Docking Station for Airone 1000RS and Airone 1000DS
The Safelab Docking Station provides a secure connection point for services such as gas, electricity, water and waste when using the Airone 1000RS mobile ductless fume cupboard or Airone 1000DS semi-mobile ducted fume cupboard.
It allows schools and colleges to move the fume cupboard into position for demonstrations, connect services safely, then disconnect and move the unit away when it is not in use.
Need a flexible fume cupboard setup for school science classrooms?
What the Docking Station does
The Safelab Docking Station provides a secure connection point for the services required when using compatible mobile and semi-mobile fume cupboards.
The fume cupboard is moved into position for the demonstration, the castors are locked, and the services are connected through the Docking Station. After the demonstration, the services can be disconnected, the Docking Station securely locked, and the fume cupboard moved out of the way.
This makes it easier for schools and colleges to use a mobile or semi-mobile fume cupboard in flexible teaching spaces without installing a permanent fume cupboard in every classroom.

Why choose a Docking Station?
Choose a Safelab Docking Station if your school or college needs a flexible fume cupboard arrangement for practical science demonstrations.
Rather than installing a permanent fume cupboard in every classroom, schools can install Docking Stations in selected teaching spaces and use a compatible mobile or semi-mobile fume cupboard where it is needed.
Key reasons to choose a Docking Station include:
- supports flexible use of mobile and semi-mobile fume cupboards;
- allows one compatible fume cupboard to serve multiple classrooms;
- helps reduce the need for permanent fume cupboard installations in every room;
- provides secure service connections during use;
- allows services to be locked away when not in use;
- supports space-efficient science teaching environments.
Safety and service connection
The Docking Station is designed to provide secure connection of services, usually including gas, electricity, water and waste, when using compatible Airone fume cupboards.
Its lockable design helps prevent unauthorised access to services when the fume cupboard is not in use, while the tether point helps prevent damage to service connections during positioning.
This supports safer, more controlled use of mobile and semi-mobile fume cupboards in school and college science environments.
