Emergency 20kVA Riello UPS Hire for Hospital Theatre
Project Overview
YorPower was contacted after the existing UPS supporting a hospital theatre failed, leaving the customer in urgent need of temporary backup power.
Although the site was not under contract with YorPower, our team responded immediately. The customer had already been let down by another supplier, making a fast and dependable solution essential.
To meet the requirement, YorPower supplied a temporary 20kVA Riello UPS system to support the hospital theatre.
The Requirement
The customer required an emergency UPS rental & hire solution that could be mobilised quickly and provide reliable power protection for a critical healthcare environment.
The scope included:
- Temporary 20kVA Riello UPS system
- Rapid assessment of the customer’s requirements
- Immediate mobilisation to site
- Installation by experienced UPS engineers
- Reliable backup power for the hospital theatre
With the existing UPS out of operation, minimising delays was a priority.
YorPower UPS Solution
The YorPower UPS team quickly assessed the situation, confirmed the site requirements and identified a suitable 20kVA Riello hire UPS.
Once the solution had been agreed, YorPower UPS engineers Jack and Oscar collected the hire unit from YorPower’s headquarters. They then drove four hours directly to the hospital, ensuring they were ready to begin the installation first thing the following morning.
This rapid mobilisation demonstrated YorPower’s ability to respond effectively to emergency requirements, even when a customer does not have an existing service or maintenance contract.
Installation and Commissioning
Jack and Oscar arrived on site prepared to install and commission the temporary 20kVA Riello UPS system.
By coordinating the equipment selection, collection, transportation and installation within a highly compressed timeframe, YorPower provided the urgent support the customer had previously been unable to secure elsewhere.
All work was approached with the professionalism and care required when operating within a critical hospital environment.
The Outcome
YorPower delivered a fast and reliable emergency UPS hire solution, providing the hospital theatre with dependable backup power protection.
Despite having no existing contract with the customer, the team took ownership of the situation and acted quickly to mobilise the correct equipment and engineering support.
The project demonstrated YorPower UPS’ ability to respond to urgent requirements while maintaining high standards of communication, technical support and customer service.
Conclusion
This emergency hire project highlights YorPower’s experience in providing temporary UPS solutions for critical healthcare applications.
Through rapid decision-making, immediate access to suitable hire equipment and the commitment of engineers Jack and Oscar, YorPower supplied the customer with the 20kVA Riello UPS system required to protect its hospital theatre.
