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