Much like the larger suspension files lateral files are basically the same product but rather than being designed for filing cabinets they are intended for storage in cupboard type storage solutions and tambour units. Lateral files are indexed from the side and not the top like suspension files. Lateral files are better suited to offices that tend to have more to file away than those with filing cabinets and suspension files as they do not need to be opened as wide as suspension files when accessing the stored contents and documents. Lateral files also differ in that they are not pulled out from the tambour unit like a suspension file because the indexes can be easy seen from the side giving the office worker the facility to view the indexed lateral files without pulling out any drawers.

Lateral files all come with index tabs and write on inserts to assist in labeling your office filing. Recycled lateral files different colour options can all be found here in the lateral files category.
