The right storage can make all the difference in keeping your office organised and productive. At Direct Office Furniture, we know every workplace is unique, which is why we offer a wide range of mobile file cabinets and fixed file cabinets—all at factory-direct prices.

If you’re not sure which option suits your needs best, here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Mobile File Cabinets – Flexibility at Your Fingertips

Mobile file cabinets, also known as pedestals, are designed with castors so you can move them wherever they’re needed.

 Perfect For:

• Hot-desking or flexible office setups
• Small offices where space needs to be optimised
• Personal, lockable storage under the desk

Why Choose Mobile?

• Effortless to reposition during office reconfigurations
• Compact design that fits neatly under desks
• Lockable drawers for secure storage
• Available in stylish finishes to complement any workspace

Customer favourite: The Alpha Mobile Pedestal, built for durability and designed to move with you.

Fixed File Cabinets – Built for Strength & Capacity

If your business needs high-volume storage that won’t budge, fixed file cabinets are the answer.

Perfect For:

• Traditional office setups
• Storing large volumes of documents and records
• Long-term, secure filing solutions
  

Why Choose Fixed?

• Sturdy and stable – won’t move or tip
• Larger drawer capacity for heavy paperwork
• Vertical and lateral options available
• Robust construction with long warranties
  

Best seller: The ALPHA LATERAL FILING CABINET – 2 DRAWER, a 2 drawer lateral filing cabinet has the equivalent space of a four drawer unit. They are suspended on double extension runners which give smoother movement and allow the drawer to be pulled out further. Choose the colour combination you prefer from our range of melamine options. Manufactured in Australia using high quality components & fittings.
