Mechanism for sliding storage


Under the mezzanine, I plan to have lots of storage hidden behind doors.  My idea is to have a large space with shelving where we can easily access things, plus simply push the lawnmower in.  I then would like pull out storage in the form of massive sliding drawers which will contain boxes stacked up.  This means that even the boxes at the rear can be easily accessed making it much easier to get hold of items.  My dream would be to have perfectly labelled boxes so I can find everything when needed rather than having to rummage through lots of different boxes!

I have found a really strong sliding drawer mechanism called the Titan D which can be supplied in a wide variety of lengths and can carry a substantial weight.  The ones I am looking at are 1200mm long and a pair of these can carry up to 95kg.  I plan to put a false front on the drawer, so when pushed back inside its housing, it will look like wall panelling and be virtually invisible.
