How much does a commercial filing cabinet weigh?

A 2-drawer lateral filing cabinet (30" wide) typically weighs 70–100 lbs empty. A 4-drawer lateral weighs 130–200 lbs empty. Fully loaded with hanging files, add approximately 20–30 lbs per drawer — a fully loaded 4-drawer lateral can weigh 250–300 lbs. Plan for flooring load capacity in records rooms (records rooms may need 100–150 lbs/sq ft floor capacity vs. standard office floor rating of 50–80 lbs/sq ft).
