Storage and Filing Systems

It is important when creating an office workspace to have an organised storage space where everything is easy to find. If you have a lot of paperwork to be filed there are two kinds of filing cabinets to choose between- vertical or lateral. The decision on these filing cabinets often depends on the kind of space you have available. If you have limited floor space, vertical filing cabinets are the better option, arranging documents in drawers from top to bottom. Meanwhile, if floor space is not a concern, lateral filing cabinets have wider drawers with that pull out and let you file from side to side.
Mobile units are some of our most popular products. The mobile pedestal is traditionally designed to slide in under a desk or to side and beside desks. Some offices only need a little filing, or some employees need to have certain files always on hand. This is where you may want to consider a mobile pedestal.
Storage cupboards can also be used as a place to store your office stationary and other supplies, and are available in locking varieties. If you need the extra storage closet space, but don’t have the space for wide open doors in the room where the cupboard will be placed, we have tambour door cupboards. Instead of doors opening outward, they slide into internal cabins on the unit sides, allowing for this storage option even in the tightest of office spaces.

Keeping your office organised

Having the right storage and filing options allow your workforce to easily find the things they need, to allow them to be more productive in the workday. In order to find files and notes quickly, without having everything strewn across the desk, every piece of paper should have somewhere to be filed. Whether filed according to project, client, or with the calendar method, every new piece of information should be stored away- even if it’s on a pinboard! The key to keeping an orderly office is put things away immediately after using it.
The most difficult type of paper to organize is an item that you need to see again in the near future that doesn’t require any immediate action. The answer is a tickler file, which is a rotating calendar for paper that you access each day. You use 43 hanging files, 31 labelled for a day of the month and 12 labelled with the months. You hang it in your file drawer like a calendar, with the current month first and the current day next.

Office chairs – typist, clerical and drafting

Office chairs come in many different styles. The office chairs we mention here are three of the most common found in an office environment.

Office chairs have to provide strong ergonomics technology to ensure that maximum comfort can be obtained from the user day in and day out.

Typist chairs

 As the name of “Typist Chair” may suggest the tradional user of a typist chair would be a receptionist, call centre worker or the like. To adequately suit the ergonomic needs of such users this chair type does not have arms that may restrict typing and bump the users elbows. 

Clerical staff spend a great deal of time at their desks, due to the nature of the job that they are involved in.  A well-designed ergonomic office chair will help ensure they are comfortable and productive.

A great deal of ergonomic study that has gone into the design of office chairs and many of the clerical chairs will have the features built in to further enhance the wellbeing of the user. 

Clerical Chairs

One of the most popular clerical chairs is the Lumber support chair – it provides a great deal of hold for the user with a high back and padded seat, and the lever system provides tilt, recline and support adjustments. 

Heavy duty office chairs can also be purchased.  These usually have a large seat base and high back with additional functions to allow the user full adjustments. Built to withstand daily use, has multiple functionality and is hard wearing.

Drafting chairs are not as common in the standard office environment, but are popular in design studios, architects’ offices and and computer work areas. High reception desks sometimes require drafting chairs. The chairs are designed for maximum functionality, egonomics and comfort.
