HPS Installs Hydraulic Generator on Genie Z45

Sales and Service company Access Platform Sales recently sold a reconditioned Genie Z45 to a steel erection company, we were asked to retrofit one of our hydraulic generators onto the unit. The Z45 is perhaps one of the more compact units on the market and with space to locate the generator extremely limited, locating the set was actually the biggest issue, however after much thought a suitable position was found and we installed, tested and commissioned the unit on site. The unit fitted was a 3.5kVa 110v CTE generator.

Having had the opportunity to actually install the unit, we are now pleased to advise that we can now offer a complete supply, installation and commissioning service for our hydraulic generators, please call 0203 286 7476 or email us at info@hydraulicgenerators.co.uk for further details

Another New Addition to the HPS Platform PowerPack Range

HPS has recently completed the development of a new hydraulic generator to compliment its existing range. The new unit is designed to provide platform power for smaller scissors and booms where the hydraulic flow rate is insufficient to drive our existing models. It uses a 3.9cc per rev gear motor which means that the hydraulic flow required to provide AC power is now only approximately 12 litres per minute so that platforms such as the Genie Z45 and Niftylift HR21 can now generate power to the platform with the engine running at idle speed, thereby reducing fuel consumption, engine wear and tear, noise levels and emissions.

A New Platform PowerPack for the Variable Displacement Gear Pump

The HPS Platform Powerpack is a purpose built onboard hydraulic generator solution, designed specifically for the Powered Access Industry. We are delighted to introduce a unit suited to an extensive range of both Scissors and Booms that operate with variable displacement load sensing pumps. The manifold incorporates all of the required valves to allow the generator to operate without the need for any other component parts and an installation kit is available for certain models.

The Platform Powerpack is supplied for UK use with an 110V CTE (centre tapped to earth) generator as standard, and for additional protection we supply RCBO protection at the base of the platform, this prevents the scissor or boom becoming live in the event of an earth fault in the cabling between the chassis and basket.  If there is fault with the tools or equipment being used, the operator is protected. The generator can be mounted in any convenient location, fully weather proof and can be mounted vertically if required.

Units can be supplied in a range of outputs from 2 – 6 kVa, single or three phase, 50 and 60 Hz as well as a range of welder / generators. One of the key advantages of the HPS Platform Powerpack is that within this range the manifold and valves are common on all units. The units are virtually maintenance free and come with a two year warranty as standard on parts and labour.

The HPS Platform Power Pack provides a truly universal Power solution for the Access Platform industry. It’s easy to install, easy to maintain, safe and readily available.  Visit Hydraulic Power Solutions  or telephone 0203 286 7476 for further information.

There is a full range of cabin power with fantastic long run options. One example is the 3000rpm "New Boy" generator, which is among the quietest and most compact water cooled diesel generator in the market today. This makes it ideal for Welfare units, Site Cabins, Catering Trailers etc. All Generators are available with a choice of bespoke modifications.  There is also a more compact, lighter weight easy to maintain diesel generator also ideal for cabin use.
