POWERSHIFT TECHNOLOGIES

What POWERSHIFT TECHNOLOGIES does

Powershift Technologies Pty Ltd is an Australian privately held company that operates a rental fleet of mobile battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a cleaner alternative to diesel generators for temporary power applications. The company's products span four series — POWRBANK MAX (600kWh large-scale, parallelable to 2.4MWh), Enertainer/APEX (large-scale construction/industrial), LX/MX (compact 30–60kVA), and CP/eGEN (compact plug-and-play for high-peak machinery) — all based on lithium-ion (LFP/NMC) chemistry with onboard advanced control systems that manage multi-source inputs (solar, grid, generator), enable regenerative power capture, and integrate cloud-based 24/7 remote monitoring.

The company serves enterprise customers across construction, manufacturing, grid support/utilities, agriculture, and tourism/event verticals in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. Named deployments include Buildcorp, McNab, Evoenergy, Jetcharge, Stockland, Downer Group NZ, and Delorean Corporation, with case studies documenting up to 75% fuel savings, 75% CO2 reductions, and generator run-time reductions of up to 93%. Powershift holds certifications across AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 4777.2, IEC 62619, IP54/IP65, and Clean Energy Council inverter approval.

The business operates on a fully managed hire/Energy-as-a-Service model with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Customers engage through direct sales (website contact forms, dedicated AU and NZ phone lines) or via the NES Hire partnership in New Zealand. Revenue is generated through rental fees tied to system size, application, and hire duration, bundling delivery, commissioning, training, monitoring, and maintenance. The company is led by CEO Sandra Brodie and operates without disclosed external funding rounds or parent entity.

Revenue model

1. Mobile Battery Rental/Hire: Rental fleet of mobile battery energy storage systems available for short or long-term hire. Fully managed hire service includes upfront analysis, system setup, delivery, commissioning/decommissioning, user training, 24/7 monitoring, and maintenance. Revenue generated through rental fees based on system size, application, and equipment powered.
2. Energy-as-a-Service: Subscription-like model providing access to mobile battery solutions backed by advanced monitoring and expert team support to optimize project outcomes. Customers pay for power access rather than equipment ownership.

Core offering

Powershift rents a fleet of mobile lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a fully managed hire service, delivering cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective temporary power as a direct alternative to diesel generators. The fleet spans four product families — POWRBANK MAX, Enertainer/APEX, LX/MX, and CP/eGEN — covering capacities from compact 30kVA units up to paralleled 1.6MW/2.4MWh systems, with cloud-based remote monitoring, multi-source charging (solar, grid, genset), and on-site commissioning, training, and 24/7 support included.

Product overview

Powershift Technologies offers a rental fleet of mobile battery energy storage systems designed as cleaner, smarter alternatives to diesel generators. The product portfolio includes four distinct series: POWRBANK MAX (high-capacity 600kWh system for large-scale commercial, industrial, and grid applications), Enertainer and APEX Series (large-scale systems for construction sites and heavy industrial equipment with 400A-595A continuous power), CP and eGEN Series (compact plug-and-play units for high peak machinery like cranes and hoists with up to 440A peak from minimal 8-32A input), and LX and MX Series (versatile compact units in 30kVA/75kWh and 60kVA/125kWh configurations for site power, remote offices, and events). All systems support flexible charging from grid, solar, or generators and feature cloud-based remote monitoring. The company operates on an energy-as-a-service rental model across Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Islands.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Aggreko: Global leader in temporary power rental with extensive battery storage and hybrid genset solutions. Most direct peer to Powershift as it serves construction, industrial, and utility customers with mobile power including mobile BESS — directly competing for the same projects.

Others

• Saft (TotalEnergies): French battery manufacturer specializing in industrial and stationary energy storage. Comparable as a technology supplier in the BESS ecosystem; Powershift may use similar lithium-ion cell technology in its fleet.
• EnerSys: Global industrial battery manufacturer with energy storage solutions for grid, commercial, and industrial applications. Comparable as a BESS technology ecosystem participant serving similar use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Coates Hire: Australia's largest equipment rental company with a national branch network serving construction, industrial, and infrastructure. Comparable to Powershift in customer overlap and geographic reach, though primarily focused on traditional equipment rather than specialist mobile BESS.
• Kennards Hire: Major Australian equipment rental company with extensive branch network and broad customer base in construction and trades. A potential competitive threat as it could expand into mobile BESS given its existing relationships and capital base.
• Atlas Copco Power Rental: Global industrial equipment manufacturer with a power rental division offering temporary power solutions including battery-hybrid systems. Comparable as a major incumbent in temporary power rental space serving similar industrial and construction customers.
• Tesla Energy (Megapack/Powerwall): Tesla's energy storage division offers stationary BESS products for utility and commercial customers. Comparable technology stack (lithium-ion BESS) and increasingly relevant in the same utility and commercial storage market Powershift serves, though not specifically mobile/rental.

Regional players

• Sunbelt Rentals: North America's largest equipment rental company with growing power generation and climate control offerings. Comparable in scale and customer type to Powershift, though primarily serving North American rather than Australian/NZ markets.

Emerging players

• EcoFlow: Portable and mobile battery power solutions provider with products ranging from consumer to commercial-scale. Adjacent competitor in mobile battery space with overlapping use cases in construction, events, and off-grid power.
• RedEarth Energy Storage: Australian battery energy storage company focused on commercial and industrial applications. Comparable as another Australian-headquartered BESS provider targeting similar commercial/industrial customers, though more focused on stationary systems than mobile rental.
