SiteCharge6 Power Tool Battery Charging Locker

The SiteCharge6 is a six-compartment charging locker designed to provide a dedicated location for storing and charging compatible portable power-tool batteries and chargers. Each compartment contains a UK 3-pin socket, allowing individual batteries or charging equipment to be kept behind a separate locked door while connected to a single mains supply.

On construction sites, in workshops and in maintenance environments, power-tool chargers can easily become spread across desks, cabins and work areas. A dedicated charging locker can help centralise the process, reduce loose charging equipment around the workplace and give individual users a defined compartment for their equipment.

Why Use a Tool Battery Charging Locker?

Where several contractors or employees need to recharge portable-tool batteries in the same location, unmanaged charging can create practical problems.

• Chargers can become scattered around site cabins or workshops.
• Charging leads can occupy desks, worktops and other shared areas.
• Users may have difficulty identifying their own battery or charger.
• Unsecured batteries can be moved or taken by another user.
• Several independent charging points can be harder to supervise.
• There may be no consistent location for charging equipment.

The SiteCharge6 creates one defined charging location with six separately secured compartments.

Six Individual Charging Compartments

Each SiteCharge6 cabinet contains six separately accessed compartments. Each compartment has its own UK 3-pin socket for connecting a compatible charger.

This allows several users to charge equipment from the same cabinet while keeping each user’s battery and charger within a separate compartment.

The complete bank of six compartments uses a single external power lead, reducing the need to position six separate cabinet power connections around the installation area.

Secure Tool Battery Storage While Charging

The individual doors provide controlled physical access to each charging compartment.

This can be useful where several contractors, maintenance staff or workshop users share the same charging area and want to keep their equipment separated while it is charging.

A charging locker does not remove the need to follow the battery and charger manufacturer’s instructions. Batteries and chargers should be suitable for the intended charging arrangement and inspected and used in accordance with the applicable workplace procedures.

Standard Locking Options

The SiteCharge6 is available with two straightforward standard locking arrangements.

• Swivel hasp lock: allows the compartment to be secured using a compatible padlock.
• Key-operated cam lock: provides conventional keyed access and is supplied with two keys per lock.

The better option depends on whether users are expected to provide or manage their own padlocks or whether the organisation wants to administer a keyed locking system.

Additional Locking Options

Alternative lock types can be available at additional cost, depending on the required specification.

• Mechanical combination locks.
• Electronic combination locks.
• Coin-return locks.

For a wider comparison of keys, hasps, mechanical combinations, electronic locks and other locker access methods, see our Locker Access Control Systems UK guide.

Residual-Current Device Option

A residual-current device option can be fitted to the unit at additional cost.

The suitability of the electrical supply, protective devices and installation arrangement should be considered as part of the site’s electrical requirements. The charging locker should not be treated as a substitute for appropriate electrical inspection, equipment maintenance or the charger manufacturer’s operating instructions.

Centralising Power Tool Battery Charging

One of the main benefits of a charging locker is organisational rather than simply electrical.

Instead of allowing chargers to be positioned wherever a spare socket can be found, the business can establish a designated charging location.

• One recognised place for charging equipment.
• Six individually secured compartments.
• Less need for chargers to occupy general work surfaces.
• Clearer separation between different users’ equipment.
• Easier housekeeping around the designated charging area.
• A more consistent process for managing charging equipment.

Power Tool Charging Lockers for Construction Sites

Construction sites can have several trades using cordless tools, each with their own batteries and chargers. Where these are all charged within a shared cabin, the number of chargers, cables and batteries can quickly become difficult to organise.

A compartment charging locker gives individual users or contractors a defined charging space rather than relying on unsecured communal surfaces.

Charging Lockers for Workshops and Maintenance Teams

The same principle can be useful in maintenance departments, engineering workshops, facilities teams and other workplaces that operate fleets of rechargeable hand tools.

Where batteries regularly need to be charged between shifts or jobs, a fixed charging location can make the process easier to organise and help keep batteries associated with the correct user or work group.

Using a Tool Battery Charging Locker

The charging cabinet provides the storage and electrical connection point, but the wider charging procedure still matters.

• Use the charger specified or approved for the battery being charged.
• Do not use visibly damaged batteries, chargers, plugs or leads.
• Follow the battery and charger manufacturer’s instructions.
• Keep charging equipment within its intended operating conditions.
• Do not exceed the electrical limits of the installation.
• Ensure the mains supply and any required protective devices are suitable.
• Keep the locker and ventilation arrangements clear in accordance with the product requirements.
• Include charging equipment within appropriate workplace inspection and maintenance procedures.

The appropriate charging procedure should be determined by the equipment being used and the requirements of the workplace.

Choosing a Tool Charging Locker

Before selecting a charging locker, establish how many users need simultaneous charging positions, the dimensions of the chargers and batteries, the required locking method and the electrical arrangements available at the installation location.

• Number of simultaneous charging positions required.
• Dimensions of batteries and chargers.
• Type of tools and charging equipment being used.
• Available electrical supply.
• Required locking method.
• Whether users need individual compartments.
• Location of the cabinet.
• Access for inspection and maintenance.

Do not assume that every battery or charger will suit every charging cabinet. Check the equipment dimensions, electrical requirements and manufacturer’s instructions before finalising the specification.
