The Ergotron YES40 Tablet Charging Cart (MPN YES40-TAB-1) is a mobile storage and charging solution designed to organize, secure, and charge tablets, smartphones, e-readers, and other compatible small devices. With capacity for up to 40 devices in its narrow-slot configuration, it is well suited to educational environments, training rooms, offices, and other shared-device settings.
The cart combines adjustable storage bays with Ergotron PowerShuttle technology to help manage device charging efficiently. Its lockable doors and dedicated IT compartment help protect devices, cables, and power adapters, while the wheeled base makes it easier to move equipment between rooms.
Key Features
- Capacity for up to 40 devices: Stores compatible tablets, smartphones, and e-readers, with a lower capacity available when wider storage bays are configured.
- PowerShuttle charging technology: Helps distribute charging power across connected devices while managing electrical load.
- Configurable interior: Adjustable shelf heights and removable bay dividers accommodate different device sizes and orientations.
- Secure storage: A keyed, two-point locking system helps protect stored equipment, with provision for an additional padlock.
- Mobile design: Heavy-duty 4-inch casters, including directional-lock and total-lock wheels, support maneuverability and stability when parked.
Flexible Storage for Shared Devices
The YES40 interior can be configured to suit different device dimensions. Removable dividers allow the bay widths to be adjusted, while shelves can be repositioned in approximately ⅔-inch (1.6 cm) increments. Devices can be stored in portrait or landscape orientation when their dimensions and the selected bay configuration permit.
In the standard 40-device configuration, the slots accommodate devices with a typical screen size of up to 10 inches. Actual compatibility depends on the device's complete dimensions, including any protective case and connected charging cable.
PowerShuttle Charging Management
PowerShuttle technology helps manage power distribution while multiple devices are connected for charging. The cart provides internal power outlets and a dedicated rear compartment for organizing power adapters and cables. Its external power receptacles provide convenient access to power where supported by the installation.
The YES40-TAB-1 is a North American model designed for a 120 V, 60 Hz electrical supply. Confirm the local electrical supply and plug compatibility before use.
Security and Mobility
Lockable doors and a two-point locking mechanism help protect stored devices from unauthorized access. Additional padlock brackets provide another security option. The rear IT compartment keeps charging equipment and cable connections organized behind a locking panel.
Four 4-inch (10 cm) casters support movement through classrooms, offices, and training spaces. Two directional-lock casters assist steering, while two total-lock casters help keep the cart stationary when required.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, measure the complete device dimensions, including cases and charging cables. The cart accommodates up to 40 devices with narrow bays, or up to 32 devices when wider bays are configured. This model uses a 120 V, 60 Hz power system, so electrical compatibility should be confirmed before installation.
