Charged for Success
Research + Development
We are constantly striving to make our products more appealing to our customers, whether it be functionality, aesthetics, durability, weight or cost-effectiveness. We are always open to customer feedback about our products and that is where most of our R&D route map stems. We are not interested in change for change sake, our goal is to develop products that offer the best solution to our customers.
Recent developments include:
Re-design Basket Solution
We were asked some years ago to supply our products with an integral basket to hold four devices. We set about producing a basket with the manufacturing processes available to us at the house but, as volumes increased it became clear that the fabricated basket design could be improved to make the production process much more streamlined. This required an investment in tooling for injection moulding and extrusion. The finished product is much improved in all respects and encapsulates the design process that we are striving for.

Corner Wheel
We have also recently commissioned the design of a larger more robust corner wheel and again this is as a result of customer feedback asking for a wheel that was suitable for use over rough ground.
Trolley System
Our customers have been asking for some time for a trolley system to transport multiple USB chargeable devices. Our aim is to provide a configurable product that will allow our customers to choose what they want, in brief our design consists of three roller shutter door units with an internal 19” frame, the smallest will hold one 16 port rack charge and sync hub with dividers to support the devices, the mid size unit will hold two 16 port hubs and the largest will hold three 16 port hubs allowing 48 devices to be simultaneously charged and sync’d. This is a major project that will be completed, mid 2020.
