Category FAQs
How does the mobile power workstation help reduce warehouse downtime and operational costs?
The MPW features a robust dual-battery power supply designed for continuous multi-shift operations. Each interchangeable power pack delivers up to 12 hours of continuous runtime when running a standard warehouse setup, such as an industrial label printer, a barcode scanner, and a laptop. Because the complete unit includes two hot-swappable batteries, you can charge one pack using the wall-mounted charging station while the other powers the trolley, enabling seamless 24/7 warehouse productivity.
What are the dimensions, and can this mobile workstation fit down narrow warehouse aisles?
The MPW is purpose-built for space optimisation in busy fulfilment hubs. Its compact base frame measures 625mm in length and 650mm in width, giving it a narrow aisle footprint that moves effortlessly through tight racking corridors. It stands at a base height of 1050mm and weighs 45kg when empty. The front braking swivel castors guarantee safe stability, allowing it to lock securely into place to function as a temporary static workstation wherever needed.
Is the height of the Southgate Mobile Powered Workstation adjustable for different users?
Yes. To support workplace ergonomics and operator safety, the complete unit features a built-in gas-strut height adjustment system. This allows staff members to instantly adjust the top working surface between 1045mm and 1185mm to suit their height.
Additionally, the trolley comes configured with four tiers (including a fixed base and adjustable setup shelves), allowing you to customise the equipment layout to minimise physical strain and repetitive bending during long shifts.
What industries use desiccants?
Moisture control is vital across many sectors, especially for packaging and logistics companies, food and pharmaceutical businesses, and electronics and automotive manufacturers. Because these industries have strict quality control standards, preventing items from getting damp or ruined during transit is a key part of their dispatch process.
What are the different types of desiccants?
There are three main options depending on your packaging setup. Silica gel is the most popular choice, offering high absorption for everyday items like retail electronics, food, and clothing.
Clay is a great medium-absorption alternative that is eco-friendly and works well in normal humidity.
For heavy-duty protection, calcium chloride is a high-performance option designed to absorb massive amounts of moisture, making it ideal for large industrial shipments and shipping containers.
