Lateral Filing FAQs
What is Lateral Filing?
Lateral filing is the smart way to reclaim up to 70% valuable floor space that is taken up by traditional filing drawer cabinets and thus allowing more than one person accessibility to their files. Lateral files suits A4 or foolscap paper, and are stored vertically on a shelf supported by shelf dividers or file racks and therefore files can be stored at higher levels utilising vertical space.
What Are the Advantages of Using Lateral Files?
Lateral Filing saves up to 40% of the floor space of traditional filing. That’s because files are stored laterally using vertical space, meaning you can store files at greater heights. Paired with our Avery FilePro software, you can set up a colour coding system which saves on filing time by 50%
How many files will fit on a shelf?
If a customer has existing drawer cabinets, the quickest rule of thumb is
- Two drawers = 1 x 1200mm shelf
- 1 ½ drawers = 1 x 900 shelf
