Side Filers, Side Filing Cabinets
Side filing cabinets (otherwise known as “side filers” ) are an alternative to standard filing cabinets. They are wider than they are deep and ideal when floor space is limited. They are called “side filing cabinets” because their dimensions are suited to storing foolscap suspension files sideways. But side filers can also accommodate two rows of A4 files front to back. Because drawers extend no more than 440mm outwards, such cabinets are suited to narrow rooms and corridors.
