VSD control cabinets for hire

The company has seen demand for such units in breakdown scenarios, where critical plant must be brought back online as soon as possible, as well as scheduled maintenance where hiring in a variable speed drive unit will enable production to be maintained while control panels are out of service.

They can also be used for evaluation purposes, for example to assess the energy savings or productivity improvements achieved by introducing variable speed capabilities to a system.

So far SoftStart has built cabinets to cover 22 to 220kW. All are built to IP56, with techniques in place to upgrade this if required. They are configured to be ready to roll – users just wheel them to the location, plug them in and switch them on.
