Leading Portable Power Supply Company Instagrid Launches New Product For UK Construction Market

Instagrid GO provides working professionals access to peak power in the most challenging work environments
Instagrid GO is tailor-made to serve the UK construction industry, powering demanding applications whilst enhancing workplace safety

Instagrid (www.instagrid.co), the Certified B Corporation and leading provider of advanced battery-based portable power systems for mobile workforces, today announces the launch of Instagrid GO. The high-performance battery unit will provide mobile power to UK construction workers facing challenging power demands, whilst simultaneously transforming workplace safety and driving the construction industry net-zero push.

Global off-grid work is currently dominated by inefficient and costly fuel-powered combustion generators that produce harmful emissions and pose health risks to users. To combat this, the UK construction industry has launched a plan to eliminate 78% of diesel machinery from UK construction sites by 2035. In order to reach this goal, construction executives and business owners need to adopt innovative clean technologies.

Born out of Germany’s world-renowned epicenter for innovation and engineering excellence, Instagrid has developed a sustainable alternative power supply that integrates a unique award-winning architecture of stacked micro-inverters to deliver precise grid-like performance, at a fraction of the size, weight, and environmental cost of conventional generators. In fact, by avoiding expenditure on fuel and maintenance, Instagrid customers save nearly 80% on lifetime costs, all whilst generating zero exhaust fumes.

Instagrid’s principal and flagship product Instagrid ONE has so far helped nearly 50,000 users across Europe to reduce costs thanks to savings on fuel and maintenance, and to create a more efficient and healthier work environment. In many cases, Instagrid ONE has transformed how users work entirely. For example, providing metal workers ultra-high peak power for welding on-the-go, or helping film crews to streamline their operations by avoiding cumbersome cables and noisy power generators on set.

Following the monumental success of Instagrid ONE across several verticals in Europe, Instagrid has now developed a new power unit that directly responds to the unique energy regulations of the UK construction vertical, whilst encompassing the peak power and portability components of Instagrid ONE. Instagrid GO will transform the way construction workers operate, granting them a higher level of flexibility and freedom to perform power-demanding tasks, whilst elevating their level of safety through reduced cabling and local emissions. Furthermore, by drastically reducing air and noise pollution on-site, workers can feel assured that their safety is of paramount importance.

Instagrid GO: portable energy reinvented

Instagrid GO (shown above, product spec below) is the new UK-specific mobile energy source for construction workers, providing clean power for anyone, anywhere, anytime:

Uncompromising power – Instagrid GO delivers grid-like performance with a rated power output of 3.6 kW and peak power output of 18.0 kW, meaning users can power even the most demanding tools with ease.

Efficient by design – Unlike the heavy traditional combustion generators, weighing just 21 kg the Instagrid GO is easily transported in just one hand, allowing the user to carry the power with them wherever they go. Its additional IP54 rating means it can be used in all weather conditions, and it’s protected from dust and particles.

Increased safety – Instagrid GO reduces the hundreds of metres of cumbersome cabling that all too often trail directly through the site, in turn reducing trip hazards and speeding up set-up and tear-down times. Instagrid GO emits zero noise or fumes, improving worker safety and protecting the local environment. For utmost safety on-site, Instagrid GO delivers power equivalent to the UK construction regulation 110 V.

Proven credentials –Born out of the European success of its sister unit Instagrid ONE, Instagrid GO represents an industry-proven high-performance clean energy alternative now designed specifically for the UK construction industry.

Instagrid GO is the third product from Instagrid, and is compatible with the Instagrid LINK – the smart power distributor that lets users connect multiple power sources together, allowing seamless switching between them and increasing overall capacity.

With charge times of under 3 hours, and enabling a sustained and efficient energy supply, the Instagrid GO powers a range of applications. For example:

3,000 W table saw – powers 4,100 cuts through 50 x 100 mm lumber
2,200 W breaker – capable of demolishing 7.5 t of 150 mm concrete slabs
3,300 W diamond core drill – 32 holes through 150 mm concrete with 150 mm core drill bit
2,700 W cut-off saw – 38 cuts on 110 mm cast iron pipe

For information on demoing or purchasing Instagrid GO, the UK Sales Team can be contacted at sales.uk@instagrid.co.

Instagrid GO is also available to purchase in North American markets, developed with dual 120 V outputs and the option to switch to 240 V, empowering professional use cases across multiple sectors of industry, including construction, film & media, emergency services, and events.

Sebastian Berning, Co-CEO and Co-Founder: “Instagrid GO embodies the same innovative spirit as our European flagship product, Instagrid ONE, which has revolutionised the portable power market since its inception. Rooted in rigorous German engineering and fueled by feedback from top-tier professional customers, we crafted Instagrid GO to fulfil the exacting demands of the UK construction vertical. Instagrid GO is a game-changer for construction professionals pursuing clean, high-performance mobile power.”

Andreas Sedlmayr, Co-CEO and Co-Founder: “The launch of Instagrid GO marks a groundbreaking step in our commitment to delivering high-performance power while achieving ambitious sustainability targets. In our mission to decarbonise off-grid power, we now have a product tailor-made for the UK construction vertical, which remains heavily reliant on combustion technology. With nearly 50,000 users across Europe already experiencing the benefits of clean, high-performance mobile power, Instagrid GO is set to empower professionals in this key construction industry. This innovative solution will not only drive their commercial success but also support the transition towards net-zero goals.”
