With the LPS power solution it was possible to replace the old petrol-powered hand tools with new battery powered equivalents. Petrol-powered hand tools create a lot of noise. In addition, the constant fumes create an unpleasant working environment for the operator. Removing the fumes and noise has gone down well with the communities in which ENWL operate.

When ENWL first transitioned to battery powered tools, they relied upon the vehicles engine running in order to recharge their batteries. When they found out about the LPS, they quickly had the fleet retrofitted with a system which allows them to recharge all of their batteries without having to idle the engine. Roadside working with zero emissions.
“We have no problems with charging the batteries. They are charged without the vehicle running while we are at work”, says Peter Raven, Grounds Maintenance Delivery Manager.

Mark Hayhurst, Grounds Operative at ENWL states “The charging system that we have in the van is fantastic, I’ve never had a moment where I’ve run out of charge”. Being able to move to battery powered tools has a multitude of benefits for the operator. The equipment is lighter, quieter and doesn’t emit any nasty fumes. All of this makes for a happier and healthier working environment for Mark and his colleagues.
