Applications
They may also save space, as they can be installed closer together than fixed shelves. Patents for roll-out shelves exist at least as early as the 1800s.
Roll-out shelves are found in kitchen and bathroom cabinets, pantries, chests of drawers, vanities, offices, and garages. They can be mounted with hardwood cleats, or with metal slides. 3/4 extension slides provide enough access to reach items in the back of the cabinet. Full extension rails are more costly but can provide better access for special use areas. Some roll-out shelves include shallow wire or mesh baskets.
