Product Overview

About your new EVER Cart with MiX Module System

EVER Cart™ has the unique ability to be updated rather than replaced like traditional charging carts and a
single EVER Cart can support USB and AC powered devices instead of having multiple carts to charge tablets
and laptops separately.

Front

1. Double-Hinge Doors - Unique 270 hinges allow the front doors to fold back against the cabinet, and

out of the way.

2. Directional Locking Casters - Maximum control, while ensuring easy mobility through your facility with

directional locking casters.

3. Power Cord - Power all your devices from one 15 A circuit. When not in use, power cord wraps around

cord minder for easy transport.

4. Power Switch - Power switch, located in the Power Cord Shroud.

5. Door Lock Shroud - Inset design protects the padlock and handle during transport.

6. Durable Top - The durable top provides a soft, skid-resistant platform for objects weighing a combined

25 lbs. or less.

7. Cord-Pass Thru - Allows devices to be powered on top of the cart, while their power cords are plugged

inside the cart.

EVER Cart - User Guide 3 of 23

MiX Module

Unlike any other carts, carts with the MiX Module System offer longevity. As devices become obsolete, there’s
no need to replace the cart. Simply swap out a MiX Module to support the latest devices.

1. Slot Numbering Bar - The slot numbering bar allows for device organization and management.

2. Adjustable Slots - Adjust from 1 to 1.25 to 1.5 inches, increasing and decreasing shelf capacity from

15 devices to 10 devices.

3. Hanging Dividers - Hanging shelves allow for easy reconfiguration, and support learning devices from

the top.
