How does a base pedestal for a flat file cabinet work?

A flat file cabinet base pedestal (sometimes called a base or mobile base) lifts the cabinet off the floor by 4"–8", bringing the bottom drawer to a more comfortable working height. Without a base, the bottom drawer of a flat file cabinet sits very close to the floor, requiring significant bending to access. A base also often includes casters for mobility — allowing the cabinet to be rolled during cleaning or to a different location. Some bases include a locking mechanism to prevent rolling during use. For accessibility compliance (ADA) in public spaces, a base that raises the bottom drawer to a more accessible height is important.
