When we did an informal survey asking this question, the answer was clear – the lack of ease with which the laptop storage trolley could be moved around. There was talk of clunky, chunky, and basically heavy storage units that simply did not want to be where the user wanted them to be.

Which is why went out looking for something different. And what we found was the ultra-lightweight EcoCart.

Then, since we were working with manufacturers in developing a new type of storage trolley, we threw in a few demands, such as the fact that these trolleys must not rust and they must not dent when attacked by a group of students turning a corner at above the school’s in-building speed limit.

We also asked for them to be constructed in a non-conductive, anti-static material ensuring they are ultra-safe for use in schools.

That was just the trolley bit. Inside we wanted some goodies too.

In our case we ensured that all laptops can be charged from a single mains socket, and the built-in power management system includes an energy-saving programmable timer so you can charge the laptops during the evening or weekends to make the most of off-peak energy supply hours.

The system also protects your laptops and prevents a building’s circuits from being tripped.

An added bonus is that that the trolleys are made of 100% recyclable plastic, so are more ecologically friendly to produce and come with a reduced carbon footprint.

These then are the EcoCarts. They will be on display at the BETT Show at Olympia in January (11th – 14th) on stand E89.
