The Ukrainian design bureau LOCKER has unveiled its new mobile workshop MZAK1, designed for charging drone batteries. This information was shared in a company announcement.
The workshop is based on a standard 20-foot container and is capable of operating in field conditions. The dimensions of the container are 6 meters in length, 2.6 meters in width, and 2.59 meters in height, with an approximate weight of 5 tons.
Inside the container, there are cabinets for charging batteries with a capacity of 66,000 mA•h, used in heavy drones such as "Vampire" and "Baba Yaga".
Additionally, it includes a three-phase generator with a power of 50 kW, providing voltage options of 230 or 400 volts. To operate the generator, there are 12 fuel canisters, each holding 20 liters, totaling a fuel reserve of 240 liters, allowing for simultaneous charging of 84 batteries.
There is also an external 380-volt outlet; if the workshop is located at a permanent deployment point, power can be supplied externally.
The system allows for charging batteries ranging from 2S to 6S.
The workshop also features a workbench, tool storage, two internal 220-volt outlets, a first-aid kit, an air conditioner, and a sleeping area.
It is noteworthy that the workshop was built from scratch in just two months.
Earlier reports indicated that a modular factory was established in the Czech Republic to produce UAVs in combat zones. This facility is also based on shipping containers and is capable of 3D printing drones.
