What is a rolling base for a flat-file cabinet and when should I use it?

A rolling base is a wheeled platform on which a flat-file cabinet sits, typically 4"–8" tall and fitted with lockable casters. It allows the cabinet to be repositioned around a studio or workroom and brings the lowest drawer to a more accessible height. The casters should be locked whenever the cabinet is in use and unlocked only for repositioning. Rolling bases are popular in design studios, print shops, and construction site offices.
