What is the weight capacity of a lateral file cabinet drawer?

Commercial lateral drawers are typically rated 100–150 lbs each when extended. Never open more than one drawer at a time — a 4-drawer cabinet loaded at 400 lbs total is a serious tip hazard if two drawers are open. Full-suspension ball-bearing slides are required for heavy filing. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify drawer weight ratings on all file cabinets — call 1-800-460-0858.
