Fire Suppression Lockers for Lithium-Ion Safety

What Are Fire Suppression Lockers?

As the use of lithium-ion batteries continues to rise in workplaces, so does the risk of fire — especially during charging. From power tools and two-way radios to drones and scanners, modern facilities depend on rechargeable devices daily. This is where fire suppression lockers come in…

Fire lockers are designed to safely store and charge batteries while offering built-in protection against overheating or fire. They’re ideal for organisations that can’t afford downtime, damage, or health risks caused by battery fires.

If you’re currently using standard charging units, upgrading to a fire suppression system ensures next-level safety and compliance.

Why Lithium-Ion Batteries Need Extra Protection

Lithium-ion batteries can enter a state known as thermal runaway if they’re damaged, overcharged, or exposed to high heat. This reaction can cause rapid temperature spikes, smoke, and even explosions.

In high-risk environments like emergency services, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and education facilities, one small incident can have serious consequences.

Fire suppression lockers contain and neutralise fires before they spread, giving your team and your equipment maximum protection.

How Fire Suppression Lockers Work

Lockertek’s fire charging lockers use advanced AF-X aerosol technology, a proven waterless fire-suppression system that activates instantly when heat or smoke is detected.

Here’s how the system keeps your equipment safe:

• Early Detection: Identifies signs of overheating or combustion.
• Rapid Suppression: Releases AF-X aerosol to extinguish fires in seconds.
• Minimal Damage: Protects your assets and surroundings without using water or foam.
• Independent Charging Bays: Each compartment is isolated to prevent spread between batteries.

Our system is the first of its kind in the UK — offering complete confidence when charging or storing sensitive devices.

Key Benefits of Fire Suppression Lockers

• Safe Battery Charging for lithium-ion powered tools and devices.
• Built-In Detection and Suppression for instant response.
• Waterless AF-X Technology reduces damage and clean-up.
• Fully Enclosed Compartments for secure and controlled charging.

When integrated into your facility, fire lockers help ensure compliance with health and safety standards while protecting your people and assets.

Fire suppression lockers are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries, including:

• Emergency Services: Charging radios, torches, and body cameras.
• Manufacturing: Safe storage for cordless tools and equipment.
