Try "hollow wall anchors". I've used a load recently and they solve a lot of the usual problems. On the other hand a cabinet doesn't stress the plasterboard fixing as much as some applications because the weight is distributed along the wall as well as hanging off the fixing, there's also less movement than some applications. The gripit fixings are ok but they were specifically designed for radiators which require slightly different weight bearing characteristics.
You could also consider fixing the cabinets together to further spread the load.

Hey DIYers, I need some advice on fitting kitchen wall units on a stud wall.
Most of the cabinets I can attach to the studs but there's a little 300mm wide unit that ends up between studs so I can only fit to the plasterboard. It will also be fitted to the units on either side.
I'm just wondering what the best plasterboard fixings to use are?
I'm thinking something like this, but is there something better?
