Robust key and lock assembly keeps devices secure. Double- hinged, locking steel front doors with recessed handle open 180° to reveal notebook storage shelves. Lightweight, up to 49% smaller than competitive product, this compact cart design makes it easy to safely move from room to room. The PS Tablet Charging Cart works in any environment, including education, healthcare and enterprise applications. Designed to be compatible with a wide variety of manufacturers such as Microsoft, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus and Acer.
Universal design
The open architecture design works with up to 30 tablets, Chromebook, MacBook or Ultrabook computers (with displays up to 13.3"). It is designed to be compatible with a wide variety of manufacturers such as Microsoft, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus, and Acer. Device slot size: 15.3"D x 12.3"H x 1.1"W (389 x 313 x 28 mm). Generally compatible with most 13.3" and some 14.0" display devices. Two country-specific 15-outlet power strips are provided to plug-in up to 30 AC adapters. The unique, flexible design accommodates a variety of brick and plug styles for adaptors that won’t fit in standard outlet strips.
PowerShuttle® technology
The innovative PowerShuttle technology automatically optimizes total charge time for up to 30 devices and safely prevents overloading electrical circuits by efficiently grouping the number of devices that are charged at one time. Its LED status indicators provide users with zone charging status. The cart includes country-specific external auxiliary outlet for other peripheral devices (2 receptacles for North America/Japan models, 1 for all other countries). Max current 100-120V ~50/60Hz, 4A or 220-240V ~50/60H, 5.5A. Power is continuous to these outlets when in use.
How it works: When the cart is plugged in, the system automatically measures and stores the current draw of the external outlet and the power strips inside the cart (5 devices per zone). Max wall current is 12A for 100-120V countries and 8A for 220-240V countries. The PowerShuttle subtracts the current for the always-on devices (auxiliary outlets) from the max wall current. This leaves the amount of current available for the power strips. PowerShuttle then groups the power strips in the minimum number of groups for charging without exceeding the max wall current.
Durable, secure storage
For user and equipment safety, the entire cart is tested and certified to UL 60950 and 1678 standards. A robust key and lock assembly keeps devices secure. The double-hinged, locking steel front doors with recessed handle opens 180° to reveal notebook storage shelves. The cart also comes with rugged steel frame construction, steel front and rear doors, and molded fire-rated ABS exterior withstands heavy classroom use. The secure back compartment provides IT access to AC adapter storage and power strips. A Clean, neat cable management runs power to units.
Easy to use
The 24-302-085 cart uses four 4" (10 cm) medical-grades, dual-wheel locking casters that allow easy push and pull mobility. The cart's lightweight and compact design makes it easy to safely move from room to room.

The importance of safety certification for charging systems
All device charging systems are not created equal. There is a tendency to assume that all charging systems are safe, but this is not always true. It is important to choose products that are safety certified as complete and integrated systems. It is important to require this of your supplier to ensure the safety of your devices, your facilities and your students.
Some manufacturers use individual components that are safety certified, but then combine them into a larger charging system that is not certified. Charging systems that are not evaluated and certified may exceed allowable load limits, thereby causing electrical arcing, facility problems and/or interaction and interference with other equipment. Safety certification also ensures that mechanical hazards such as user ‘pinch points’, tipping, sharp edges and crush/cut potential are mitigated.
Why safety certification?
It is important to choose a charging solution that is safety certified as a ‘COMPLETE AND INTEGRATED PRODUCT,’ versus components that are individually certified and then pieced together and not certified as a whole system.
The Ergotron charging carts and wall mounts have redundant safety features, because the individual components and the entire integrated product is safety certified. It is important to require this of your charging solution supplier to ensure safety for your devices, your facilities and your students.
Certification ensures that the supplying circuit will not be overloaded and cause problems with the facility, interfere with other equipment or become a fire hazard. Mechanical hazards also are mitigated with certification.
