Laptop trollies - looking for cheap but good!

[AlexM]

Hi all,

 

just wondering if anyone has experience of decent laptop trollies that are cheap and cheerful? Another thing that would be useful is a trolley that doesn't make it too difficult to remove the chargers from - so many make them a little too permenantly installed which can be a pain when you want to guarantee a laptop session (for example when taking part in the national tests).

 

Any advice on suppliers would be very gratefully received.

if

a) they don;t have to move the trolley (OK - i.e. it is not a trolley - but I have come across this a lot)

and

b) you can trust the users to not try to remove the charger themselves

 

then these may be worth looking at

Used them in my last school - the shelves have a plug at the back for the charger - I stuck some industrial Velro to the roof of the shelf and onto the charger so it would stick to the roof - easy to remove when necessary

But, of course, you need to be able to trust people not to remove them themselves - because you know they will not put them back!

 

 

 

 

of course that does make them useless for most people - but it depends on what you need - worked great at my last school (mostly)

Always label chargers so you can tell who nicked them

With UV pen as well in case they remove the label....

I have one that may be available second hand. Lapsafe, currently set up for Dell Inspiron 1546. Charging is built in, so your PSUs can be kept for ad-hoc use. 20 slots and two shelves, but I have extra giblets so it could be expanded.

 

PM me if interested; shipping would be a significant cost; it is HEAVY.
