fiza Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I have seen some charging trolleys that you access from the top which I quite like but they don't seem to be available in the UK. Has anyone used something similar or knows where to get something similar? Datamation Carts and Cabinets for Google Chromebooks
seawolf Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Here you go, this should fit the bill - LocknCharge Europe
fiza Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Here you go, this should fit the bill - LocknCharge Europe @seawolf - I did look at them already. Unfortunately they only do a cart for 40 units. We want something slightly smaller for around 16-20 chromebooks with a few dotted around the school.
robjduk Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Just bought one of these for 32 Chromebooks. Works very well... Focus™ 36M
NotSoFast Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 We're going for the Lock n charge as I like the fact there are baskets. We're going to have them bookable in 5s. Fingers crossed...
fiza Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 i do like the look of the lockNCharge. If they only did a smaller trolley I would buy.
HTCPCP Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 we just use normal netbook charging stackers here. Unless you need to move them around, then they are far better at charging the units

Just so people know. We ended up buying the LockNCharge but we found that the Dell Chromebooks we had didn't fit once you put them on charge. The charging cable sticks up too high and the door catches them as you close it. We had someone from LockNCharge out to have a look and they agreed. Apparently a new version of the trolley is due in Nov in the UK and this will have adjustable shelves. We will be swapping to that hopefully.
witch Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Bretford have a good range- expensive but very robust: Chromebooks
NotSoFast Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The lock n charge works well with Acer c720, just for everyone's info.
HTCPCP Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 We have some LapSafe UnoCarts which we use for everything from ipads to laptops. As long as you have long enough cables (which chromebooks normally come with) then they are perfect. I also believe I have seen somewhere a netbook version which should work with Chromebooks. The cable management is relatively good and the oldest one we have is just over 2 years and still moving like it was new. Bit fidly plugging the chargers in to start with but apart from that they are fantastic!
