As more businesses across all industries experience the effects of outages and costly downtime, the value of backup power solutions is coming to the forefront.
Some businesses want solutions that ensure equipment such as refrigerators and air conditioning units remain operational during an outage. Others, have critical operations that cannot afford any downtime. Sometimes, even seconds could lead to significant consequences, losses and non-compliance issues.
While UPS solutions are often installed permanently on-site, that is not always the case. UPS solutions are now being applied to scenarios where reliable temporary or emergency power is required in the form of UPS trailer systems. These portable UPS units take mobile power solutions to the next level, providing power when it’s needed and removed when that power source is no longer necessary.
What Are UPS Trailer Systems?
A UPS trailer system is just as it sounds—a trailer that integrates uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment into an existing building or critical site. These systems are used to provide temporary mobile power. They are incredibly versatile, offering reliable backup power for as long as the customer needs it.
For some critical facilities, this system is invaluable when upgrading the existing power infrastructure without worrying about operations shutting down. There are also unique scenarios, such as the custom development of two 1200 kW high-powered lithium-ion UPS backup battery mobile trailers for the Super Bowl.

Benefits of Using UPS Trailer Systems
Here are some of the main benefits of investing in a UPS trailer system:
- If you plan on performing equipment upgrades or switchovers, a UPS trailer can provide the temporary power you need to ensure zero downtime.
- In the event of an outage, a UPS trailer system can help you get up and running and protect your equipment and data.
- When planning upgrades and power loss is possible, a UPS trailer can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
- This is an ideal solution if you are scaling your business or expanding operations into an area without a reliable power supply, such as oil and gas drilling sites or construction sites.
- This solution reduces the complexities of reliable, temporary power. Installation and implementation are major selling points, as these systems are already professionally engineered and tested.
- It eliminates the need for on-site construction to house power supply equipment, reducing your company’s UPS environmental footprint. It also helps save space, as it is removed when no longer needed.
- When you find the right partner, you can take advantage of a custom UPS trailer system designed for your unique needs and goals.
Applications of UPS Trailer Systems
The benefits of a portable and self-contained temporary power backup power source are vast, and they apply to many industries and use cases.
Here are some examples:
- Data Centers — To protect data and remain compliant, data centers use UPS trailer systems during the maintenance of existing UPS or when making electrical system upgrades. They may also be used to backup new loads that exceed the current UPS capacity in the building.
- Hospitals and Medical Facilities — If a hospital or other healthcare facility is awaiting the arrival of a newly ordered UPS system or is waiting for installation, this system ensures no downtime. In these cases, an outage could be life-threatening.
- Government and Utilities — Ideal when making system modifications or conducting project overruns. Communications and essential systems will continue running while protecting equipment.
- Construction and Manufacturing — Implemented when uncertainty surrounds final power requirements or during start-up/development periods.
- Banking and Financial — A UPS trailer is often crucial in an emergency or disaster recovery situation.
Regardless of the industry, a UPS trailer system is an excellent investment when scenarios require reliable, short-term power. Whether you’re replacing an old system, responding to an emergency or require a fast backup for increased power capacity, UPS trailer options exist for you.
