Heavy duty drawer slides?

I am thinking of putting my new sump on a platform/tray with undermount slides to allow it to be slid forward forward for easier access. I remember seeing just the set some years ago at a welding shop. They had the welder and other equipment on slideouts. Aluminum for corrosion resistance would probably be a good idea.

Any ideas on local vendors for corrosion resistant 500lb (ideally with vibration dampening) drawer/shelf slides?

I might have some laying around. What length ? I even have a attenuator if you want to get fancy.

Mike, check my old tank thread. I show plans for my pullout drawer slides. I bought full extension slides and since they will not see more than 100 cycles in its lifetime, the ones I got should hold 500 lbs without problem.

I'd be so into this if my new stand had a remove able center brace...pulling my whole sump/frag tank out would be awesome!
