We’re preparing to move to a new office, and I want to confirm in advance whether we’ll need help – how heavy are filing cabinets usually? Does anyone have any experience with moving them that they can share?
The weight of filing cabinets varies mainly depending on the material, size, and whether they are full of files. General estimates are as follows:
Laminate drawer cabinet: approximately 40–50 pounds
Standard four-drawer vertical filing cabinet: approximately 60–80 pounds
Standard office desk cabinet: approximately 100 pounds
Lateral filing cabinet: approximately 80–400 pounds
Standard metal vertical filing cabinet (empty): approximately 50–150 pounds
Heavy-duty or lateral filing cabinet: 200 pounds or more
Fireproof filing cabinet: typically 400–1000 pounds or more
Tips: The weight increases significantly when the cabinets are full of files, typically adding 20–30 pounds or more per drawer.
