which is for a similar box......I wish I could find a part or model number for the box, no luck

Here is the finished box, with the slides I used

 

 

Why don't you separate the slides, add rivets, and add another pair of slides for the big drawer? It's already made for 2 slides per side.

Two slides per side is an option, if need be

The factory setup only had one per side

 

You can buy accuride slides but I am assuming you are saying they do not make one with the mounting tabs yours has. ?

I had a accuride slide on my snap on box pull apart like yours. I was able to put it back together and it works fine. It takes some fiddling with and some tweeting of the retention tabs but you should be able to put it back together.

Plan A, put slide back together
Plan B, buy same size generic Accuride slide and scavenge parts need off it to rebuild yours
Plan C, rivet replacement slide on.

 

For which of your boxes?

I'll send you a pair of replacement slides under warranty.

Maybe this time I'll put some glitter inside!

As for the OP's conundrum, those are standard Snap-On toolbox slides. We use Accuride on some of our boxes.

 

Here, allow me to point you to this sector of the Internet :smokin:

https://www.accuride.com/en-us/products/3820-pocket-bayonet-ie

 

Look for something resembling a part number on the slide. Me thinks it's a 3820-18

Shouldn't be to hard to find a pair. Search by distributor from that link above.

 

Oh, almost forgot.
3/16 aluminum blind rivet = 310 lbs shear
3/16 steel =540

Accuride doesn't sell a direct slide replacement

Waterloo doesn't either

 

I contacted every slide manufacturer with the accuride slide part number I wanted.....trust me, I tried

This is a discontinued slide and no one sells or makes it

These slides work, hopefully they hold up

I think the 5 total rivets will hold just fine

 

What is the accuride part number ?

 

From Waterloo:

The accuride slides are no longer available and there is no substitutes for them. Thanks and have a great day.

From Accuride:

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Accuride technical support.

The slides in the tool box are custom made, you can tell because of the mounting tabs, to get an exact slide replacement you will have to contact
tool box manufacture.

The only thing I could find on the slides is "N 6" and "Accuride"

The slide is also pop riveted on with a rear tab

 

So this may be off topic but what is the weight a pop five can carry

I have a1/4 sheet of steel being held against my food trailer wall and I want to mount two 100 lb propane cylinders to that sheet...I have about fifteen to twenty rivets holding that plate on, will the rivets hold in place with the weight of the cylinders and LP??

No. Either run a bolt through the whole wall, or use a bracket to the tongue.
Are you looking at mounting it on the tongue? 6' of angle iron, a dozen nuts and 6' of 3/8" rerod could make a bracket that wont move?

I was looking at the rear of the food trailer ...not on the tongue ..

This was my thoughts

What if I put bolts on corners reason is the center supports are not as beefy as the corners

So you want to put it in the back so when someone rear ends your trailer it burns up? I would still connect it to the frame and run bolts through the body (with a big spreader plate on the inside).

After your comment and consideration to the safety of it ...I think I will leave them on the tongue where it seems to be safe
