Description

Map File Cabinets Features

Of course these Fire Resistant cabinets protect your blueprint storage, and engineering prints, you won't find this feature in flat files. In addition, these map file cabinets provide great document protection.
Fire Resistance

Fire Resistant –  Moreover, the double wall construction combines fire resistant insulation with dead air space, providing nearly 5 to 7 times more fire protection than is available from the competition.

As a result of controlled testing we know this system can withstand extended temperatures of up to 550° F for at least 1 hour with the contents of the cabinet remaining at temperatures generally regarded as safe for documents.


Space Saving

Planfile holds more documents in less space than any other filing system. Reducing floor space requirements up to 66%


 

Easily file blueprints, plans and maps. Because all filing is done at waist height.

Easy to Use

    Dave Weadock – January 16, 2020

    Our Parks Department has utilized the Ulrich Cabinet since 1997, and the files stored within have been preserved very well. The cabinet is in perfect working order, and provides a worry-free storage solution for our many drawing sets.

    • Barbara Berry – January 17, 2020

      We are proud to a small support of the wonderful things the Parks Department has provided for 20+ years. Thanks Dave

    My experience with Ulrich was outstanding! Thank you Barb, for all of your knowledge, patience and understanding. It has made the process smooth. We appreciate all your help!

    • Barbara Berry – November 5, 2019

      Brenda, thank you for your kind words. We are glad that we could get you just what you wanted. And it was great working with you!

    James Shaw – February 19, 2018

    Our Ulrich planfile unit has served our company well over the years. The unit was here when I came to work for this company, so I am not sure when it was purchased. It continues to serve us well. One day the lock broke and we tried to have it repaired by a locksmith, but no luck. I sent an email to the company and got a response very quickly. Barb Berry returned my email and was very helpful by finding me a new lock for our unit. Barb is one of those type of employees that give customers that WOW! moment.

    • Barbara Berry – February 19, 2018

      Thanks James, thats very kind! I can’t take all the credit I have a great team that makes me look good. Your cabinet was built in the early 1990’s. So a little over 20 years old.

    Halene Inoke – December 19, 2017

    I have had such a great experience with Ulrich. I needed to get my planfile cabinet delivered before December 31, for budget reasons, and it was delivered with time to spare. Barb Berry was amazing to work with. She took my order and kept me informed of the progress on the cabinet from start to finish and was so very helpful and kind. The cabinet is well made and very accessible. I have purchased two cabinets from Ulrich and will most definitely purchase others.

    • Barbara Berry – December 19, 2017

      Thanks Halene! You are so kind. It was our pleasure.

      Thank you Don. We are glad the cabinet is working for you.
