General Information
Quality By Design
In 1973, JETER SYSTEMS designed its line
of shelf filing cabinets to be the best available
anywhere. Today, they are even better, due to
our continual improvements.
Complete Line Tailored
To Customers’ Needs
• New! SuperStax™ File –
Eliminates All Shelf Edges
For Quicker Processing
JETER SYSTEMS developed a breakthrough
with the new SuperStax file, a redesign of the
Stax file.
This new product has eliminated all lips at the
front edges allowing greater access to the front
shelf opening entry point. As a result, personnel
can process documents more quickly.
Faster, Easier Filing
With JETER SYSTEMS’
Unique Features
JETER SYSTEMS’ cabinets are always provided
with the proper number of file dividers to keep
records upright and in fast-finding order. Our
dividers are welded into the units so they’re
always in place, and their weight-bearing design
prevents the file shelves from ever sagging.
Our files are designed with the correct amount
of vertical space between the shelf rows.
Many others are not, which can cause difficulty
and folder damage during filing operations. In
addition, the low overall height of our cabinets
makes the top shelf lower and more accessible
than other designs.
When moving JETER cabinets, folders can be
secured in their tiers to save the time and cost
of unloading, reloading and the potential loss of
records. The extra-strong construction of our
files withstands the rigors of moving, whether in
relocation or in use on mobile systems.
The Slant file’s angular design promotes enhanced visibility.
• Stax® File –
Stackable For A Variety Of
Heights And Additions
All JETER shelf files are stackable to provide
for a variety of cabinet heights as well as ease
in adding more shelf openings later. Because
the stackable shelf is its own structure, it
wastes no space for uprights, supports or
thick shelves.
• Slant ™ File –
Slanted To Promote Fast,
Accurate Filing
The complete JETER line features the Slant file,
which we invented and originally patented for
use with color-coded folders. Its slanted shape
causes the end tab of each folder to be visible
at a glance to promote fast, accurate filing.
• Trax™ Rolling Bases –
For JETER Cabinets
JETER SYSTEMS also offers Trax, the system
of rolling bases for Slant, Stax and SuperStax.
Trax adds a row of cabinets in front of a row
for greater file capacity.

Spacers allow uniformity in shelf height when
used in conjunction with cabinets that have
work shelves. File spacers add 21⁄2" to keep
all file rows uniform in height. The spacer
may be used as a convenient cubbyhole for
“to be filed” material or supply items such as
“out guides.”
Top & Base Set
The base for Slant and Stax cabinets is 2" high.
The top panel is flush with the top tier, adding
almost no height. One Top & Base set is
required to complete a cabinet.
A 4" Top & Base set is available for letter-size
units only.
The two-piece Top & Base set may be special
ordered as separate pieces. Tops are 35
percent of set price and bases are 75 percent
of set price.
To maximize the file capacity of virtually any
available space, most JETER shelf units are
available in 2', 3', 3 1⁄2' and 4' shelf widths. All
offer extremely fast assembly to deliver cost efficiency from the start.

• Dividers to support the folders are
very important to worker productivity
and convenience. Our cabinets have a
different number of dividers based on
the width of the shelf and the size of the
folders. We create ideal-sized cavities
6-7" wide which perfectly support letter/
legal folders. Smaller sizes – like minis
– get more dividers to support the
smaller folders. Use the chart on page 7
to determine the number of dividers in
each standard shelf. We can eliminate or
add dividers for special requirements.
Special-sized shelves are available in 100shelf lots, with certain limitations. Contact

SuperStax Files
SuperStax Files
SuperStax is the newest development in filing
cabinets at JETER. After 20 years, we have
redesigned the Stax system for letter-size filing
into what we call our new “SuperStax.”
Shelf Edges Have Been
Reduced To Create Larger
Vertical Openings For Greater
Access To Your Folders
to the thickness of hemmed metal, which
means that the vertical openings of all JETER
SuperStax files are greater. There are no edges
at the front to catch file folders going in and
out of the file. This unique design allows far
greater access when filing or retrieving folders.
SuperStax provides a clearance of 10 1⁄4" for
standard 9 1⁄2" high end tab folders. Many
systems only provide 9 3⁄4" which is too close
for fast filing.
The first change we made was to remove all of
the shelf lip edges. The front shelf lips on the
Stax file are 3⁄8". Now they have been reduced

Special Tooling Guarantees
Exact Dimensions
This new, patent-pending design is manufactured with special tooling to ensure correct
dimensions. A machine folds the cabinet,
producing the correct height each time. Many
competitive units do not utilize this type of
equipment. It ensures our units will be exactly
square with the same heights time after time.
New, Redesigned C-Shaped
Dividers Become Like
Support Posts In A Building
Dividers are welded into all JETER filing cabinets.
We have also redesigned the divider. Our new
C-shaped divider is also manufactured on a
special machine. This machine ensures overall
tolerances on these divider heights that exactly
match the cabinet that they are welded into.
When the shelves stack up on one another, the
dividers from one unit touch the shelf above.
The file shelf dividers actually become like
support posts in a building – the heavier the
weight applied, the more secure and stable the
units become.

A new federal auto titling system is being

States. Automobile titles are now being created
in a totally new size that is 8" H x 7" W. This
new size is different from the previous titles
issued, and JETER has developed a cabinet
especially designed for this application. These
cabinets are unique in depth, at slightly under
9", with an overall height profile of slightly
over 8". This size enables nine Auto-Title
shelves to stack up only slightly taller than
seven letter-size Stax shelves – adding significant capacity gains.

Stax Files
Stax Files
JETER SYSTEMS’ Stax file was introduced
in 1974. In the past 20 years, we have sold
thousands and thousands of these shelves
throughout the world. This filing cabinet was
always designed to be just that – a filing cabinet.
It should not be confused with less expensive,
open-sided four-post-type equipment. Every
JETER Stax cabinet is closed at the back and at
both sides. Its dimensions are designed to be
exactly correct for all different sized file folders.
The Most Space-Efficient
Cabinets In The Industry
Stax cabinets are the most space efficient and
offer the most file capacity. No space is wasted
for posts or uprights because each shelf is its
own strong, supporting structure.
Steel-To-Steel
Interconnect System For
Solid Attachment
All JETER cabinets are modular, meaning that
each shelf goes together shelf by shelf with the
use of seven convenient, easy-to-use rivet
fasteners. The cabinets have a steel interconnect
mechanism to ensure that they stay firmly
interconnected and attached. Since these
products are modular, they are flexible in height
and can be added to at any time.
JETER cabinets are available in
a variety of widths and sizes.

Lower Top Row
Superior Quality
Paint Finish
Because Stax files have only a 3⁄8" shelf lip, the
efficiencies of these units vertically is far
greater than thick, shelf equipment. JETER
cabinets have a lower top row. Our thin shelf
is supported by our unique, integral-welded
file support dividers.
All surfaces are painted with superior quality,
durable baked enamel. Colors are electronically
matched so new and old units can intermix
without color variation from year to year.
Cabinet Depths Allow For
Better Visibility Of Folders
Strategically Placed
Dividers For Faster Filing
Actions – As Well As
Superior Strength
Each size of JETER filing equipment has been
designed for the specific media it is to contain.
As a result, all of our cabinets allow the file
folder tabs to stick out slightly from the filing
cabinet for better visibility. Never can the folders be recessed into the cabinet and away from
the available light in the file room.
The support dividers are placed strategically
across the width of each shelf. Differing numbers of dividers are added to wider shelf units,
with the idea to create small openings of
approximately 6-7" in width so that the file
folders remain in an upright manner and that
their color coding remains in perfect alignment. This enables the file folder to be
removed and refiled with ease. These dividers
support and make the cabinets very rigid,
individual units, without the need for spacewasting support posts, as is required with
cantilevered and/or four-post shelving.
No Equipment
On The Market Can Equal
The Filing Capacity
Per Square Foot
The full width of JETER cabinets is available
for folders. Most 36" units sold by competitors
have less than 36" available for folders. JETER
cabinets accept folders equal to the full width
of the unit. For example, JETER 48" units have
48" of filing capacity.
Color Selection
Neutral colors offer a noncompetitive background for our precise color-coded filing systems. Neutral Lite and Light Gray are the two
standard colors. Special colors are available to
match any office decor.
Heavy-Duty Modular
Equipment vs. Light-Duty
Modular Equipment
JETER Stax files allow you to store all types of media in one storage unit.
Cabinets Designed For The
Size Of Folders They Contain
Variety Of Sizes To Meet
Customers’ Needs
On letter-size units, we have provided a proper
folder clearance at 101⁄8". This is a comfortable
dimension for end tab folders, which are
generally 91⁄2" high. Our legal-size units are
spaced more generously because legal records
tend to be held in accordion-style pockets that
require more vertical space. Our cabinets are
designed specifically for the size media they
contain, meaning that the proper dimensions
are available to allow folders to enter and exit
the file conveniently, comfortably and swiftly.
JETER makes Stax cabinets in a variety of
sizes. Most of our cabinets come in standard
width sections of 24", 36", 42" and 48" to
maximize the available floor space. See chart
on page 7 for available sizes. From the beginning, these heavily reinforced cabinets were
designed to be strong, allowing them to be
placed safely on our Trax and E-Z Roller
Systems. Stax cabinets are available in letter,
legal, X-ray and mini for the most efficient
storage of a wide variety of media.
Mixed Media Storage
Within One Cabinet
Variety Of Bases
JETER shelves are considerably heavier than
most stackable shelves. We use heavier steel
and more reinforcement to ensure that our
cabinets are strong. Lighter-weight systems do
not stand up well when used on mobile
systems. They simply cannot take the shock
through their unreinforced corners when the
units come to a halt against the bumpers.
Because these units are much weaker, their
structure is lessened to the point that they are
also more difficult to move with records intact.
Bases come in 2" and 4".
Media can be mixed with folders, binders and
computer printouts. For small offices, one
cabinet can be purchased and reconfigured as
needs change.

Triangular, Welded
Corner Reinforcements For
Strength And Stability
For maximum strength and stability, JETER
welds triangular corner gussets to reinforce
the corners of each shelf cabinet. This provides strength, especially against the stress
created when used in a mobile system.
STAX & SUPERSTAX SIZES
All Stax equipment have small front shelf
edges that never conceal file folders or cause
them to snag upon removal from the file.
Cabinets Can Be Moved
Fully Loaded
One of the most important advantages of JETER
Stax equipment comes on moving day. JETER
filing cabinets can be moved with their contents
intact. Almost all other filing equipment
requires the files to be removed and boxed, and
the equipment knocked down for transportation
and reassembly at the new location.

Superior Quality
Work Shelves
For referencing material while at the file, we
provide high quality, roll-out work shelves for
most of our filing units, which allow both
hands to be free for filing. Shelf files typically
do not offer a proper horizontal work surface
to allow a file operator to insert pages into a
folder or to search for specific documents at
the file. Our high-quality, durable, hard-working
shelves are available in most sizes.

Legal-Size Stax Cabinets
Designed For Taller Records
JETER’s legal-size Stax cabinets are designed
to work with taller legal records. Unlike some
companies, our legal-size units are 3⁄8" greater
per shelf in the clear file folder opening. This
allows for the greater overall height often
found with legal records. Many legal records
use expansion pockets, which force internal
folders to be taller than their normal profile.
The extra spacing offered with JETER legal-size
cabinets allows for the additional space
required for this specific media. Legal depth
shelves for letter-size ring binders are now
available. Many legal applications require
storage space for ring binders, and our ringbinder-size tiers allow for the correct height.
They can be intermixed and located anywhere
in a stack of legal-size shelves.

JETER’s X-ray-size Stax cabinets incorporate
the 3⁄8" lip design for rigid shelf strength and
low shelf profiles. The top row of this 5-high
unit is often many inches less in height than
competitive systems. Do not confuse these
high-quality, fully welded filing cabinets with
open industrial shelf-type units. The dividers
in our units are welded into place and
designed to hold up under the rigors of this
heavy media.
This legal-size file cabinet incorporates our NEW legal-size ring-binder shelf. These shelves can be located
at any level within a legal-size cabinet.

Mini-Size Cabinets For
Smaller Than Letter-Size Documents
This heavy-duty cart rides on
5" wheels for easy rolling (two
fixed and two swivel). A heavyduty, aluminum frame supports
a 3-high letter Stax unit. The top
is melamine with a heavy-duty
push/pull handle. Comes completely assembled.
The mini-size cabinet was developed by JETER in order to meet the
growing needs of those that had smaller than letter-size documents.
Our mini cabinets are often used by dermatologists and overwhelmingly accepted in the optical field. They are less than 9" in depth,
with a height of less than 7", which means that they can be stacked
vertically and save a tremendous amount of space in comparison to
letter-size systems. The mini product is available in three widths to
maximize the capacity of available office space. Mini-size folders are
designed to be used with this system.

Slant Files
Slant Files
A revolutionary concept in shelf filing, JETER
designed the Slant cabinet specifically for
use with color-coded files. The shelves are
parallelogram-shaped, with the slant of the
cabinet causing each folder to extend past
the one next to it. Because you see each folder
better–you file faster!
55-Degree-Parallelogram
Design Displays ColorCoding At Its Utmost
Having the narrowest depth in the industry,
Slant files are thinner from front to back. Letter
size is only 10", legal size is 121/2" and X-ray
size is 15" deep. Work shelves provide a rollout work surface at the cabinet and allow both
hands to be free for filing. Spacers offer storage for “to be filed” material and “out folders.”
Variety Of Space-Saving
Features
Slant files allow more rows in a small space
than other types of files. Twenty-four inch,
36" and 48" tiers maximize the available floor
space. Two-inch and 4" bases enable the
bottom tier to be easily accessed. Four-inch
bases are available for letter Slant only.
Full-height welded dividers prevent shelf
deflection and are placed in the proper distances to keep folders upright, yet not waste
space. Letter-size Slant units are equipped
with our NEW C-shaped divider which provides a platform on the top of the divider to
receive the shelf above. This adds strength by
providing a nesting surface for the shelf
above, and is an integral part of the strength of
the unit. Each divider supports the weight vertically throughout the cabinet.

Strength And Stability With
Fast Assembly
Heavy 18-gauge steel is used for a much
stronger cabinet than other stackables. Seven
drive rivets plus our steel-to-steel interconnect
system secure the shelves vertically. Triangular,
welded corner reinforcements provide strength
and stability especially against stress created
when used on mobile systems.
Slant files are modular so they can be stacked
for easy expansion and moving, even when
fully loaded. Quick assembly makes for fast
setups and moves.
For a quality appearance, superior baked
enamel paint finish is applied to all surfaces.
Neutral Lite and Light Gray offer a noncompetitive background for color coding.
Some Important
Considerations
Slant files have unusual dimensions. The
first section in any row is longer than the other
sections in the row because each additional
cabinet nests into the cabinet next to it.

Note: Dimension (A) is the overall width

X-ray-size Slant files are capable of handling the
75-100 pounds per shelf foot of X-ray films.
Vertical file supports are spaced throughout the
shelves, similar to building pillars, for extra
strength. A JETER five-high unit is only 79" in
height with a 3/8" shelf lip, making it one of the
lowest five-high X-ray shelf cabinets available.

Reduce Filing Room Operating Cost And
Increase Efficiencies
The cost of operating a file department is mostly the cost of the employees that
process the work. The equipment and the supplies used generally equal
15 percent of the total operating cost. As a result, any equipment that can have
an impact on the productivity of the workers will, in fact, reduce the overall
operating cost of the department by increasing its efficiency.

There can be no question that poorly designed and cumbersome filing equipment affects the morale and the operating effectiveness of file room personnel.
Our files are used by some of the largest filing departments in the country, and
we consider the individual needs of each of our customers, large or small.
General Purpose Four-Post
Shelving Is Not Correct
For Most Filing Sizes And
For Fast Filing
Our specifically designed filing cabinets offer
huge advantages over the common, inexpensive, four-post open shelving offered by so
many manufacturers. The original concept of
four-post shelving is good. It is, however, just
that – a shelving system. Four-post shelving
systems have adjustability based on 11⁄2" centers, like all industrial-based shelving. Unfortunately, the 11⁄2" spacing of four-post and all
other general purpose shelving is not correct for
most folder sizes. The distance between the
shelf and the folders is normally too tight to
allow for fast filing.
The following is a review of some of the most noteworthy
differences between JETER cabinets and four-post shelving:
1. Unique Cabinet Design
Front-to-back, double-deep file shelves generally
have a divider only a few inches high separating
the folders, front to back. Again, it is not impossible for records to be inadvertently transferred
from one face of the unit to the other face over
the top of this back stop.
File Folders Get Lost With
Open Sides And Backs
To always be the “lowest price,” this equipment
is almost always proposed with inadequate
dividers and open sides and backs. Most people do not realize that. There are gaps and
spaces where file folders can actually catch
within the shelves, yet remain completely out
of sight. These units are open side to side,
which allows folders to pass from section to
section. Folders can easily hide behind the
thick vertical support posts.
The filing equipment that you contemplate purchasing is likely to be used more
than 10 years. Only 30 minutes per day of savings is equal to more than one
year of savings over those 10 years. So time savings add up fast in dollars on
the budget. Faster is better.
Notice the open sides and low back stop which separate files in a double-faced unit.
All JETER filing units are closed at the
top, bottom, back and both sides.This
closed design is particularly advantageous in that file folders cannot ever
be lost behind any flanges or within the
cabinet.
2. Fire Protection
In the event of an inadvertent sprinkler
system going off, or a small fire, records
are contained in individual steel cavities
that do not allow for the penetration of air,
such as open units. This means that folders would be more difficult to burn and
more protected from water damage. Wet
file folders would cause the load to get
heavier and are likely to be in excess
of what the floor is designed to hold.
Large accumulations of wet records could
cause a building floor to collapse.
Many file departments operate on a 24-hour-a-day basis, and have a substantial
investment in the personnel that move the folders in and out of their files. These
costs are real, even in smaller file operations. Our advantages can be looked at
as cost-saving investments, rather than as expenses.
We have spent unmeasurable amounts of time discussing and reviewing the
operations of many filing departments across the country. We commonly handle
file conversions and other filing tasks that are a part of our Company’s offering.
Our designs incorporate the lessons that we have learned, as we have worked with
the inconveniences of a lot of different shelf styles and designs from other
companies.
3. Dividers
Ordinary four-post shelving has open sides and backs,
making it easy for folders to become lost or hidden.
30
not supported, they tend to fall over much like
unsupported library books on a shelf. Records
in a fallen over and/or an unsupported,
slumped position are not visually correct for
color coding. The color coding becomes out
of alignment and is rendered useless for the
purpose of identifying records.
FOUR-POST SHELVES
Most four-post shelving systems use removable
22-gauge steel dividers as their means of
supporting folders. Please recognize the importance of supporting records, because if they are
Most systems of this type are quoted with far
too few dividers. Often times a 3' shelf is
quoted with only three dividers. Recognize
that two of those dividers will be required to
develop the “ends” of the shelf. The end of
the shelf prevents the files from going behind
what we call the “front shelf post,” going up
the front of the shelving at its four corners.
This means that one divider is left to support
the records. These lightweight dividers
normally cannot support this kind of weight.
As a result, they bend. Once the dividers have
been bent and abused in this fashion, the
adjustability becomes invalid because the
small tabs are bent and do not remove or
insert easily from the shelves. Most of these
dividers are soon unworkable, and, as a result,
they are largely never used. As a consequence,
34" expanses of material on 36" shelves are
not being supported at all. It is not uncommon
with this type of filing equipment to see these
dividers stacked in piles in the corner because
file personnel reject them as totally unworkable.

4. Shelf Spacing
FOUR-POST SHELVES
Four-post units are adjustable on 11⁄2" centers.
This works fine in most warehousing applica-
Dividers not being used at a large insurance company.
Every JETER filing unit is designed to
include a proper array of file support
dividers. Since JETER filing cabinets
were originally designed to hold folders,
and not just as general purpose shelving, we have incorporated the proper
amount to correctly support color-coded
folders in a true, upright fashion. It is not
left up to the file room employees to
make the determination regarding the
proper placement of the divider, but
rather it is designed at the factory into
small record sections of approximately
6". This means that even when only one
file folder is in a certain section, it can
never fall over into a horizontal position –
it stands upright, displaying its color
coding as intended.
tions for the storing of miscellaneous product.
It does not, however, work well for filing folders. The available space between the rows for
a 91⁄2" file folder is reduced to only 97⁄8" (some
even less – down to 9 5⁄8"). This means that the
file folder is almost exactly the same height as
the available space into which it is to be
inserted. It becomes a very difficult task at the
higher and lower openings of the file, and file
folders used in this kind of equipment show
tremendous damage to their top edges as a
result of the inadequately sized opening. The
transfer or shifting of records within four-post
type equipment is very difficult because of this
limited amount of vertical space. One folder is
difficult enough, but imagine trying to align a
double handful of folders, as is common in a
shift of file location.
We design each of our filing cabinets to
satisfy the needs of a specific size of
media. The new SuperStax does an even
better job of this because all of its front
lip edges are now flat, making the space
between our shelves the largest. This
extra-large opening means that file folders move in and out of the file much
more easily. Groups of records can be
transferred without the cumbersome
inconvenience of having them not fit into
the shelf opening. This open design is
much faster and more convenient for file
department personnel.
5. Capacity
FOUR-POST SHELVES
All four-post shelf units have a cumbersome
2" wide front post. The L-shape or T-shape
conceals 1" of records on each end of every
shelf. As a result, a shelf divider is placed
1" in from each end of their shelf. This allows
for 34" of filing capacity within each 36" shelf.
This is an immediate five percent loss in
filing-inch capacity.

6. Base Assemblies

JETER shelves have a full width front
opening. A 36" shelf yields a full 36" of
filed material. There are no shelf lips or
edges to waste space or hide folders.
Single folder supported by welded dividers.
FOUR-POST SHELVES
The bottom shelf on four-post equipment is too
close to the floor. Because its openings are
reduced by its design, it is extremely difficult
to insert folders on the bottom shelf. When filing into this opening, the folders often times
come in contact with the floor and/or the shelf
above. It is a very awkward level.
JETER files are available with a
standard 2" base. A 4" base is also
available to move the folders off the
floor even more. Whichever base is
chosen, the efficiency of the vertical
height of this file cabinet is unrivaled.

offered for folders is the greatest available. We simply do not waste the space

be assembled together back to back and
side to side, and at any time reconfigured into a completely different situation. Shelves can be removed to turn
seven-highs into five-highs; back-to-back
units can become single faced; tops can
be added for counter-height units; and all
of the equipment can be reconfigured to
whatever the requirement is at that time.

7. Modular Design
FOUR-POST SHELVES
Four-post filing equipment comes in what is
known as a knocked-down condition. Assembly
is cumbersome, and freight damage and poor
paint quality are typical. You cannot add to the
top of a four-post unit, and you cannot turn double-face units into single-face units in the future.
This illustrates the loss of 1" of file space at each end
of the four-post shelf because of the design of its thick,
upright post.
JETER’s cabinets are modular. Each
shelf stacks up and interconnects to the
others within the same stack. They can
This view shows the bottom of the rivets in their expanded
fashion, holding the cabinets securely together at seven
locations per shelf.

8. Moving Day
FOUR-POST SHELVES
Because four-post equipment is made of
interconnecting parts, it must be entirely disassembled before it can be moved. File rooms
move often, and it is a cumbersome task. When
moving four-post shelves, all of the records
must first be removed and put into cartons.
The cartoning and labeling process not only
causes confusion, but it is time consuming.
When cartoned records arrive at the new location, they are most often out of order, with the
last box arriving first. In major record moves,
records are normally returned to the shelves
by movers. These movers do not have a great
sensitivity for filing. Often, records are left too
tight or with extra-large gaps in the areas
where they are not required.
JETER Cabinets vs.Four-Post Shelving
When moving JETER SYSTEMS’ modular
filing equipment, the file folders stay in
the shelves. In smaller letter-size units,
the file cabinets are separated into the
bottom four shelves and the top three
shelves. The openings of the files are
wrapped with filament tape to make
sure that the folders do not fall out. The
cabinet sections can then be moved
directly to a moving van or the waiting
elevators. Once these cabinet sections
arrive at the new location, they are easily reconfigured because the file folders
are contained within their shelves.
Each standard seven-high would
contain about 15 boxes of records. As
a result, having two distinct cabinet
sections arrive with the records intact
means a lot less reorganization and
confusion. Because the records are
never removed from the shelves,
the spacing of those records is left
undisturbed, as is the file room personnel’s sense of file location. The “K”
section starts in exactly the same shelf
location as previously to the move.
9. Mobile Systems
10. Appearance
FOUR-POST SHELVES
The original four-post designs were invented
prior to the advent of mobile filing. The
strength of all filing units is tested when the
shelves are mounted on top of rolling bases.
The shock that occurs when the units arrive at
the end of their travel is severe. Thousands of
pounds of records can abruptly stop as they
contact rubber bumpers at the end of rails.
The shock is transmitted throughout the structure of all filing units. It is common to see
lightweight four-post and cantilever equipment
sway and wave as the carriages move across
the rails. This instability of the shelving systems can cause stress to the structural support
of the shelving.
FOUR-POST SHELVES
Four-post equipment has a more industrial
appearance. Its open framework can be
unattractive.
JETER filing equipment is designed to
be used both in a stationary fashion as
well as in a mobile installation. JETER
SYSTEMS’ cabinets are so strong that
even under the most abrupt stops or
starts you will never see them sway.
JETER’s cabinets have always been
designed as office furniture. Our paint
quality and the entire appearance of
our product is for front-office use. Our
cabinet backs are smooth and attractive
and can be used as office dividers. Our
paint colors complement any decor, and
special colors are available. You will
never see paint runs or an unpainted
surface on any of our filing cabinets.
Our paint colors are always identical,
order after order, year after year.
High-quality ball bearing systems make JETER’s work
shelves trouble-free, even in high-activity situations.
11. Work Shelves
FOUR-POST SHELVES
In some cases, four-post units can receive
work shelves. These work shelves tend to be
designed as light-duty units and do not normally hold up well to the excessive activities
found in most filing departments. Work
shelves used with four-post shelves are bolted
to the bottom of one of the shelves. These
bolts stick through the shelf and can provide
an obstacle for a returning file folder. The
addition of a work shelf reduces the height of
the file shelf below by 1", actually rendering it
useless in some cases.
With their smooth backside, JETER cabinets can be used as office dividers.
JETER’s work shelves use the highest
quality ball bearing suspension systems available. These work shelves are
designed to be trouble-free, even for
those who have a high-activity, 24hour-a-day file department. The correct
work shelf is an important addition to
any shelf file.
investment as they yield benefits each
day in worker productivity, which results
in more filing activities per day. JETER
work shelves have a red Formica edge
to alert when they have been left in an
open position.
Shelf files do not have any horizontal
surfaces. As a result, without a work
shelf, referencing material and/or
adding or deleting documents requires
the file folder to be removed from its
location. Work shelves are an excellent
