What is a lateral file pedestal and how is it different from a regular pedestal?

A lateral file pedestal is an under-desk drawer unit configured specifically for hanging file storage — typically a combination of one box drawer and one full-extension file drawer that accommodates letter and legal folders, mounted on locking casters for mobility within the workstation. Unlike a lateral file cabinet, it's designed to sit within the workstation footprint rather than freestanding. Specifying the pedestal from the same product series as the workstation ensures finish compatibility and dimensional fit. For any environment requiring personal document security at the workstation level, locking drawer versions are the standard specification.
