Morgan Sindall Magnor Plant Depot, Staffordshire
Morgan Sindall required a powerful but portable power solution for their fitters’ vans, specifically designed to enable their team to seamlessly work both inside and outside of the vehicle while on site.

Overview:

This solution needed to deliver sufficient energy to support a variety of essential tools and equipment used in their daily operations, ensuring that tasks could be completed efficiently without interruption. The ability to easily power their daily activities was crucial for maintaining productivity and reducing the risk of downtime, which can be costly in terms of both time and resources. Additionally, the design of the power solution was required to be user-friendly and lightweight, allowing it to be easily handled and operated by a single person. This focus on portability and ease of use would empower their fitters to maximise their effectiveness on the job, ensuring that they could tackle their responsibilities with confidence and reliability.

Solution:

Enter the PowaHUB – an innovative bulkhead-mounted power solution designed to meet all your electrical needs. This versatile unit provides both 110V and 230V power options, making it suitable for a wide range of devices and applications. The PowaHUB, powered by the reliable Instagrid ONE or GO36 power units, is equipped in-built transformers to allow for seamless power conversion, stepping up from 110V to 230V or stepping down from 230V to 110V, ensuring you have access to dual power sources as required.

The PowaHUB features a robust power tower that stands tall to provide easy access to multiple 230V outlets. It includes a standard 110V socket, along with a twin 230V socket, ensuring you can run multiple devices simultaneously without hassle. Safety is also a top priority; the PowaHUB comes equipped with a fire extinguisher to address any unforeseen emergencies.

Additionally, the unit offers lockable storage space, allowing you to securely store your valuable equipment and tools. For added convenience, there is a lockable slide-out compartment specifically designed to house the Instagrid unit itself. This organised storage solution not only keeps everything in place but also ensures quick access when you need to power up your devices away from the vehicle.

Key Stats

  • 110V / 230V power
  • 6kW (16A) rated output power
  • 18kW (80A) peak power output
  • 1kWh rated energy capacity

Result:

The PowaHUB solution meant that Morgan Sindall’s plant fitters greatly increased their work efficiency day-to-day, allowing more jobs to be completed per day. It significantly bettered their health and safety standards, incorporating features designed to minimise risks and ensure compliance with industry regulations. The ergonomic and lightweight design of the power unit also reduced the physical strain on the fitters, addressing the manual handling demand and contributing to a healthier workplace environment. As a result, Morgan Sindall not only improved operational efficiency but also fostered a culture of safety and well-being among its workforce.

What our customers say

“No noise, straight away no noise. No exhaust emissions, straight away, so that’s carbon footprint ticked. It’s silent, lightweight, you don’t have to use heavy generators, lifting them around and bringing them out to site. Then you’ve got your fuel element, this (PowaHUB unit) doesn’t need any fuel, the generators need fuel, so you’re eliminating spills and the danger of what comes with having fuel inside your van. In terms of the potential of road traffic accidents, if you haven’t got fuel in your van you’re less likely to have major issues, much less danger than the potential of having fuel spills on the road. With the option of either a 230V or 110V portable power unit, it will revolutionise the operation. To have the van running is a no go in this day and age, with this available and the setup, you should have no reason to have the van running going forward. The power unit comes out of the unit very nicely, slides out well, and anywhere you want to go with it it’s fine, especially in comparison with moving the generator going forward, this is probably a quarter of the weight!”
