New 28 Bay Laptop Trolley

The success of the Lock&Dock El­e­men­tary 16 bay laptop trolley by Gilkon has been such that it has created the demand of a bigger brother, the 28 bay. As has happened through­out our history, need leads to in­no­va­tion. Such in­no­va­tion was central to the birth of the Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ing industry and remains a mainstay to its success today. What is in­ter­est­ing about the all-new 28 bay laptop trolley it’s an example of how the best Aus­tralian companies can benefit from Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ers applying ‘world’s best practice’ lean man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­niques. Lean man­u­fac­tur­ing is the next evolution in Just In Time (JIT) man­u­fac­tur­ing. With JIT man­u­fac­tur­ing, products are man­u­fac­tured to order, keeping stock levels to a minimum, reducing risk, whilst improving cash flow.

Lean man­u­fac­tur­ing goes to the next level. It allows companies to take products to market and respond to user ac­cep­tance, with product im­prove­ments, within rel­a­tive­ly short time­frames. This leads to product in­no­va­tions, not dreamt of in the design process. It also leads to higher user ac­cep­tance and better stock man­age­ment. The high user ac­cep­tance of the Lock&Dock El­e­men­tary 16 bay laptop trolley created a demand for a 28 bay unit, in a similar con­fig­u­ra­tion. This is an example how lean man­u­fac­tur­ing can also lead to product range ex­ten­sions.

The 28 bay employs the same elec­tri­cal safety and en­vi­ron­men­tal standards that put the entire Lock&Dock laptop trolley range in a class un­equalled by its imported com­peti­tors. The El­e­men­tary 28 bay laptop trolley in­cor­po­rates the Eco System V3.0., which provides students and staff with advanced elec­tri­cal shock pro­tec­tion from spills and dust, over charging and reverse EMF charges.

The 28 bay is also man­u­fac­tured in Australia to Aus­tralian en­vi­ron­men­tal standards, with the elec­tri­cal circuits in the patented Gilkon Eco System V3.0 RoHS compliant. All Lock&Dock units are finished using powder coatings, which are renowned for being en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly re­spon­si­ble and contain no harmful low VOCs. The all-new Lock&Dock El­e­men­tary 28 bay laptop trolley by Gilkon contains these and many more features, in one sur­pris­ing­ly compact and robust unit. So the next time you hear someone care­less­ly mention the demise of Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ing, use the all new Lock&Dock El­e­men­tary 28 bay laptop trolley to explain how there are still Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ers who are still setting the pace.
