City of Denton chooses Ulrich Blueprint Storage Cabinets.

City of Denton is a large and growing city they prefer Ulrich Planfiles for their blueprint storage cabinets

The City of Denton is beautiful and prosperous. And located just north of Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas. Notably, with a population of over 113 thousand, they are in the top 25 fastest growing cities in the US for their size.

Ron Forsythe is the very busy Engineering Manager in charge of plans for the city’s buildings and roads.

“Do to centralizing of our offices we have at least one of every filing system on the market; we have Flatfile Cabinets, Masterfile- Pinfile type cabinets and of course the Ulrich Planfiles. Of all of these the Ulrich Planfile is by far the easiest to use.

Besides being easy to use it keeps the plans in great shape I have used the Ulrich Planfiles for years and when we need additional map or plan storage we call Ulrich. We appreciate their friendly and efficient customer service,” says Ron.

“Ulrich cabinets keep our documents in great condition and are built to last; I recommend them to my colleagues.”

 

Features that make the Planfile blueprint storage cabinets easy to use.

Moreover, the fact that the Planfile cabinet is easy to use is the best feature for the City of Denton. For one thing, you can performs all filing at waist height, unlike flat file cabinets. Certainly, the Planfile’s 60 “tuff-one” folders organize and protect these important documents.

Notably the best feature of the Planfile blueprint storage cabinets is the spring compression system. Because of this unique system, the documents are easily retrieved without having to remove the folder from the cabinet. Equally it is just as easy to refile the documents. See how the cabinet works in the video below.

Asheville Government Office

Map Storage for Asheville NC

The large number of property and tax maps belonging to the government office in Asheville, NC demanded a sophisticated method for filing and organizing. The county office now utilizes a number of Ulrich Pinfiles, which effectively and efficiently manage the maps and their frequent usage.

The maps at this office are used by the general public, contractors and government workers; therefore, the filing system needed to be easy to use. With so many potential users, the ergonomics were an important consideration, as was the ability to access each individual map quickly. Space was limited and the county office hoped to find a system with the capacity to file all the maps in one room—- with space remaining for the large format copy machines and plotters.

Flat files were deemed too difficult for the users because the individual maps would be stacked in drawers containing close to 100 maps per drawer. Replacing a map pulled from the bottom of a drawer would be almost impossible. Furthermore, flat files would have cost more and there was simply not enough room to house this inefficient model. The county office chose the Ulrich Pinfile for the great benefits it affords.

  • Ease of use and ergonomics with all filing done at a comfortable height.
  • Great individual map access. Users only handle the map they want.
  • Space saving vertical design and attractive, modern styling for the office.
  • The highest quality construction with beautiful finish and durability.

And they choose Hancock Mississippi as the site for rocket testing.  Making Stennis Space Center in Hancock, the heart of the space program. Of course it began with the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program and continues today.
 
Since 1965,  NASA’s choice for plan storage cabinets have been Ulrich Planfiles. To begin with, these cabinets are fire resistant and water resistant. As a result, they provide much needed protection to these important engineering drawing. In addition, a key lock and internal hing keep the engineering drawings secure. Not to mention, the 60 “Tuff-one” folders provide great document protection. Finally, spring compression system and folders protected and organized the engineering drawings.
 
Jeanne Keller, Document Coordinator for the Central Engineering Files, says the following:
 
“Thank You for your help. CEF (Central Engineering Files) has had 8 of these plan files since 1965 and we now have 33 files in all. They are still in good working order. You have a great Product and when I need more files I will be sure to order from Ulrich.”

The Town of Busti

Town Clerk filing
Town Clerk, Diane VanDewark, appreciates how much easier the Ulrich Planfile has made her job.

The Town of Busti, in Western New York State, currently makes use of an Ulrich Planfile to house important plans and area maps. After having great success with the model, further documentation has created the necessity for another file, and Ulrich was again their choice.

“It is the perfect place to store our Town Maps, Water District Maps, Town Building Maps and our Project Plans. The Ulrich Planfile protects our drawings keeping them flat and in great condition.”-Diane Van Dewark, Town Clerk, Town of Busti

The cabinet keeps the numerous types and kinds of drawings easily accessible and well organized. Ulrich’s accompanying file folders divide the maps and plans into groups and labels them accordingly. Index cards placed in the lid of the unit provide further ease in locating the desired material. The frequent use of these documents make Diane’s job much easier as Ulrich’s vertical filing system makes large drawings easy to access, view and put back in the appropriate order.

Space saving design requires less than ½ the space of flat drawer files.
Planfiles are easy to use and documents are maintained in great condition.
Mobility, fire and water resistance at such an affordable price provide safety and value.
