Sustainable power solutions with APS

Sustainable power solutions with APS

Power up your performance with sustainable energy solutions that deliver unparalleled results.

APS supplies a range of sustainable power generation solutions, including batteries and welding products, known for their unmatched reliability and environmental advantages. With a commitment to delivering on our promises, you can trust the APS team to provide the highest-quality service and reliable products your project demands.

Now, APS is introducing a game changing new product to the Australian Market, Instagrid. The first to deliver portable power solutions for maximum performance and unmatched efficiency, flexibility and reliability.

APS proudly offers Instagrid products as a testament to its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions in portable power.

What sets Instagrid apart is its relentless pursuit of innovation, redefining mobile electricity and offering exceptional power in a compact, plug-and-play application. It ensures maximum efficiency in various applications, increasing workday productivity with its long runtime and fast charging capabilities.

Mobile power supply for construction sites

In the construction industry, reliable and efficient power supply is essential, especially when operating high-energy-demand equipment. The Instagrid ONE and other products in the portfolio provide an innovative solution that is not only powerful but also environmentally friendly and silent.

Better than mobile generators?

Compared to traditional combustion generators, Instagrid solutions stand out. The Instagrid ONE delivers a nominal power of 3,600W and peak power of 18,000W, making it ideal for operating heavy-duty equipment such as high demanding power tools, including welding machines. This performance, combined with its compact size, makes it significantly lighter and quieter than traditional generators. Plus, the Instagrid ONE is ready for any project any time, as the battery can be fully charged in under three hours.

Lightweight and robust

The Instagrid ONE is not only powerful but also durable and easy to handle. Weighing just 20kg, it can be carried with one hand. The passively cooled battery contains no moving parts and is protected against dust and moisture with an IP54+ rating. This makes it ideal for demanding environments, both indoors and outdoors. It also provides significant advantages for working in difficult areas, such as working at heights, or confined spaces.

Significantly more cost-effective than generators

The Instagrid ONE offers substantial cost savings compared to combustion-engine generators. Thanks to its highly efficient technology, it can save up to 80% of lifecycle costs associated with fuel and maintenance, leading to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental footprint and healthier worksites

The Instagrid ONE provides clean, locally emission-free power, greatly reducing its environmental footprint. With no exhaust fumes or noise emissions, it creates healthier workplaces and contributes to the decarbonisation of the construction industry. This is increasingly important as emission reduction and improved air quality on worksites become a key focus.

Instagrid LINK: expanding power capacity

For even greater demands, Instagrid offers the Instagrid LINK, an intelligent power distributor that extends the functionality of the Instagrid ONE. By combining up to three Instagrid ONE units, clients’ storage can be tripled, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply and the ability to power up to three devices with RCD protection, all without noise or exhaust emissions.

The Instagrid ONE, along with the Instagrid LINK, aims to set new standards in mobile power supply for the construction & mining industry. With their high performance, efficiency, and environmentally friendly technology, they provide a reliable and healthy alternative to traditional generators. These innovations not only help reduce the environmental footprint but also improve working conditions on sites. Better yet, they are currently being used on Mine sites across Australia as we speak.
