The Cobolt Advantage

  • Accessible Design: The triple-column, low-level footprint keeps a vast amount of daily supplies perfectly organised and within arm's reach of early years and primary students.
  • Fluid Mobility: Equipped with robust castor wheels, teaching staff can effortlessly roll this substantial 42kg unit between workstations, breakout zones, or storage cupboards as lesson plans change.

Organisation & Sustainability

  • Visual Sorting & Colour-Coding: With 23 vibrant tray colours to choose from, staff can effortlessly colour-code 18 separate compartments by subject, pupil, or table group to streamline daily routines.
  • Exceptional Eco-Credentials: Manufactured in Wales using 85% recycled timber, this sustainable storage unit supports your school's green targets. For every tree felled, five new trees are planted.
  • End-of-Life Recycling: Designed with the circular economy in mind, 100% of this tray storage unit can be fully recycled once it finally reaches the end of its functional classroom life.

Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the 18 trays included in the price?

A: Yes. This unit is supplied complete with 18 shallow trays in your chosen colour, ensuring it is ready for immediate deployment in your classroom.

Q: What fits inside a shallow storage tray?

A: Shallow trays measure 76mm in height, making them the ideal depth for storing A4 exercise books, individual pupil stationery, flat art paper, and daily worksheets.

Q: Will this heavy unit require assembly by our site manager?

A: No. We understand that assembling 18-tray units is incredibly time-consuming. This unit is delivered 100% fully assembled, and the delivery team will remove and recycle the packaging for you.

Q: Is the wood sustainably sourced?

A: Absolutely. The 18mm MFC is manufactured in Wales using 85% recycled timber. It is fully FSC certified, and our manufacturing partners plant five new trees for every one tree felled.

Q: Is this unit low enough for early years or nursery students?

A: Yes. Despite its large capacity, the overall height is just 617mm. This early years tray storage unit is at the perfect level for young children to safely access their own materials.

Q: Will the castors work safely on classroom carpets?

A: Yes. The premium castor wheels are engineered to smoothly support the unit's 42kg weight (plus the contents of 18 trays) across both hard hall floors and standard classroom carpets.

Q: Can this item be delivered to a home address for a childminding business?

A: Unfortunately, no. Because these are heavy-duty, commercial-grade items delivered via specialist freight, they cannot be delivered to a residential address. We only ship to educational, NHS, and commercial premises.

Q: What is covered by the 5-year warranty?

A: The 5-year guarantee covers any structural manufacturing defects in the wooden carcass and the castor wheels, providing your school with long-term purchasing confidence.
