Groundforce’s drive for clean energy boosted by the Instagrid Mobile Power Supply

Groundforce have introduced the Instagrid GO Mobile Power Supply: a portable, lightweight device that delivers grid-like electrical performance without the limitations associated with conventional diesel or petrol generators.

Groundforce have introduced the Instagrid GO Mobile Power Supply: a portable, lightweight device that delivers grid-like electrical performance without the limitations associated with conventional diesel or petrol generators. Coming in at just 21kg, it is light enough to be lifted and positioned by just one person using its integrated carrying handle, and is suitable for use with a variety of power tools: all great benefits, but let’s take a look at what the Instagrid can offer those specifically working in the civils and construction sectors.

Instagrid GO: lasting power at its core…

One of the most frequent problems experienced with mobile power devices is that they struggle to sustain a charge for long enough to complete a given task. The Instagrid GO however, not only supplies power equivalent to 32A / 110V, it can deliver up to five hours running time and be charged in as little as 1.5 hours.

A game changer for the shoring industry

The unit’s IP54 rating further extends its versatility, allowing trouble-free outdoor use, even in adverse weather conditions: and with zero emissions, the Instagrid GO can also be used indoors or in a confined space. This means it can legitimately be sited on an excavation floor; a total game changer for the shoring industry in a world where the use of petrol or diesel engines in excavations has long been prohibited due to the inherent dangers of exhaust fumes and the risk of producing sparks that may ignite trapped gases.

The Instagrid Go / Electric Shoring Pump combination

The Instagrid is able to supply electricity to Groundforce’s 110V Electric Shoring Pump, used for the expansion and retraction of hydraulic shoring equipment. With both products able to operate entirely from within the excavation, this fully electric combination presents a viable, worry-free alternative to using a diesel generator / petrol powered shoring pump arrangement, and heralds an exciting new development for the shoring industry.

A practical blend of safety and sustainability

The Instagrid GO provides enhanced safety while offering a sustainable, practical and eco-friendly alternative. Here’s a reminder of some of the many features and benefits you will experience using this product:

  • IP54 rating means it can be used in all weather conditions
  • At 21kg it can be lifted and manoeuvred by one person
  • Very quiet, unlike conventional diesel / petrol generators
  • Can be used to power the Groundforce 110V Electric Shoring Pump
  • Suitable for indoor use: no toxic fumes, zero emissions
  • Can be used in confined spaces, including excavations
  • Sustainable and kind to the environment
