Mentor™ Trolleys Vs ChargeLite™ Trolleys!

Which LapSafe® Charging Trolley is Right for You?

Choosing the right storage and charging solution can make a significant difference to how efficiently your devices are managed, secured, and charged. At LapSafe®, two of our most popular charging trolley ranges are the Mentor™ and ChargeLite™.

While both provide secure storage and reliable charging, they are designed to meet different organisational needs and budgets. In this guide, we'll explore the key differences between the two ranges to help you find the right solution for your environment.

The Mentor™ Trolley

The Mentor™ Trolley is our flagship storage and charging solution, offering industry-leading security, intelligent charging technology, and exceptional longevity. Designed for organisations that require the highest levels of performance and protection, Mentor™ sets the benchmark for device management.

Advanced Charging Capabilities

SmartLine™ with PowaSave™

LapSafe® is the only manufacturer to provide true Smart Charging, thanks to our proprietary SmartLine™ technology. Unlike traditional charging trolleys that rely on device AC adaptors plugged into standard sockets, SmartLine™ manages power directly from the mains supply to the charging tip.

This innovative system:

• Delivers power intelligently and safely
• Eliminates the need for bulky AC adaptors
• Provides front-access charging cables for easier device connection
• Charges all compatible devices simultaneously at the fastest possible rate
• Utilises low-voltage charging for enhanced safety

SmartLine™ charging cables are tailored to specific device makes and models, ensuring optimum performance. Every device is tested by our engineers to guarantee compatibility.

Combined with PowaSave™ technology, power supplies automatically switch off when charging is complete, helping to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

ChargeLine™

ChargeLine™ uses the device's own AC adaptor, positioned conveniently at the front of each charging bay for quick connectivity. Power is automatically disconnected when the trolley door is opened, enhancing user safety.

SmartLine™ USB-C

Each charging bay can be fitted with a USB-C charging lead delivering up to 65W per port. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of USB-C devices, including laptops, tablets, and Chromebooks.

SmartLine™ USB 2.0

Our USB charging system enables full-rate charging at 5V 2.1A, allowing users to connect their own USB cable directly into conveniently positioned USB sockets.

Built-In Protection

All Mentor™ trolleys include:

• Surge protection
• In-rush current protection
• Residual voltage protection

Temperature Management

A combination of strategically positioned ventilation and thermostatically controlled fans helps maintain optimum operating temperatures, protecting devices and extending their lifespan.

Unmatched Security

Security is at the heart of the Mentor™ range.

Key features include:

• Fully welded steel chassis
• Reinforced piano-style hinges
• Anti-jemmy plates
• Four-point locking system
• High-security keys
• Durable textured powder-coated finish

Together, these features provide outstanding protection against unauthorised access and daily wear and tear.

Modular and Sustainable Design

Mentor™ has been designed to evolve with your technology.

Benefits include:

• Configurable device layouts
• Easy upgrades when your devices change
• Long service life, with many units still operational after more than 20 years
• Excellent long-term return on investment

Easy Manoeuvrability

High-quality 360° castors and rounded corners ensure safe and effortless movement throughout your organisation.

The ChargeLite™ Trolley

For organisations looking for a practical, cost-effective charging solution, the ChargeLite™ Trolley provides dependable performance, robust security, and a compact footprint.

Efficient Charging for Modern Devices

ChargeLite™ uses the device's own AC adaptor, which is securely housed within the service compartment. Low-voltage charging cables are routed to the front of each bay for easy access.

Standard units are supplied with UK Type G 13A sockets, with international socket configurations available on request.

NEW: USB-C Power Delivery Available Across the ChargeLite™ Range

To support today's growing range of USB-C devices, USB-C Power Delivery is now available across the ChargeLite™ Trolley, Desk and Locker ranges.

This future-ready charging solution delivers rapid, efficient charging for a wide variety of compatible devices, including:

• Laptops
• Chromebooks
• Tablets
• Mobile devices

By adopting USB-C Power Delivery, organisations can simplify charging infrastructure while ensuring compatibility with current and future devices.

LED Repeater for Charge Status

A fitted LED repeater clearly displays the charging status of every connected device from outside the unit.

This allows users to quickly identify:

• Fully charged devices
• Devices still charging
• Overall charging activity

Making device management simpler and more efficient.

LED Indicator Charging Cables

Each USB-C charging cable is equipped with an integrated LED charging indicator, providing instant visual confirmation of the charging state at the point of connection.

Users can determine charging progress at a glance without opening compartments or checking device screens.

Protection Systems

Like the Mentor™ range, ChargeLite™ includes:

• Surge protection
• In-rush current protection
• Residual voltage protection

Ensuring safe and reliable operation at all times.

Temperature Control

Ventilation throughout the unit promotes continuous airflow, helping maintain safe device temperatures during charging.

Reliable Security

While designed as a more economical solution, ChargeLite™ still incorporates robust security features, including:

• Anti-jemmy protection
• Three-point locking system
• Separate front and rear access keys
• Full steel construction

This makes ChargeLite™ ideal for schools, colleges, healthcare settings, and workplaces requiring dependable device security without the premium specification of Mentor™.

Compact, Durable Design

ChargeLite™ trolleys are manufactured from steel and finished in a durable antimicrobial powder coating.

Additional features include:

• Rounded corners for improved safety
• Recessed handles
• High-quality 360° castors
• Two lockable braking castors for stability

The result is a trolley that's easy to move, easy to maintain, and built to withstand daily use.
