What types of smart lockers and charging solutions does LapSafe offer?
Updated
LapSafe offers six main product families: loaning lockers for self-service device loans, IT service desk lockers for device exchange and repair workflows, smart vending for peripherals and supplies, personal storage lockers, collection lockers for contactless deliveries, and storage and charging trolleys and cabinets. The right fit depends on whether you need to lend devices, support IT operations, distribute supplies, store personal items, handle deliveries, or simply charge and secure devices. LapSafe also advertises AI-powered smart lockers under the ONARKEN-AI® name.

Loaning lockers
These are self-service lockers for lending devices and other assets. Users borrow and return items without staff involvement, and the system supports 24/7 access. LapSafe positions them for colleges and universities that want to automate manual device loans, and for emergency services issuing devices to frontline workers. The locker dashboard shown on the site tracks loans, including loans in the past 30 days and the number of smart locker bays in use.
IT service desk lockers
These lockers streamline IT support by handling device exchange and repairs. Instead of a staffed counter, users drop off a device and collect a replacement through the locker system, with remote management behind it. This suits IT teams that want to reduce queue time and keep an audit trail of device movements.
Smart vending, personal storage and collection lockers
- Smart vending delivers peripherals and supplies on demand, useful when you want controlled self-service distribution rather than a staffed store.
- Personal storage provides flexible, secure lockers for individual users' belongings.
- Collection lockers simplify contactless deliveries and collections for post and package management.
Storage and charging trolleys and cabinets
For organisations that mainly need to store and charge devices rather than lend them, LapSafe offers lockers, trolleys and cabinets. Primary and secondary schools use these to help teachers and technicians manage classroom IT, keeping devices charged and secure between lessons.
AI smart lockers
LapSafe describes its ONARKEN-AI® range as AI-powered smart lockers. The site presents this as an emerging option alongside the standard locker families; evaluate it against your actual workflow needs rather than treating it as a default upgrade.
How to choose
Start with the task, not the hardware:

The site notes that the lockers integrate with IoT ecosystems and third-party tools for real-time monitoring, automated workflows and remote access, so check integration compatibility with your existing IT management systems before committing.
