Hydraulic tools powered by LPS and solar panels

Hydraulic services often demand a variety of specialised equipment for repairs and maintenance, many of which require 230V power. On-site, Christian Malais uses several essential tools, including a peeling machine, cutting machine, and hydraulic hose pressing machine. The LPS and the solar panels charge these devices automatically, ensuring continuous operation. Safety remains a top priority. The LPS also powers the 12V warning light, keeping the worksite visible and secure.

Equipping service vehicles for greater efficiency

Ibe Deryckere from Moduvan, the company responsible for outfitting Hansa-Flex’s service vehicles, notes growing demand for varied lighting in these vehicles. The LPS from Clayton Power, with a powerful 3000W inverter and a 2 kWh lithium battery, runs essential tools and lighting seamlessly, plus extras like a coffee machine and microwave oven.
