ahh, that's what the pros use, skateboard bearings? Very good info indeed. I'm going to convert my slides to these bearings for a long lasting solution.
Thanks it's hard to explain black widows setup but they are the best drawers down under for a reason, they don't have to be skateboard bearings but they are a common mass produced bearing designed to withstand shock loads. This is what I built on Saturday
You could do this with a small v pulley but would be pretty pricey. The black widow design does away with this buy having bearings at the base of the frame that roll along the bottom edge of the draw to centre the draw so it can't run from side to side. Next time I'm up in Darwin I will take some pics

What a timely thread! I am using the 36" Lee Valley slides on my fridge slide and after 2 days of rough roads in Colorado they had inverted themselves and the fridge was on the other side of the trailer! There is currently no hard stop at the back of the fridge in my setup.
I think I will be going the skateboard bearing route myself which should be a lot more robust and allow me some other liberties with the design.
