Leveraging Instagrid's Portable Power for Construction Efficiency

  • What is Instagrid?

    Instagrid is a breakthrough in portable power supply. Combining the convenience of full mains power with a lightweight, transportable design, it stands as a superior alternative to traditional small generators. Weighing in at a mere 20 kilograms, Instagrid provides the equivalent power output of 5/6kVA generators while eliminating the hassles associated with conventional power sources.

  • Benefits of Instagrid

    The utilisation of Instagrid across various projects can bring a multitude of advantages to your construction project. Instagrid can power 110v equipment without generating noise, consuming fuel or causing downtime. On top of allowing for electricity wherever required with zero emissions, the Instagrid also:

    • Eliminates the need to source and store fuel.
    • Facilitates work both indoors and outdoors, in all weather conditions.
    • Removes the necessity for additional accessories, such as drip trays, typically required with small generators.
    • Reduces CO2 emissions and noise pollution of the job site.
  • Client Testimonial

    Lovell Partnerships, a division of the Morgan Sindall Group, previously relied on small generators before conducting a trial of Instagrid in partnership with GAP Hire Solutions.

    I am thrilled to share our experience with the Instagrid, which has proven to be an asset to our daily operations. On average, a full charge allows us to complete two plots a day, even when facing general dust accumulation.

    What truly impressed us is its versatility. When tackling plots that required a bit more effort during the initial fix, the Instagrid powered through, enabling us to complete an entire plot in a single day. Remarkably, its functionality extends beyond just running the hoover – it has potential for powering lighting, heaters, 110v tools, and more.

    One of the standout features for us is the convenience of overnight charging. With its safe operation through a transformer, we found it convenient to leave it charging overnight. Considering we only had one transformer available, achieving 1-2 plots a day was more than sufficient for our needs.

    The ease of use was a game-changer for our team. No longer did we have to deal with the hassle of forklifts, moving extension leads, or providing petrol. The guys on the team unanimously agreed that it was far simpler than even a small petrol generator.

    Given the remarkable performance and convenience it brought to our workflow, we are more than happy to continue using the Instagrid. Highly recommended!

    Grant Wright-Tennant, Site Manager commented: “Used a breaker, braking out concrete and paved areas. In a nutshell it was lightweight, compact, powerful and quiet. The team using it absolutely loved it as opposed to traditional heavy, cumbersome, oily, noisy generators.”
