- How does the Mentor™ Trolley differ from the ClassBuddy™ Trolley?
- The Mentor™ is our flagship range and provides the highest levels of security as well as intelligent charging of devices. It offers four types of charging; our unique patented SmartLine™with PowaSave™ (requires no AC adaptors), ChargeLine™, USB-C and USB2.0. The Mentor™ has a fully welded chassis, piano style hinges and anti-jemmy plates along the door edges which remove common points of weakness. Doors are reinforced and fitted with four-point locking and uses high security keys to access. Inside the trolley, it has a modular construction allowing you to mix n match devices. A truly sustainable storage and charging trolley built to withstand the test of time. The ClassBuddy™ range is designed to be cost effective with a smaller footprint than the Mentor™ range. It does not have quite as many security features and usings the devices own AC adaptors. Euro sockets are available in both ranges.
- What is the benefit of the Mentor™’s modular construction?
- The Mentor™ is probably one of the most sustainable trolleys available within the market today. Its modular construction allows devices to mix and matched. Each module holds five laptops or ten tablets, so a Mentor™ could hold up to 60 devices. Each module can be a different make and model. This means you can have up to six different devices in one trolley and when using SmartLine™ we do not need the devices own AC adaptors, they are free to be used by the users for extended use. The Mentor™ can be upgraded when your devices change so there is no need to invest in a new trolley. We still upgrade trolleys that were sold over twenty years ago!
- What warranty do you offer?
- The Mentor™ range comes with a Lifetime Warranty on all parts and labour.
- How do you manage the temperature whilst charging the devices?
- The Mentor™ trolley comes fitted with thermostatically controlled fans which are designed to turn on when the temperature starts to rise, once the temperature returns to a normal level the fans are turned off. If for any reason the temperature cannot be reduce the unit will automatically shut down to prevent overheating.
- What is SmartLine™/SmartLine™ USB-C charging?
- SmartLine™ in Mentor™ comes in three types. Low voltage tip, USB2.0 and USB-C. With SmartLine™ you no longer need your original AC adaptor; we provide a fully managed power system that takes power from a single mains socket and distributes it to your devices to the same specification as the OEM requires. We provide the electronics and power supplies for each module to specifically suit your devices. A number of safety systems are built in as standard, and with PowaSave® you can reduce your carbon footprint.
- Can you confirm if you have any electrical safety features for the ChargeLine™ option as the power sockets are situated at the front of the bays.
- As standard our soft-start protection, surge protection and residual voltage protection are all included, in addition to this, when the doors of the Mentor™ ChargeLine™ trolley are open, no power will pass to the sockets to ensure user protection.
