In an industry where efficiency, sustainability, and innovation drive progress, Travis Perkins Hire is leading the charge. As the UK’s largest suppliers of building materials and hire equipment, the company is embracing a cleaner, customer focused approach to portable power with a significant investment in Instagrid’s battery-based power solutions.
The investment not only enhances Travis Perkins’ nationwide hire fleet but also supports its commitment to environmental responsibility, safety, and customer satisfaction.
A Nationwide Rollout of Emission Free Power You Can Take Anywhere
The partnership includes a large-scale deployment of Instagrid GO (110v) and Instagrid ONE (230v) units across select Travis Perkins Hire branches and follows a highly successful trial at the Manchester Central branch, where 22 units went through rigorous site testing under the guidance of Hire Manager Jay Priest.
Jay, shared his experience:
“Our goal was to understand how customers would react to using Instagrid instead of a traditional generator. Any scepticism about its capability, was quickly put to bed once customers tried it, they didn’t want to go back. Instagrid outperforms generators in every aspect. Even if the hire cost is slightly higher, the benefits far outweigh it—simpler handling, easier transport, zero emissions and noise, no need for refuelling or plant nappies, and more space on vans.
Instagrid solves real problems for our customers. It helps customers meet sustainability targets, lowers emissions, enhances safety, and improves site working conditions. The feedback from both customers and colleagues has been outstanding.
And our local managed services customers, particularly in social housing maintenance, have been very quick to adopt Instagrid as a temporary power solution.”
A Strong Partnership for the Future
Matt O’Hara, Sales Director for Instagrid UK, echoed the enthusiasm:
“We’re thrilled to launch this partnership with Travis Perkins Hire. At Instagrid, we understand that transitioning from traditional generators to portable battery-based power isn’t always easy. That’s why our customer success managers have supported Travis Perkins throughout the trial and will continue to do so as the rollout expands”.
