Product Overview: 48-Tray Open-Access Maple Sorting Array

Equip your busiest educational zones with a storage solution that actively supports a fast-paced workflow. This 1468mm tall maple hub completely removes barriers to access, allowing dozens of students or staff members to locate, grab, and return their designated materials instantly.

The Cobolt Advantage

  • Unobstructed Workflow: Designed entirely without doors, this open-fronted unit encourages student autonomy and drastically cuts down transition times between lessons by keeping all 48 trays immediately accessible.
  • Exceptional Volumetric Grid: Spanning four columns and twelve rows, the massive tray matrix provides an individual compartment for every student in a large class, or allows a department to catalogue countless smaller components systematically.
  • Structural Fortitude: Despite its open design, the 91kg framework is engineered from dense 18mm MFC, ensuring the shelves and outer carcass remain completely rigid under the collective weight of 48 fully loaded trays.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Dynamic Visual Coordination: Take advantage of 23 tray colourways to map out a highly intuitive visual sorting system, grouping rows or columns by subject, day of the week, or student group.
  • Welsh Craftsmanship & Ecology: Manufactured in Chirk from 85% recycled timber. We enforce a rigid environmental policy that ensures five new saplings are planted for every tree harvested.
  • A Circular Lifespan: Built to align with forward-thinking procurement strategies, the entire wooden carcass and all 48 plastic trays are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Frictionless Procurement: We proudly offer Free Mainland UK Delivery on every order. You will never encounter unexpected haulage invoices or hidden freight fees at checkout.
  • Half a Century of Insight: We draw upon 50 years of commercial furniture expertise to produce robust assets that genuinely endure the relentless demands of the British education system.
  • Dedicated B2B Management: From single-room upgrades to multi-floor fit-outs, our UK-based account managers are available to streamline your logistics.

Ideal Environments for the 48-Tray Maple Array

Because of its light-enhancing maple finish, this massive unit avoids overwhelming a room visually. It is perfectly suited for Open-Plan Primary Zones where multiple classes share resources, bustling Art & Design Studios requiring granular supply separation, and high-traffic Staff Rooms operating as a central pigeonhole or internal mail matrix.

Key Features

  • 48 Individual Shallow Compartments — Housed within a 4x12 grid, these 76mm deep bins are the educational standard for keeping A4 paper and workbooks flat and pristine.
  • Doorless Accessibility — Removes all physical barriers to resources, speeding up the distribution and collection of classroom materials.
  • Illuminating Maple Veneer — A contemporary, light-reflecting woodgrain that makes large pieces of furniture feel far less imposing in smaller classrooms.
  • 2mm ABS Perimeter Defence — A tough plastic rim applied to the exposed edges to stop accidental bumps from causing permanent splintering or cosmetic damage.
  • 1468mm Command Height — Exploits vertical space to deliver massive capacity while remaining at a highly functional, accessible level for younger pupils.
  • 23 Bespoke Tray Tints — Inject vibrant primary colours into the learning space, or maintain a sleek, uniform look with translucent pastel shades.
  • Hygienic Melamine Seal — The non-porous exterior actively resists ink and glue, allowing site staff to execute rapid daily wipe-downs.
  • Zero-Hassle Integration — Bypasses flat-pack frustration entirely; the unit is delivered 100% pre-assembled and ready for immediate deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are all 48 trays included with the unit?

A: Yes. This product is a complete package. The listed price encompasses the heavy-duty maple framework, the runners, and all 48 shallow trays in your preferred colour.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the trays?

A: Each tray measures 312mm (W) x 425mm (D) x 76mm (H). This is the classic single-depth standard, precisely proportioned to hold A4 worksheets flat without curling the edges.

Q: Is this unit fitted with doors?

A: No, this is an open-access unit. It is deliberately designed without doors to provide instant, frictionless access to resources for a large number of students simultaneously.

Q: Why choose the Maple finish for such a large unit?

A: Maple offers a bright, highly contemporary aesthetic. Because this is a very large piece of furniture (1030mm wide), the light-reflecting maple woodgrain prevents it from looking heavy or imposing in the classroom.

Q: Will our caretaking staff have to spend hours assembling this?

A: Not at all. We save your school time and hassle by delivering this 1468mm cabinet 100% fully assembled. It is ready for immediate deployment.

Q: Are the materials used in this storage matrix sustainable?

A: Incredibly sustainable. The boards are sourced via FSC-certified partners, consist of 85% recycled timber, and five new trees are planted for every one utilised.

Q: Can I arrange for this to be delivered to a residential address?

A: We are afraid not. Due to the severe 91kg weight and the commercial-grade freight vehicles required, we are strictly limited to delivering to schools, NHS sites, or registered businesses.

Q: What components are protected by the 5-year warranty?

A: The 5-year commercial guarantee comprehensively covers your school against structural failures in the wooden carcass, edge peeling, and manufacturing faults in the tray runner system.

Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are all 48 trays included with the unit?

A: Yes. This product is a complete package. The listed price encompasses the heavy-duty maple framework, the runners, and all 48 shallow trays in your preferred colour.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the trays?

A: Each tray measures 312mm (W) x 425mm (D) x 76mm (H). This is the classic single-depth standard, precisely proportioned to hold A4 worksheets flat without curling the edges.

Q: Is this unit fitted with doors?

A: No, this is an open-access unit. It is deliberately designed without doors to provide instant, frictionless access to resources for a large number of students simultaneously.

Q: Why choose the Maple finish for such a large unit?

A: Maple offers a bright, highly contemporary aesthetic. Because this is a very large piece of furniture (1030mm wide), the light-reflecting maple woodgrain prevents it from looking heavy or imposing in the classroom.

Q: Will our caretaking staff have to spend hours assembling this?

A: Not at all. We save your school time and hassle by delivering this 1468mm cabinet 100% fully assembled. It is ready for immediate deployment.

Q: Are the materials used in this storage matrix sustainable?

A: Incredibly sustainable. The boards are sourced via FSC-certified partners, consist of 85% recycled timber, and five new trees are planted for every one utilised.

Q: Can I arrange for this to be delivered to a residential address?

A: We are afraid not. Due to the severe 91kg weight and the commercial-grade freight vehicles required, we are strictly limited to delivering to schools, NHS sites, or registered businesses.

Q: What components are protected by the 5-year warranty?

A: The 5-year commercial guarantee comprehensively covers your school against structural failures in the wooden carcass, edge peeling, and manufacturing faults in the tray runner system.
