Advante Basildon based Advante used the recent Plantworx event to cut the


ribbon on its new Vision Solar Access cabin. The Vision Solar Access unit is the first of its kind, in offering fully


accessible ‘instant start’ 2+1 toilet facilities to UK construction sites. Specifically, this self-contained toilet block includes a two-bay toilet


area with two urinals, which is accessed by a short staircase. The unit also features a single full access toilet with a ramp and an automatic door system. Vision Solar Access is compliant with Building Regulations for


disabled access and each cabin is powered by Advante’s Oasis Solar hybrid technology, ensuring sustainable deployment and lower emissions on site.

MHM MHM has been pushing the benefits of solar energy and hybrid


technology for some time now, its MGTP 20 SHG-5 unit combining an array of high efficiency PV panels, lithium-ion batteries and a stage 5, HVO compatible Yanmar engine to produce 20kVA of power in all conditions. The rugged unit is a natural fit for temporary power applications,


such as frequently found on busy jobsites. Its auto self-charging function enables extended running, and the system is entirely able to operate autonomously. Other features include full bunding, forklift pockets and MHM’s own engine shutdown system, which quickly kicks in when fuel and oil pressure are low, or in the event of high engine temperature or battery charge failure. The MGTP 20 SHG-5 has fuel efficiency built in and CO2


emissions are likewise reduced. However, users can also track performance and GPS telemetry. Lastly, the unit easily connects to external fuel talks, further extending operating time.

LIFOS The substantial LIFOS ‘Fort’ energy storage unit garnered much attention at the 2023 Executive Hire


Show, although the company also produces battery devices better suited to smaller domestic and commercial requirements. With its built in 3.4kW solar array and upgradeable battery support, LIFOS Fort is powerful enough


to provide infrastructure and construction site support, as well as being highly suitable for festivals, sporting events and other outdoor or remote activities. Small enough to fit into a kitchen cupboard or utility base unit, LIFOS ‘Core’ would work well


in small and mid-sized workshop settings. The unit is based around lithium-ion phosphate technology, with an intelligent battery management system and the ability to pair with any hybrid inverter – likewise the system works with or without solar panel support.
