Can businesses rent phone charging stations in Switzerland?
Yes. Event organisers, hotels, conference centres and venues can hire phone charging stations and lockers for short-term events, multi-day conferences, or longer-term installations. Rental arrangements typically include delivery, setup and collection, though exact terms depend on the supplier and location.
Can businesses buy phone charging lockers?
Yes. Commercial phone charging lockers are available for purchase in Switzerland, with options including secure digital-PIN compartments, multi-device charging, and custom branding. Purchasing is typically more cost-effective for permanent venues with recurring charging needs.
Can stations be branded?
Yes. Branding options range from subtle corporate logos to full-wrap graphics, sponsor branding, and event-specific designs. Branded charging stations function as physical brand touchpoints in high-footfall environments.
Are secure digital-PIN lockers available?
Yes. Digital PIN access is a standard security feature on many commercial charging locker systems, allowing users to lock their device while it charges and retrieve it using a personal code. Alternative access methods may include key locks or RFID, depending on the product configuration.
Who are they suitable for?
Event organisers (conferences, exhibitions, festivals), hospitality businesses (hotels, resorts, restaurants), commercial venues (shopping centres, retail, transport hubs), organisations (offices, universities, coworking spaces), and marketing teams seeking physical brand engagement infrastructure.
What is the difference between rental and purchase?
Rental suits one-off events, temporary activations, and testing a solution before committing. Purchase suits permanent venues, recurring events, and organisations seeking long-term ownership, branding control, and predictable cost amortisation.
What should a buyer do next?
Define your location, venue type, expected capacity, branding requirements, and whether you need rental or purchase. Then request a quote from a supplier who can confirm current product specifications, availability, and promotional terms.
Ask Vischarge about phone charging station rental, purchase, and current additional-locker promotional offers.

A phone charging station is a commercial-grade unit designed to charge multiple mobile devices simultaneously in a public or semi-public environment. Unlike a consumer USB charger, a commercial charging station is built for:
| Factor | Consumer Charger | Commercial Charging Station |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1–2 devices | 6–12+ devices |
| Security | None | Locker options available |
| Durability | Household use | High-footfall environments |
| Branding | None | Custom branding available |
| Power management | Basic | Centralised, monitored |
| Support | None | Supplier support |
Charging kiosks or open stations allow users to plug in and charge while remaining near their device. They are visible, social, and suitable for short dwell times.
Charging lockers provide individual, lockable compartments. Users place their device inside, connect a cable, lock the compartment, and retrieve it later. This suits environments where users want to charge while moving around.
Power bank rental stations allow users to borrow a portable battery and charge on the move. These are common in Swiss cities via services like Zyloq and Chimpy . However, they serve a different use case than fixed charging infrastructure — they are mobile, not venue-based.
Switzerland has among the highest smartphone penetration rates in Europe. Apple devices alone account for approximately 49% of the Swiss smartphone market, with Samsung at roughly 37% . This means a commercial charging station must support:
Swiss consumers also keep their devices longer — 65% report using their smartphone for extended periods due to rising prices . This increases the daily reliance on charging throughout the day.

Phone charging station hire (or rental) means paying to use a charging unit for a defined period without owning it. The supplier typically delivers, sets up, and collects the unit. Rental periods can range from a single day to several months.
Short-term rental (1–7 days) suits events with defined dates.
Multi-day rental (1–4 weeks) suits exhibitions, pop-up activations, or temporary venue installations.
Repeat-event rental suits organisers who run regular events and want consistent charging infrastructure without ownership.
Long-term rental (months or longer) may suit venues testing a solution before purchase, or organisations with temporary locations.
Rental units can often be branded for events, sponsors, or venues. Options range from a simple logo to full-wrap graphics. Confirm branding lead times and whether artwork must be supplied in a specific format.
Rental logistics vary by supplier. Ask:
Ask Vischarge about rental options and current availability for your event or venue.
Why charging matters: Conference attendees use smartphones for schedules, networking, note-taking, and travel. A dead battery mid-conference is a significant frustration.
Recommended station type: Charging lockers in the foyer or registration area allow attendees to charge while attending sessions. Open stations in networking areas suit shorter charging needs.
Placement: Registration desk, coffee break areas, exhibition foyers, networking lounges.
Capacity: A 12-locker unit can serve a conference with 100–300 attendees, depending on session length and dwell time.
Branding: Event logo, sponsor branding, or conference campaign graphics.
Security: Lockers provide secure charging for attendees who want to leave devices while in sessions.
CTA: Get a branded charging station for your conference.
Why charging matters: Exhibition visitors and exhibitors both rely on smartphones. Exhibitors use devices for lead capture and demonstrations; visitors use them for navigation and information.
Recommended station type: Lockers for visitors; open stations in exhibitor lounges or VIP areas.
Placement: Entrance halls, exhibition foyers, VIP lounges, press rooms.
Capacity: Multiple units may be needed for large exhibitions. Consider one locker unit per 500–1,000 expected visitors per day.
Branding: Exhibition branding, sponsor visibility, organiser branding.
Electrical considerations: Confirm power availability at desired locations. Freestanding units may require nearby sockets.
CTA: Ask about exhibition charging station rental.
Why charging matters: Trade show attendees and exhibitors have long days with heavy smartphone use. Charging infrastructure supports both groups.
Recommended station type: Mix of lockers (for attendees) and open stations (for exhibitor areas).
Placement: Entrance, hall intersections, exhibitor lounges, meeting areas.
Branding: Trade show branding, sponsor activation.
CTA: Request trade show charging station hire.
Why charging matters: Festival-goers spend full days outdoors with intensive smartphone use for photos, videos, messaging, and navigation. Battery drain is rapid.
Recommended station type: Lockers or open stations in charging zones. Power bank rental may also be relevant for mobile charging.
Placement: Charging zones, VIP areas, camping areas, main stage vicinity.
Capacity: High — festivals may require multiple units or high-capacity configurations.
Security: Lockers are strongly recommended for festival environments where users leave devices while enjoying performances.
Electrical considerations: Outdoor festivals may require generators or power distribution. Confirm power requirements with the supplier.
CTA: Ask about festival charging station rental.
Why charging matters: Concert-goers use smartphones for tickets, photos, videos, and meeting friends. Dead batteries create logistical problems.
Recommended station type: Lockers in secure areas; open stations in VIP or hospitality zones.
Placement: Entrance, VIP area, merchandise area.
CTA: Get a charging station for your concert venue.
Why charging matters: Corporate event attendees — employees, clients, partners — rely on smartphones for work and personal use.
Recommended station type: Open stations in networking areas; lockers for full-day events.
Placement: Registration, networking lounge, break areas.
Branding: Corporate branding, campaign branding, product launch graphics.
CTA: Ask about corporate event charging solutions.
Why charging matters: Spectators and participants use smartphones throughout events. Sports events often have long durations with limited charging access.
Recommended station type: Lockers in spectator areas; open stations in VIP hospitality.
Placement: Spectator concourses, VIP areas, media zones.
CTA: Request sports event charging station rental.
Why charging matters: Students, staff, and visitors rely heavily on smartphones. University events — open days, conferences, graduations — benefit from visible charging infrastructure.
Recommended station type: Open stations in common areas; lockers in libraries or study spaces for permanent installations.
Placement: Student unions, libraries, event halls, common areas.
Branding: University branding, faculty branding, sponsor visibility.
CTA: Ask about university charging station solutions.
Why charging matters: Product launches often involve demonstrations, social media sharing, and brand engagement. Charging stations can be branded for the launch and positioned as a guest amenity.
Recommended station type: Branded open stations or lockers with full-wrap graphics.
Placement: Event entrance, demo areas, hospitality zones.
Branding: Product branding, campaign graphics, sponsor visibility.
CTA: Get a branded charging station for your product launch.
Why charging matters: Brand activations seek to create memorable experiences. A branded charging station is both a practical amenity and a physical brand touchpoint.
Recommended station type: Branded kiosks, lockers with sponsor graphics, or custom configurations.
Placement: High-footfall activation areas.
Branding: Full branding — logo, colours, campaign graphics.
CTA: Ask about branded activation charging stations.

A phone charging locker is a secure, compartmentalised charging station. Each compartment contains a charging cable or port. Users:
Lockers provide a more secure charging environment than open stations because devices are physically locked during charging. However, no system can guarantee absolute theft prevention. Lockers are designed to deter opportunistic theft and provide a practical security layer.
Lockers enable unattended charging — users can leave devices charging while they attend a conference session, dine at a restaurant, shop, or enjoy a festival. This is the primary advantage of locker configurations over open stations.
A standard 12-compartment locker unit can charge 12 devices simultaneously. For a venue with 500 daily visitors expecting 10% charging demand, that translates to 50 potential users — meaning multiple units or a staggered usage model may be needed.
| Venue Type | Locker Suitability |
|---|---|
| Hotels | High — guests leave devices while at dinner or spa |
| Conferences | High — attendees charge during sessions |
| Universities | High — students charge during lectures |
| Shopping centres | Medium-High — shoppers charge while browsing |
| Gyms | High — members charge during workouts |
| Offices | Medium — visitors and employees |
| Festivals | High — attendees charge while at stages |

Open stations suit:
Lockers suit:
Neither is universally better. The choice depends on the use case.
There is no universal formula. Consider:
1. Venue capacity
Maximum occupancy at peak times.
2. Dwell time
How long do visitors stay? Longer dwell = more charging demand.
3. Event duration
Full-day events require more capacity than 2-hour events.
4. Expected phone usage
Intensive smartphone use (photos, videos, navigation) drains batteries faster.
5. Station location
High-visibility locations attract more users.
6. Turnover
How quickly do users retrieve devices? Faster turnover = more effective capacity.
Scenario A: One-day conference, 200 attendees
Scenario B: Hotel lobby, 100 rooms
Scenario C: Shopping centre, 10,000 daily visitors

Charging stations are visible, high-touch points. Every user interaction creates brand exposure.
For events, charging stations can display sponsor logos, creating a tangible sponsorship asset.
Event branding transforms a practical amenity into an engagement tool.
Hotel-branded charging stations reinforce property identity and guest experience.
Retail charging stations keep customers in-store longer while displaying brand identity.
Office charging stations reinforce corporate culture and visitor experience.
Charging stations create natural engagement points — users interact with the device, see branding, and associate the amenity with the venue.
Do not promise specific ROI unless evidence exists.
Visitors may want to charge their phone but may not want to leave an expensive device unattended. Open charging stations require users to stay nearby, which limits their ability to enjoy the venue, attend sessions, or shop.
Secure charging lockers address this use case by providing a locked compartment where devices can charge while users move around. Users retain control — they set the PIN, lock the compartment, and retrieve the device when ready.
Lockers can provide a more secure charging environment than open stations. However, no system can guarantee theft prevention. Lockers are designed to deter opportunistic theft and provide a practical security layer.
Ask Vischarge about secure digital-PIN charging lockers.

If users need to remain beside their devices → Open station may be appropriate.
If users need to leave devices charging while they attend an event → Secure locker may be more appropriate.
If branding is the primary objective → Consider branded kiosk/table/station.
If the venue wants permanent infrastructure → Consider purchase.
If it is a one-off event → Consider rental.
If security is a priority → Consider lockers.
If visibility is a priority → Consider open stations.
