Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What is the weight capacity of flat-file cabinet drawers?
Commercial flat-file cabinet drawers are rated for 50–100 lbs per drawer depending on the manufacturer and gauge of steel. Do not exceed the rated capacity — overloaded drawers bend the drawer bottom and damage the suspension mechanism. Drawings and prints are light but bulky; standard sets of construction drawings are not likely to exceed weight limits.
