Product Features

Our products are well-built and designed to last not just years but generations. Our products are built to strict high quality standards, and are the only cabinets that are fire and water-resistant. Take a tour of our features. We invite you to compare our products to any other system on the market. See our product in action – product demo video.

Space Savings

space-savings

An Ulrich Planfile or Planfile 2 holds as many drawings as six – five drawer flat file sections.

Compression System

cut-away-pockets
This seems too good to be true! We accomplish this through the use of our unique compression system. By using 4 rows of conical springs on each of 15 internal pockets, this system maintains bilateral pressure that holds the documents flat, smooth and in place. Reducing the space required for storage. Pressure remains at the same gentle level even at maximum capacity.
cut-away-pockets-webbing
Fabric webbing closes the bottom of the 15 internal pockets. This webbing gently grips the bottom of the folder preventing the possibility of documents curling, thereby preventing document damage.
delrin-rollers
On the top of each of these pockets is a hanger bar. We have added Delrin rollers at the end of each hanger bar which allow them to shift freely. Whether you have just begun to load the Planfile or are reaching maximum capacity. This free movement makes removal and inspection of documents simple, easier and fast. And the rollers ensure gentle even compression.
