Under the initial 18-month agreement, which has scope to be extended, Nixon Hire will be the only UK hire company able to offer Infinity Cube Europe’s Pro range of large battery storage units. The investment covers 14 units, six of which have already been deployed on customer sites, with eight more due later in October. A further four units are expected by the end of the year.
The Infinity Cube S Pro, M Pro and L Pro offer 200kW, 300kW and 550kW of energy storage respectively. Units can be linked to create larger battery systems as a site’s needs grow, while each can coordinate up to three generators, rotating their use to help align maintenance visits.
Early trials show the range of demands Infinity Cube batteries can meet. On a major battery storage project, an L Pro supplied power to 106 modular office bays, four welfare cabins, and washing blocks (all supplied by Nixon Hire) in addition to supporting construction loads. In another trial, an M Pro handled the full power demand of a tower crane, while an M Pro also supplied the training-ground kitchens of a Premier League football club.
In less than a month, a customer using an Infinity Cube M Pro reported the following savings:
13,000+ litres of fuel
£20,900+ in fuel costs
33.8+ tonnes of CO2 emissions
The fleet is remotely monitored by Nixon Hire’s Renewable Energy Hub, whose technical specialists help customers track and optimise performance throughout a project. Data from the new units is also available through Pulse, Nixon Hire’s customer portal, giving users real time visibility of energy consumption, usage trends and savings.
“Over several years, we have invested in renewable energy to help customers run sites more efficiently and reduce fuel use” said Brian Cornett, CEO of Nixon Hire. “The Infinity range builds on that work, extending our battery offer to larger projects and allowing us to supply higher-capacity power alongside the modular buildings and site accommodation those projects need. We are proud to be Infinity Cube Europe’s exclusive UK hire partner. The early trials have shown the difference these units can make, and as the fleet expands, we look forward to more customers seeing those benefits on their own sites.”
