45 Because of this, Martin Astley and Rowan Sorrell, founders and CEOs of the Bike Park Wales, decided to purchase an ION-LINE safety storage cabinet from asecos. “After the cabinet was recommended to us and we had thoroughly researched the issue, we found that the asecos brand is the market leader for safe storage and charging solutions for lithium-ion batteries. We are highly satisfied with the cabinet, and it meets our requirements completely” Martin Astley says. Continuous safety For the Bike Park Wales, the safety of employees and visitors is a top priority. Because of this, the safety storage cabinets undergo regular prescribed maintenance. This ensures that the ION-LINE safety storage cabinets can always guarantee safe storage for lithium-ion batteries. ION-LINE safety storage cabinets are fire protection technology, and are therefore considered safety technology systems. According to Section 4 (3) of the Occupational Protection Act in Germany, these must undergo regular and proper maintenance by an authorised person, as well as functional tests. This is highly important, as improper or missed maintenance to the cabinets can have negative consequences: in case of damage, the operator will not only lose insurance protection, but will also incur enormous, devastating costs due to shutdowns or even the closure of their business. The cabinets are inspected for damage or defects during maintenance, and repaired if needed. Furthermore, the cabinets must be cleaned regularly to prevent deposits of dust and dirt inside, which can increase the risk of fires. The inspection of the extraction system is another important part of maintenance, as this system ensures waste heat is dissipated from the cabinet during the charging process. The cabinet at the Bike Park Wales has been in operation for three years, meaning that a specially trained asecos service technician has conducted on-site maintenance twice. These inspections ensure the optimal function and safety of asecos’ ION-LINE safety storage cabinet, and ensure that the Bike Park Wales can continue to offer its guests and employees a safe environment. “After the cabinet was recommended to us...” Project summary Company: Beic Parcio Cymru Ltd.
