How a Laptop Storage Cart Helps Keep Devices Safe & Organized

No matter what industry you’re in, you’ll agree:

Managing various devices is no small feat. If your tech assets include laptops, you can expect the device management difficulties to multiply by a factor of ten.

From preventing theft to ensuring that your laptops and ChromeBooks are ready to go, there are numerous hurdles that stand between you and successful laptop device management. However, what if we told you that you could hit multiple birds with one stone with just one portable charging solution?

We’re talking about laptop storage carts. With a laptop storage cart, you’ll be able to keep your laptops, MacBooks, and Chromebooks safe from unauthorized access, charged, and always ready.

Learn more about how a MacBook or Chromebook storage cart (or two) can supercharge your organization’s laptop device management.

1. Prevents Theft With Secure Locking Doors and Padlocks

If your devices are in high-traffic environments, the chances of loss and theft aren’t far off. For this reason, you’ll need charging solutions like ChromeBook storage carts that come with physical security features.

Laptop storage carts like our pre-wired charging carts are secure encasements that keep your MacBooks and ChromeBooks safe from unauthorized access. The carts come equipped with front and rear doors that lock in multiple places. Some of our models are even equipped with a three-point system for added reinforcement.

By keeping your assets secure at the point of access, your teams will reduce the margin for loss. Our cart security features are especially protective during off-hours or between shifts when carts are left unattended.

2. Simplified Cable Management: No More Tangled Cables

Loose cables may seem like minor problems, but they can be safety hazards and productivity traps as they snag, fray, unplug, or vanish altogether. As a result, you’ll end up with a cycle of replacements that add to your costs. Worse yet, exposed cables can be trip hazards which can render your team at risk for falls and injuries.

However, laptop storage carts like our CUBE Toploader use cabling systems like CableBoss, which offer:

• Anchored hooks
• Routing notches
• Access panels

These and other features keep cables in place and organized, reducing the chances of entanglements and fraying.

Most importantly, the cabling systems are located in the right areas of each cubicle. As a result, your team will be able to plug in laptops without having to manually locate wires.

3. Keeps Devices Organized in Individual Compartments

How many laptops do you manage?

Is it 15? Maybe it’s as many as 30.

No matter how many laptops you’re securing and charging, organization is a non-negotiable. More specifically, you’ll need charging solutions that prevent your laptops from getting bunched up. After all, how long can you expect a laptop to last after it has been subjected to years of pressure?

Luckily, there are charging carts on the market designed with individual compartments. For example, our CUBE X Pre-Wired Cart is a laptop storage cart with wheels, equipped with two tiers of dividers — 16 per side.

With this much-individualized storage, you’ll be able to charge laptops without having to stack them on top of each other.

4. Fully Charges Your Devices (and Keeps Them Ready To Go) With Smart Power Management

Have you been resorting to extension cords to power up multiple laptops? Be aware:

There are risks to doing this — both for your devices and your floor’s circuitry. Continue with this method of charging your laptops, and you’ll be risking overloads, inconsistent charging, or worse, downtime when devices are needed most.

But with a charging cart like the LINK Cart, you’ll be able to charge your laptops consistently and without overloading your floor’s breakers. This laptop storage cart with wheels comes with smart power management features capable of delivering uniform output.

With the Link Cart, there’s no longer any need for wall-mounted outlets or extension cords. All you need to do is plug your MacBooks or ChromeBooks in, and wait for the LED light to indicate that your laptop is fully charged and ready.

5. Enables Quick Updates With Network-Ready Design

Once stored, your laptops will be out of your way. However, they’ll still need attention, especially when some are running on vital programs or operating systems.

Updates are always necessary, but updating individual units can take time out of your team’s busy schedule. Wouldn’t it be great to have a solution that charges your devices and updates them at the same time?

Luckily, such a solution exists, and it’s in the form of laptop storage carts like the LINK Cart.

Such laptop charging carts are pre-wired and network-ready. These carts come equipped with Ethernet switches and pre-wired connections that can give your IT team the necessary infrastructure to push updates or manage settings remotely.

With these features, your entire laptop fleet remains up-to-date without interrupting your day-to-day.

Keep Your Laptops Powered, Protected, and (Always) in Place

We’ve all seen these things happen:

Chargers disappear.

Cables tangle.

And devices get misplaced.

Without a reliable system in place, managing shared laptops turns into a daily shuffle of guessing and fixing. If you’ve ever had to come up with ways to keep your fleet safe and ready at a moment’s notice, a laptop storage cart may just be the all-in-one solution you need.

Simplify how your organization stores, charges, and moves its devices. For reliable, smart, and portable charging solutions that supercharge your device management, we at Bretford have the solutions for you.
