Group of 12 Armorgard employees at the Executive Hire Show showcasing their product VoltHub used to charge lithium-ion batteries

Buzzin’ at EHS 2024!

  • Corporate Events, Featured

Last week, the Armorgard team headed to the heart of hire at the Executive Hire Show once again for another fantastic year. Stand F31 was buzzing, with all eyes on the star of the show, VoltHub, a world first solution to charging lithium-ion batteries safely.

As our biggest innovation to date, it was great to showcase how VoltHub not only proactively keeps fire risks at bay, but also dramatically reduces the consequences of a battery fire breakout, which is becoming the UK’s number 1 fastest growing fire risk.

We brought along some site storage favourites which are perfect for hire, as well as our popular range of manual handling products which feature the brand new SafeStop deadman braking system, designed to put user safety first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Qpod, like all of Armorgard’s battery charging range, has undergone rigorous real-world testing. Our expert R&D team repeatedly tests Qpod with varying batteries, fire speeds and temperatures. Qpod has been shown to contain fires over the recommended 1.5kWh, with developments being made in real time.

The Qpod has been built to UL standards, and has a unique sealed unit system that completely contains fire and explosion. The double-walled ventilation system works to both expel gases and contain flames that can often reignite the toxic gases in the atmosphere. Unlike standard battery charging cabinets which are often only class A fire rated, it is specifically designed to reduce the risks associated with lithium-ion battery charging while remaining portable and easy to deploy.

Absolutely. Its lightweight and portable design allow it to be moved between desks, offices, or storage areas with ease, making it a flexible solution for dynamic workspaces.
