In February 2009, Alpha Industrial Power was contacted by a utility service provider in California. As part of the design and implementation of several portable sub-stations to be housed in small tractor trailers, the service provider required a compact and secure system to manage their battery banks.

Launched in December 2008, the AlphaRac industrial battery rack system was the ideal solution. These racks are polyethylene powder-coated steel, providing durability, strength, electrical insulation and acid resistance. When combined with optional components, AlphaRac systems can be upgraded to meet the Uniform Building Code for Seismic Zones 1-4. With a large inventory of racks in stock, Alpha Industrial Power was able to recommend a solution that could ship immediately.

Our Application Engineers were able to develop the optimal and economical solution for the utility service, providing four AlphaRac systems with three different rack configurations. These systems provided the necessary battery storage space with a small footprint and the safety features they required, in the necessary timeframe.
