Mobility Scooter Charging Lockers
metroSTOR PSL
metroSTOR’s PSL Mobility Scooter Storage & Charging Locker provides class 1 and 2 mobility scooter and electric wheelchair users with a low profile, secure and easy to use facility ideally suited to property frontage locations.
Locker door access incorporates the Locinox 40 system with a number of access control options available and the roof locking system automatically releases once the access door is opened. Designed for ease of operation, the powered roof control switch is located internally to the locker, along with the battery charging panel and motion sensing LED lighting.
The metroSTOR PSL site-assembled panel system makes installation in difficult to access areas straightforward and the unit power requirements run from an outdoor RCD protected wall socket, reducing site set up costs and enabling future relocation as required.
Mobility scooters inside buildings can represent a serious fire risk. They are a potential source of ignition, they are highly combustible and if they are parked in hallways, they can be obstructing fire escapes. Many social landlords have banned scooters from being stored or charged inside residents’ flats or communal spaces to address fire risk assessment actions.
The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) have developed statutory guidance to reduce fire risk associated with mobility scooter battery charging and storage. The recommendation is that if a fire-resistant storage area cannot be created within a building, then secure storage with provision for charging should be provided at least six metres from dwellings.
Installing metroSTOR PSL mobility scooter charging units provides an external storage solution to address this guidance provided the six metre distance from dwellings can be achieved.
