Can I take advantage of tall office ceilings to get more filing capacity?

Standard filing cabinets max out at 5 drawers and roughly 60 inches tall — they don't stack or extend further without custom solutions. For high-ceiling environments, the better answer is high-density mobile shelving (also called compact shelving or carousels) that can reach 7–8 feet high and is accessed by rolling aisle mechanisms. These systems can hold 2–3 times the file volume of standard cabinets in the same floor footprint. Open-shelf filing units also go floor-to-ceiling and require step stools for top shelves. For most offices, high-density compact shelving is the most efficient use of vertical space in a dedicated filing room. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 to explore options.
