How heavy does a fully loaded storage cabinet get?

A 36" wide × 18" deep × 72" tall steel storage cabinet weighs approximately 100–130 lbs empty. Fully loaded with paper (each ream weighs about 5 lbs; a full shelf of letter-size paper — 12 reams across a 36" shelf — weighs about 60 lbs), six shelves of paper can add 300–360 lbs. Total loaded weight: 400–500 lbs is not unusual for a fully stocked supply cabinet. This weight concentration is safe on standard commercial concrete floors (designed for 50–100 psf live load). Carpet and raised-floor environments should be evaluated for point loading. Anti-tip anchoring is critical for a loaded tall cabinet — the center of gravity is high and lateral force (earthquake, bumping) could tip an unanchored unit.
