Events and festivals
Powering a stage, an exhibitor village or a control position without a generator in the middle of the audience.
What triggers it
A site without enough power, a fixed date, and an audience a few metres from the source. Or a specification that rules out noise and fumes near the stages.
- Usual duration
- From a few days to a few weeks, build-up and break-down included.
- Hire unit
- By the week or by the event.
What you need to know
- Build-up and break-down are inside the hire period, not alongside it: the battery arrives before your technical crews and leaves after them.
- The consumption profile of an event is very uneven: short peaks when the doors open, almost nothing overnight. This is the case where a battery earns its keep the most, and it is also the one where sizing has to be discussed beforehand, not on site.
- On a site with no grid, recharging between two days has to be in the schedule, exactly like the deliveries.
Supply in five stages
- 01
The call
Who: You and our hire manager
What: You describe what you need to power, over what period, and with what connection already in place. In that same conversation we tell you whether this is a case for a hired battery, or a case for something else.
- 02
The survey
Who: Our engineer, on site or from drawings
What: Heavy goods vehicle access, ground bearing capacity, available footprint, means of unloading, distance to the connection point. On a straightforward site, a drawing and photographs are enough.
- 03
The delivery
Who: Our haulier
What: The equipment arrives, it is unloaded and set down in the agreed position. The outgoing condition report is signed at that moment.
- 04
The connection
Who: Our engineer, with your electrician
What: Connection, energisation, checking of protective devices, load test. You leave with the procedure to follow and the number to call.
- 05
The collection
Who: Us
What: De-energisation, disconnection, removal, incoming condition report. The hire ends when the equipment is collected, not when you call.
When it is not the right answer
For an event that already runs on the existing supply without an outage or a trip, a battery adds nothing.
