How much does a commercial lateral file cabinet weigh?

Weight is a critical specification variable for lateral file cabinet installation planning — it affects floor load considerations, moving requirements, and elevator capacity for multi-story buildings. OfficeFurniture2go.com provides specific weight documentation for every filing product we specify. General ranges: 2-drawer lateral, 90–130 pounds empty; 3-drawer, 120–175 pounds; 4-drawer, 170–220 pounds; 5-drawer, 200–280 pounds. Fully loaded with paper, add 15–25 pounds per drawer. For large multi-cabinet installations in elevated floor environments, we recommend floor load verification with the building's structural engineer.
