Trolley for the lab

Trolley for the lab

The most common problem in a collaborative workspace is the loss of shared tools and components, often due to users' reluctance to organize and tidy up. To address this issue, we have designed a portable trolley with built-in toolboxes, cable reels, and power strips, ensuring that users can immediately organize their tools.

Based on our experiences, we concluded that the annoyingness of the students is due to the distance between the work space and tool storage

Built-in Outlet : 

By incorporating a multi-outlet extension, we eliminate location constraints when using power tools that require a socket, and enable immediate storage of the product after use
