How much does a typical fireproof filing cabinet weigh per shelf or per drawer?

The insulating material in fireproof cabinets is dense and heavy. A single drawer from a 4-drawer letter-size fireproof cabinet typically weighs 30–60 lbs empty. Full cabinets can weigh 200–500 lbs empty depending on rating and size. The insulating layer itself accounts for 30–50% of total cabinet weight. This weight is also why fireproof cabinets require heavy-duty floor loading consideration and freight delivery.
