Harbor Cart and Dry Dock from Spectrum Industries

The Harbor Cart and Dry Dock from Spectrum Industries provide solutions for laptop storage and recharging in the classroom. The Harbor Cart is capable of storing up to 32 laptop computers. The cart can be outfitted with up to four optional recharging storage modules. Each module is slide-mounted, holds eight laptops and an eight-outlet power strip. Optional steel handles and the concave shape allow the cart to glide through halls and doorways without a problem. The hull and doorways are ventilated for high-flow convection cooling. The standard cart comes with 4" locking high-capacity casters, a six-outlet power strip and a four-circuit charging control. Optional 20' retractable cord reel and 5" balloon wheels are also available.

The Dry Dock is a stationary laptop storage locker that features key and/or combination lock and convection cooling. Each unit contains one storage-recharging module and an eight-outlet power strip. The modules are interchangeable with that of Harbor Carts and can be stacked up to three high. For security and stability, the units must be bolted together, then to the floor or wall. The Dry Dock is constructed of 16-gauge steel and finished with a scratch-resistant powder coat. Spectrum Industries Inc., Chippewa Falls, WI, (800) 235-1262, www.spectrumfurniture.com.
