Central Power Services

Preston-headquartered emergency power specialist, Central Power Services (CPS), has invested over £750,000 in the acquisition of four Stage V generators and two new generator delivery vehicles, as part of its ambitious growth plans.

The investment supports the company’s strategy of expanding its market-leading services nationwide.

 The two state-of-the-art Scania crane-mounted trucks will enable CPS to continue to maintain full control of delivery and offloading of generators of all sizes nationwide, as the company expands.

The vehicles join CPS’s extensive fleet based across the company’s three strategic locations, which allow it to efficiently deliver large pieces of equipment and respond quickly to emergency requirements right around the clock.

The new vehicles also meet current and forthcoming clean air zone requirements in major cities such as London and Manchester.

The business, which has passed the ISO14001 audit, is committed to the highest levels of environmental responsibility in the back-up power sector. 

 The four new Stage V FG Wilson Pro 20-4 generators represent the latest in low-emissions diesel generator technology.

With near-zero particulate emissions, the units are ideally suited for inner-city applications and comply with the latest UK and EU regulations.

As part of the investment, all CPS engineers are also undergoing advanced training on Stage V generator maintenance, conducted by FG Wilson. 

 Stuart Brakewell, managing director of CPS, said: “The investment in the new delivery vehicles and Stage V generators forms part of our future-proofing plans as we grow, as well as a reaffirmation of our commitment to delivering the best possible service and level of choice to our customers. 

 “All our equipment is at the very cutting-edge of performance and reliability; these new generators allow us to cater specifically to customers for whom sustainability is a top priority too.

"At the same time, the trucks will significantly bolster our delivery fleet, ensuring we can continue to quickly and effectively deliver critical backup power to organisations in need, often within hours, when every second counts."
