Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What's the safe way to move a flat-file cabinet?
Empty every drawer before moving — full drawers shift the center of gravity dangerously and multiply the effective weight. Remove drawers individually if possible to lighten the carcass. Use a furniture dolly or flat cart for lateral movement, and tilt the cabinet slightly toward the back wall to prevent drawers from swinging open mid-move. Any cabinet larger than a 2-drawer 30" wide unit needs at least two people. FindOfficeFurniture.com coordinates delivery and installation for all flat-file orders — call 888-719-4960.
