When safety is crucial
S4FE
lockers
As a company, you get people coming over every day. Some come by car, others by bike. As a company, you naturally want to encourage green initiatives. Unfortunately, that does come with various safety risks, including risks you wouldn’t immediately think of! Want to keep everyone in your building safe? Then our S4FE lockers are the solution for you.
Prevent
Battery fires and theft
S4FE locker
What is it?
People are increasingly travelling by e-bikes and other electric vehicles. When they charge their battery in your business premises, it brings an increased risk of fire. In our S4FE lockers, people can safely charge their batteries. Does a fire break out anyway? Then S4FE will stop it for at least 60 minutes. Meanwhile, the fire brigade is automatically called.
The S4FE® lockers are certified under KIWA 21045 – SCP05 certification. The detection and control components are certified according to EN54-7 en EN12094-1 standards. The extinguishing components are certified under K23001.
This set-up created an equivalence to a fire resistance for fire penetration and flashover to a minimum of 60 minutes for the batteries tested. This is not applicable for smoke resistance. This does not apply to smoke resistance.
Extra thick walls and
Secure locks
In addition, our S4FE lockers also have some other features that increase security. For example, the doors and walls of the lockers are extra thick and the lock is extra strong. Moreover, it is always recorded who opens which locker and when. So you always know who last used which locker.
a S4FE locker
why choose it
Thanks to S4FE lockers, you can comply with your fire insurance safety regulations. Charging e-bike and other batteries in your building without precaution isn’t permitted. S4FE lockers can be placed indoors or outdoors (without a canopy!).
Each individual compartment can charge and securely store a heavy e-bike or e-scooter battery. Contact us for technical details!
Certified
Uniquely in the world
A lithium battery that ignites cannot be extinguished with a standard fire extinguisher. S4FE cabinets are equipped with a fire suppression system that buys time for the fire department to arrive promptly. When a significant number of batteries are stored and charged together, especially indoors, additional precautions are essential. Safeguard your building and people from fire. Choose S4FE, choose safety.
