<strong>Lateral</strong> File Planning Overview<br />

<strong>Calibre</strong> <strong>Lateral</strong> Filing Volume and Weights<br />

<strong>Calibre</strong><br />

Filing Planning<br />

<strong>Calibre</strong> pre-configured files include 1.5,3,6, 7.5, 10.5,12, 13.5 and<br />

15 drawer and door modules. The 12, 13.5 and 15 drawers are designed to<br />

handle all standard paper sizes including:<br />

Letter (8 1 /2 X11)<br />

Legal (8 1 /2 X14)<br />

A4 Foolscap (9 1 /5 X14 1 /3)<br />

JIS (9 1 /5 X12 1 /4)<br />

EDP (8 1 /2 X15)<br />

The 10.5 drawer module is designed to handle:<br />

Letter (8 1 /2 X11)<br />

Legal (8 1 /2 X14)<br />

Note: Only 12, 13.5 and 15 modules are available as receding doors with<br />

either fixed or pull-out shelves.<br />

Filing Volume and Weights<br />

The paper size or media to be stored will determine the best width of file to<br />

specify. In applications requiring high-density letter-sized documents filed<br />

front-to–back, the most efficient file widths are 30 and 42. <strong>Files</strong> that are<br />

36 wide work efficiently to store legal-sized documents in front to back<br />

configurations and do not efficiently handle letter-sized documents.<br />

Finding the Optimum Storage Configuration:<br />

30 width (Front-to-Back) = Letter 32 Filing Inches<br />

30 width (Side-to-Side) = Legal 26 3 /4 Filing Inches<br />

36 width (Front-to-Back) = Letter 32 Filing Inches<br />

36 widths (Side-to-Side) = Legal 32 3 /4 Filing Inches<br />

42 widths (Front-to-Back) = Letter 48 Filing Inches<br />

42 widths (Side-to-Side) = Legal 38 3 /4 Filing Inches<br />

Example: If 12’ of open wall space were available for 51 high files with<br />

4-12 drawers, two options would be possible:<br />

Option A: Four 36 wide files<br />

Option B: Two 42 and two 30 wide files<br />

If the usage was for letter-sized documents filed front-to-back, option A<br />

would provide 504 total filing inches, while option B would allow 628 total<br />

filing inches in the same square footage. Please note that all 12 drawers have<br />

a 150lb. maximum load-limit. All other drawers support up to .017 pounds<br />

per cubic inch of volume.<br />
