Choosing the Right Charging Solution for Your School

As digital learning becomes more common, schools face a practical challenge: how to keep laptops and tablets safe, charged, and ready to use. Teachers want lessons to run smoothly, while school leaders need to protect investments and stretch budgets.

At LapSafe®, we’ve spent over 25 years helping schools do just that. Two of our most popular options for schools are charging trolleys and the Envoy™ smart locker. Both provide secure storage and reliable charging, but they are suited to different situations.

Charging Trolleys – Simple and Flexible

Our ChargeLite™ and Mentor™ ranges remain a favourite choice for primary and secondary schools. They’re cost-effective, easy to move between classrooms, and perfect when devices are shared across lessons.

Best for:

• Schools that share one set of devices
• Smaller schools without dedicated IT teams
• Moving devices around during the day

Key benefits:

• All devices charge at once – every laptop or tablet is ready for use
• Various Charging Options – To suit your needs – From AC Adaptors to USB-C, to intelligent charging options.
• Secure compartments – tamper-proof storage for peace of mind
• Portable – simply wheel the trolley to where it’s needed

For many schools, a trolley is the simplest way to make sure devices are always available without adding extra work for staff.

Envoy™ Smart Lockers – An Entry Level into Smart Lockers

For schools looking for greater control, the Envoy™ offers the same simple storage and safe charging but adds useful features to save time and reduce losses.

Best for:

• Pupils borrowing devices from the centralised location, such as libraries, resource centres, and corridors.
• Schools with high demand for shared devices
• Reducing the need for staff to manage handouts

Key benefits:

• Self-service access – pupils borrow or return devices independently
• Easy to Use – fast deployment for tablets, Chromebooks and small laptops.
• Audit trails – clear records of who borrowed which device and when
• Scalable – start with a few lockers and expand later

Envoy™ helps schools keep devices circulating efficiently and gives pupils quick access without adding pressure to staff. With ONARKEN® software, you get full visibility of usage and trends, helping you plan, purchase, and invest more effectively

Which is Right for You?

If you need a straightforward, low-cost way to share devices, a trolley is the best choice. If you want pupils to borrow devices independently and keep track of their use, Envoy™ is the next step.

At LapSafe®, our mission is simple: to make teaching easier and digital learning more effective.
