Facility and Warehouse Two-Way Radios for Plants, Campuses, and Distribution Centers
Walk through a busy distribution center at the start of second shift and you’ll hear it. A forklift driver calls a spotter at dock six. A supervisor asks maintenance to check a jammed conveyor. A custodian reports a wet floor near the east stairwell. Hospitals, school districts, manufacturing plants, and warehouses all run on quick, clear communication. Phones rarely hold up where hands are full, concrete is thick, and cell signal disappears behind the racking.
New London Technology supplies two-way radios, batteries, chargers, and accessories to facilities teams across the country. We’re a factory-authorized dealer and factory service center, our configurations are NDAA-compliant, and we offer volume pricing for sites that need to equip a whole shift at once. Browse the collection below, or call a radio specialist if you’d like help sorting out what your site needs.
What Facility and Warehouse Teams Need From a Radio
Coverage That Reaches the Hard Spots
Most facilities aren’t one open room. You’ve got loading docks, stairwells, mechanical rooms, parking lots, and outbuildings, and steel shelving and block walls are tough on radio signal. Before you buy anything, walk the site with a notepad and mark where communication is weak today. That list tells you more about the right radio than any spec sheet will.
Gear That Survives Shared Use
A radio on a campus or plant floor doesn’t belong to one person. It gets handed off at shift change, clipped to wet jackets, and dropped from forklift seats. A rugged housing, loud and clear audio, and controls that work with gloves on matter a lot more here than a long feature list. Simple radios that everyone can pick up and use without training tend to be the ones that actually get used.
Picking the Right Radio for Your Site
Start With What You Already Run
If your site already has a radio fleet, the fastest way to find compatible parts is to filter this collection by radio model. You’ll find Icom, Kenwood, Motorola, and Vertex Standard families listed alongside batteries, antennas, speaker microphones, and replacement parts. Staying with the family you know keeps training simple and lets you reuse the accessories you already own.
Standardizing for the First Time
If you’re choosing a radio family for the first time, look past the handset itself. Ask what batteries, chargers, and audio accessories will be available five or ten years from now, because the depth of support behind a radio often matters more than the handset’s spec sheet. Also think about frequency. UHF often handles buildings with a lot of structure well, while VHF can suit open campuses, but your coverage walk and your licensing will settle it.
Some sites need to talk to more than their own crew. A school district may coordinate with local fire and police, and a hospital may share channels with emergency responders. In those cases, take a look at our multi-band radios, which can cover more than one frequency band in a single handheld.
Brands We Carry
Facilities rarely have identical needs, so we don’t limit you to one manufacturer. Icom makes up the largest part of this collection, with a deep catalog of handhelds, mobiles, and the accessories that go with them. We also carry BK Technologies, L3Harris, and Tait. BK’s BKR5000, for example, is a single-band portable with Bluetooth, and the BKR9000 is a P25 handheld that works well for sites that need to coordinate with public safety partners. If P25 is on your list, our multi-band radios collection is a good place to compare what’s out there.

Batteries and Charging for Every Shift
Build a Battery Pool That Keeps Up
Nothing slows a warehouse floor like a radio that dies halfway through a shift. The easiest fix is a pool of spares, so a dead battery turns into a quick swap instead of a trip back to the office. Our two-way radio batteries are listed by radio brand and model, so you can match them to your fleet. If your site has areas with flammable materials, ask us about intrinsically safe options for compatible radio families.
Charge Where the Radios Live
A radio that’s fully charged at shift change is a radio people trust. Multi-bay desktop units work well at a security desk, supply room, or front office, where a whole shift’s worth of radios can be docked and picked up in one place. Single-unit models suit smaller teams or satellite locations. Count how many radios rotate through each shift, then choose two-way radio chargers that can keep up with that number, with a little room to grow. We’re glad to help you pair the right charger with the right batteries.
Audio Accessories That Hold Up on the Floor
Standard handheld audio isn’t always enough in a noisy plant or a busy dock. Rugged speaker microphones let a worker keep the radio on a belt or shoulder and still hear and talk clearly. Many are built to survive drops, dust, and water, and the IP67 speaker mics in this collection are a good example. For quieter work, such as hospital hallways or school corridors, discreet earpieces and lapel microphones keep the conversation private and the noise down.
You’ll also find antennas, holsters, and carry cases here. They’re small items, but they’re often the first things to break, and replacing them is a lot cheaper than replacing a radio.
Programming and In-House Maintenance
Keep Your Own Technicians in Control
Plenty of facilities have their own radio technician, or a maintenance lead who handles it on the side. Sites change. You add a department, move a channel, or bring on a new shift. When your team has the right radio programming cables and software, those changes take minutes instead of a service call. We list programming cables and software for many Icom models and other major brands, so you can keep your fleet current without waiting on anyone.
Or Let Us Handle It
If you’d rather not deal with programming at all, send us your channel list or codeplug with your quote request. We include fleet programming with most quote orders, so your radios can arrive ready to use. Our services team is also available if you’d like a hand getting set up.
Vehicles, Shuttles, and Fixed Locations
Radios aren’t only carried on foot. Facilities vehicles, campus shuttles, and utility carts all benefit from a mobile radio or a hard-wired vehicle kit, and fixed locations like a guard shack or dispatch desk often need a base setup. This collection includes mobile radios, power cables, mounting brackets, and install items to get them mounted and working.
If your vehicles double as a place where handhelds get charged between runs, in-vehicle two-way radio chargers keep portables ready without a trip back to the office. Pair them with the right brackets and power adapters, and the setup stays tidy and safe.
Factory-Authorized Support and Volume Orders
Because we’re a factory-authorized dealer and service center, warranty repairs and service are handled in-house, not shipped back to the manufacturer. Bigger projects are no problem either. We handle deployments of more than 1,000 radios, including staging, programming, and serialization, so a large rollout doesn’t land on your own team’s desk.
When you order, it helps to think about the whole package. Add spare two-way radio batteries for the first month, and keep a couple of radio programming cables on hand for your technician. It’s easier to build these in from the start than to chase them later. If your purchase involves a district, hospital, or government contract, our compliance page has documentation, and our team can talk through your requirements.
