We pioneered powered carts and never stopped rolling.

A mobile, battery-powered workstation cart is a self-contained work platform on wheels that brings computing equipment, tools, and power directly to wherever work happens — on the warehouse floor, production line, receiving dock, or anywhere else workers need it.

Unlike fixed desks or stationary computer stations, a powered mobile workstation eliminates the need for workers to walk back and forth to centralized terminals, reducing wasted motion and keeping employees productive at the point of task.

In 2005, Newcastle Systems pioneered the industrial mobile powered workstation category in the USA and offers a full lineup of solutions — from compact carts for barcode scanning and label printing to heavy-duty supervisor stations, and laser printing stations, — all running on rechargeable onboard batteries or swappable battery systems that power equipment throughout an entire shift.

Newcastle Systems mobile workstation carts are designed to run through an entire 8- to 10-hour shift on a single charge, so workers never experience mid-day downtime waiting for a recharge.

Battery life varies by model, battery type (lithium or AGM), and the power demands of the equipment running on the cart. In typical warehouse and manufacturing use, our carts are engineered to keep pace with full-shift demands.

Lithium battery models charge significantly faster than AGM models and maintain capacity longer over the battery's lifespan. For multi-shift operations, Newcastle also offers hot-swap battery configurations so carts turn around quickly without waiting for a full charge cycle. All carts charge from a standard 110V outlet.

Newcastle Systems mobile workstation carts can simultaneously power a wide range of work equipment, including desktop and laptop computers, monitors, barcode scanners, label printers, receipt printers, tablets, wireless access points, and other peripherals.

The specific combination depends on the model and battery capacity selected — our lineup spans a range of wattage outputs to cover everything from light-duty scanning setups to full multi-device workstations. Every Newcastle cart includes standard AC power outlets and USB charging ports.

For specialized applications — such as powering tools on a manufacturing floor or running equipment in cold storage — our engineering team can configure a cart with the right power output and mounting options for your specific equipment load. Use our Cart Comparison tool or contact a sales rep to find the right match.

The primary differences between lithium and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery carts are charge time, lifespan, and weight. Lithium battery carts charge significantly faster than AGM, deliver more charge cycles over their service life, and are considerably lighter — making them easier to maneuver across long distances on the facility floor.

Lithium batteries also include built-in battery management systems that protect against overcharging and overheating, making them inherently safer and more stable in industrial environments.

AGM battery carts carry a lower upfront cost and remain a dependable choice for single-shift operations with predictable overnight recharging windows. For most high-use warehouse or manufacturing environments, lithium is the better long-term investment. Newcastle offers both options and also sells lithium upgrade kits for customers looking to convert existing AGM carts.

Yes — customization is a core part of what Newcastle Systems offers. Every cart can be configured with a wide range of accessories including monitor arms, keyboard trays, barcode scanner holders, printer shelves, ergonomic work surfaces, tool hooks, storage drawers, locking cabinets, and more.

Height-adjustable work surfaces and tilting monitor mounts accommodate workers of different heights and ergonomic requirements — a key consideration for teams on their feet all day.

For applications with more specific needs — such as cold chain environments, cleanroom use, heavy industrial settings, or specialized power requirements — Newcastle's engineering team works directly with customers to develop purpose-built configurations. We've built mobile workstations for industries spanning warehouse logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, manufacturing, healthcare, and data centers. Contact us to discuss your application.
