How do I relocate storage cabinets during an office move?

For an office relocation, storage cabinets should be: (1) Emptied completely before moving — a fully loaded 72" steel cabinet weighs 200–400 lbs and cannot be safely moved on casters or by hand truck; (2) Drawers and doors secured open or removed if they risk swinging during transport; (3) Protected with moving blankets on corners and surfaces (especially laminate); (4) Moved on a flat-bed dolly or hand truck on padded wheels; (5) Numbering with destination location tags before the move so placement at the new office is efficient. Tall cabinets should not be moved on their side — they can warp or deform the shell. OfficeFurniture2go.com can advise on relocation considerations for specific cabinet models — call 1-800-460-0858.
