Are lateral-file mobile pedestals available, and how are they different?

Lateral-file mobile pedestals are wider than standard vertical-file units — typically 30"–36" wide — with file drawers where folders hang side-to-side (the long dimension of the folder runs front to back, parallel to the user). They are less common than vertical-file pedestals because the wider footprint does not fit under most standard desks. They are more often used as freestanding under-counter units or as part of credenza systems. Lateral pedestals hold more files per drawer than vertical units and allow both letter and legal files to hang in the same drawer without modification.
