The idea to lift a car with a lever arch file came about during
endurance testing when it became obvious that the mechanism was
incredibly robust. Leitz wanted to prove how strong the product was but
the results were even beyond their expectations. Launched across Europe
at the end of 2005, the Leitz 180º lever arch file is unique in the
design of its patented metal ring mechanism. This allows the lever to
open a full 180º so that documents can be inserted from both sides. It
also means that it’s 50% wider , allowing more sheets to be inserted in
one go. And, because it is so quick and easy to use, it can shave up to
20% off the time spent filing papers. It’s proved so successful that
three out of five lever arch file users have already adopted this new
file.
