Source for drawer slides that extend past full extension?

Full extension drawer slides are everywhere, but I know I've seen extensions that extend out past the full length of the slide. Does anyone know a) what they're called and/or b) where to find them?

Thanks!

One inch or 1-1/2 over travel is quite common in drawer slides. Do you have an idea how much over travel you are looking for, I don't.

As stated, we dont know how much over travel you are looking for, but Rockler sells CenterLine drawer slides, the over travel ones extend an inch past full

Thanks for the replies. They're for drawers I'm going to be building into the base of my workbench, so I'm looking for over travel especially for the top couple of drawers to get them clear of the workbench top as much as possible when open. The length is short, maybe 12-16" slides, but I haven't fully laid out the cabinet yet.

I don't need massive weight ratings like the ones Loren posted, but I want something sturdy. They'll contain chisels, hand planes, layout tools, sharpening supplies, et cetera.
