Types of roll file storage

Rolled project files have caster wheels that allow users to push the cart around with ease. There are several types used to carry rolled projects or other types of files. Carts with metal squares hold rolled blueprints and posters so they stand up straight. File carts hold folders so they dangle from the end tabs and can be opened and closed while on the cart. File cabinets have doors that protect the objects inside from the elements and can often be locked to protect from theft. Mail carts have several sized bins to hold different envelopes. Consider using book carts to carry and display books with the spines easy to read. Multi-purpose utility carts have drawers, shelves, and baskets in one.

File storage utility carts are made from different types of materials. Wire carts usually have thick wire with large holes to hold rolled papers, books, and files and keep them upright. Mesh carts have tiny holes so smaller objects won't fall through. These often contain several small baskets on a single cart. Corrugated roll files are made from cardboard that is thick and sturdy, but also lightweight, so the cart is easy to push around. Wood rolling files have an elegant look that will wow potential clients when they visit the office.
