Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
How should a flat-file cabinet be transported when moving offices?
Empty all drawers completely before transporting — loaded drawers add extreme weight and stress to the frame. Close and lock all drawers. Use a heavy-duty appliance dolly to tilt the cabinet and move it. Transport upright where possible; laying a flat-file cabinet on its back can misalign drawers and damage slides. For long-distance moves, wrap the exterior in moving blankets. OfficeFurniture2go.com provides guidance on cabinet transport — call 1-800-460-0858.
