<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 />
