Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer
Can flat file cabinets be made mobile with casters?
Yes — flat file cabinet base pedestals with casters make the cabinet mobile, allowing it to be rolled from one location to another. This is useful in studios or classrooms where the flat file may need to be relocated for different projects or room configurations. Mobile bases typically add 4"–6" to the overall height. Locking casters (which lock in position for stable use and unlock for rolling) are strongly recommended for heavy flat file cabinets — an unlocked caster on a loaded flat file cabinet is a safety hazard. For very heavy cabinets (10-drawer fully loaded), casters need to be rated for the total weight. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for mobile base options.
