A charging cabinet (also called a device charging cabinet or tablet charging cabinet) is a lockable storage cabinet designed to charge, organize, and securely store multiple electronic devices at the same time.

Each device is placed in its own compartment and connected to a built-in charging port or power outlet inside the cabinet. This allows devices to be charged simultaneously while remaining protected and neatly organized.

Charging cabinets are commonly used for devices such as:

• Tablets
• Chromebooks
• Notebooks
• Smartphones
• Other USB-C–enabled devices
  

Charging cabinets are widely used in environments where many devices need to be managed centrally, including:

• Schools and classrooms
• Restaurants and hospitality venues
• Hotels and guest areas
• Libraries and universities
• Offices and businesses
• Airports, train stations and car rentals
• Other public or shared spaces
  

They provide a safe and centralized solution for charging, storing, and protecting devices from theft, damage, or loss.

A charging cabinet is designed to charge and store multiple mobile devices at the same time in a secure and organized way.

Inside the cabinet, several built-in charging ports or power outlets allow devices to be connected and charged simultaneously. Each device is placed in an individual compartment and connected using a charging cable inside the cabinet.

Manhattan charging cabinets also include additional features such as:

• integrated cable management
• ventilation to prevent overheating
• lockable doors for secure storage
• LED indicators for charging status
• other practical features for device organization
  

This allows multiple devices to be charged, organized, and stored safely in one central location, making charging cabinets ideal for environments such as schools, offices, hospitality venues, and other shared spaces.

A charging cabinet is a stationary device-charging solution designed to store and charge multiple devices in a fixed location. It is typically installed in one place, such as on a wall, on the floor, or on a desk.

A charging cart, on the other hand, is a mobile charging solution equipped with casters. This allows it to be easily moved between different rooms or locations.

Charging carts are commonly used in environments where devices need to be transported, for example:

• between classrooms in schools
• between meeting rooms in offices
• between different areas in training facilities or conference centers
  

In summary, charging cabinets are stationary, while charging carts are designed for mobility and flexible device management.

Manhattan charging cabinets are available in different sizes and configurations to support a wide range of devices and environments.

Current models include:

• charging cabinets for 10 devices
• charging cabinets for 20 devices
• larger models for 32 devices
  

Starting in summer 2026, Manhattan Products will expand the portfolio with 10 new charging cabinet models designed especially for public and shared environments such as schools and classrooms, hospitality and restaurants, airports, fitness centers, shopping malls, offices and businesses.

The different models vary in several key features, including:

• device capacity
• compartment size
• charging power
• locking mechanism
• mounting options
  

This allows organizations to choose the charging cabinet that best fits their device type, number of users, and installation environment.

Devices stored in a lockable charging cabinet are well protected against unauthorized access and theft. Depending on the model, Manhattan charging cabinets are equipped with either key locks or combination locks, allowing devices to be securely stored while charging.

This ensures that smartphones, tablets, Chromebooks, and laptops remain safely protected in shared environments such as schools, offices, or public spaces.

In addition, our charging cabinets include several built-in protection mechanisms to safeguard connected devices, including:

• overcharge protection
• surge protection
• short-circuit protection
• protection against voltage spikes
  

Starting in summer 2026, new Manhattan charging cabinet models will also be available with individual lockable compartments controlled via a touchscreen interface. Each compartment can be secured using a custom PIN code, providing an additional level of security for shared or public environments.
