Provide every student with a school locker through Utility Rentals’ affordable rental offering

Students today require school lockers more than ever. With a vast range of subjects in the curriculum, as well as many extra-curricular activities on offer, students are often required to bring a large number of books, textbooks and folders with them on a daily basis, which can quickly become extremely heavy for students, leaving many suffering from back pain. And that’s without taking into consideration any other equipment they may need such as P.E kits and musical instruments! Some schools may try to tackle this problem by reducing the amount of equipment required, some even ‘going paperless’ where possible, but one issue that’s much trickier to solve is theft! Understandably students can’t be with their bags 100% of the time at school, leaving their belongings in a vulnerable position. And let’s face it, with the majority of students today carrying smart phones and tablets, there’s a lot more at risk that just their lunch money! By providing students with a school locker, they can carry what they need for each lesson at a time, rather than the whole day. Plus, valuables can be safely locked away when required, without the worry of them being stolen.

At Utility Rentals, we speak to schools on a regular basis who would love to provide a locker for their students, as well as many schools who are desperate to replace the old, worn-out lockers they currently have in place. Yet they often find that due to a lack of capital budget and the high cost of new lockers, they can’t afford to purchase the amount of lockers they really need, if any at all. That’s where we come in! We strongly believe that students shouldn’t be deprived of a school locker and therefore have created a locker rental package specifically for the UK’s education sector. As the cost of lockers can be spread across a 3 or 5 year period, schools can proceed with the exact quantity of lockers they need immediately using just their revenue budget, rather than drip-feeding lockers into the school a year group at a time when budget is available. Our rental package will include free delivery to your school at a time that best suits you and we can even include installation as well as ongoing maintenance if you require us to.

We have an immense range of lockers available with a range of different sizes, specifications and configurations to suit all environments and age-ranges. Our traditional steel lockers are a favourite among the UK education sector. They are sturdy and robust with welded plinths that make each compartment completely separate and structurally rigid. Plus each locker has a full height strengthener welded inside each door, as well as 5 knuckle hinges to increase strength and security. Plus, the lockers are coated with Activecoat – an anti-bacterial coating that reduces MRSA, E-Coli and bacteria by 99.9%. For schools looking to acquire something a little more premium, our range of shockproof lockers are ideal, as they feature high quality steel locker carcasses with 10mm solid grade laminate doors that can be either overlay or inset, depending on the schools preference.

For some schools, budget may not be the sole reason preventing them from acquiring new lockers, as space can also be an issue. Fortunately, our range of plastic lockers can help to resolve this as they can be positioned indoors or outside, if required. We can provide water resistant lockers which are best used when sheltered from direct rain, under a canopy for example. Or alternatively, we can provide fully waterproof lockers that are suitable for use within even the most challenging environments and weather conditions. Each range of lockers is available in several dimensions, compartment sizes and colours, so they’ll be an option to suit even primary school children or schools with restricted space. We offer a variety of lock types from standard key locks and combination locks to pound/token coin return/retain locks. Plus, we can even include additional accessories as part of the rental if you require us to, such as number plates or stands.
