Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer

What is the best way to ship or transport a flat file cabinet?

Flat file cabinets require careful handling during transport due to their size and weight: (1) Remove all drawers before transport — drawers are heavy and can slide out if the cabinet tips. (2) Secure each drawer with tape across the front to prevent opening. (3) Use a heavy-duty appliance dolly or piano dolly rated for the cabinet's weight. (4) Secure the cabinet to the dolly with moving straps. (5) For commercial freight shipping, the manufacturer or freight company typically palletizes and crates flat file cabinets. (6) For local moves, a professional moving company with office furniture experience is recommended due to weight.
