IAPA Award: Opportunities in the Access Market

A white Tecnogera truck is parked on a cobblestone street, with its side open revealing electrical control panels inside. Displaying the Tecnogera logo and contact information, the image highlights opportunities in the access market, with sunlit buildings in the background.

The IAPA 2025 awards will be held in Dublin, recognizing innovative companies in the access market across 13 categories. Tecnogera is a finalist in innovative technology and sustainability, focusing on electric aerial work platforms and lithium batteries. The key differentiator is the repurposing of end-of-life batteries for energy storage, creating a cleaner operation. The company introduced the largest hybrid platform in Latin America, reaching 51 meters in height.

Tecnogera introduces a solution for battery disposal and reuse

A medium-sized Tecnogera truck with an orange and white cab carries a compact battery energy storage system on its bed. The equipment features details like air vents, a door, and warnings about battery reuse. The vehicle is parked against a light, neutral background.

Tecnogera has developed the Mobile Battery Energy Storage System that repurposes end-of-life lithium cells for temporary power solutions. The system replaces diesel generators, delivering clean, emission-free energy via a 100% electric truck. It was developed with an investment of R$ 1 million and 500 engineering hours, debuting at the 27th Tiradentes Film Festival by providing 1 MWh of clean energy.

Advantages of Lithium Batteries for Aerial Platforms

The machine's arm is raised, and in the background, a building with red and white panels is visible. This is yet another efficient solution from Tecnogera for working at heights.

Lithium batteries in aerial platforms offer fast charging, better performance, lower operating costs, and longer lifespan. They provide significant environmental benefits by eliminating pollutant gas emissions, unlike diesel models that emit 2.6 kg of CO2 per liter of fuel. Platforms with lithium batteries allow continuous operation in shifts, short-interval charging, and maximum productivity with sustainability.

Why Use Solar Lighting Towers in Your Operation?

Solar lighting towers harness energy from the sun using photovoltaic panels and store it in battery banks, ensuring autonomy even on cloudy days. They deliver 4,000W of power through LED floodlights, enhancing productivity, safety, mobility, and environmental benefits without emitting pollutants. Ideal for mining, construction, events, agriculture, roads, and various operations requiring large-scale lighting.

Scissor Lift: Operational Agility

A red scissor lift is elevated inside a spacious modern industrial warehouse with exposed beams. On the left, there's an overlaid yellow L, and in the lower right corner, the Tecnogera logo appears. The image stands out for its high contrast and vivid colors.

Scissor lifts are vertical elevation equipment designed for indoor tasks up to 20 meters. They’re ideal for renovations, painting, electrical repairs, and maintenance. Electric models offer the same efficiency as combustion ones, with added benefits like indoor use, quick lithium battery charging, and a convenient ‘grab and go’ style.

Energy Transition and Aerial Platforms

In the image, two orange aerial work platforms from Tecnogera are positioned on a paved surface, with beautiful hills and wind turbines in the background, symbols of the energy transition. One platform is a scissor lift with the platform raised; the other is an articulating boom lift with the arm extended upwards.

The energy transition encourages the shift from polluting sources to a renewable, low-carbon energy matrix. In the aerial platform market, this shift has led to investment in electric equipment with lithium batteries. These platforms offer the same operational capacity as fuel-powered models, with added benefits such as operation in low temperatures and fast charging.

Industrial UPS vs. Power Generator: Understand the Differences

differences between industrial UPS and power generator

Both industrial UPS and power generators ensure high-quality electrical supply but operate differently. A UPS uses an internal battery bank that charges automatically, providing almost instant power with limited autonomy, regulating voltage and purity to prevent damaging surges. A generator offers unlimited autonomy as long as it has fuel, is large-scale with high power, ideal for long periods but takes time to reach optimal operation. They can be combined: the UPS acts instantly during failures while the generator prepares, then the UPS shuts down and batteries recharge. This combination completely eliminates interruptions.

Power generator maintenance: types and how to perform

Preventive maintenance of generators is essential to preserve lifespan and ensure performance. Routines divided into specific periods: daily (fuel/oil levels, general inspection), weekly (drainage, battery, filters), monthly (connections, belts, cooling), semiannual (hoses, filter replacement) and annual (complete cleaning). It should only be performed by specialized professionals to avoid irreparable damage.

The Importance of Load Banks for the Data Center Market

The largest data center in the world spans 102,000 m² in Chicago (one of 1,500 in the U.S.). Data centers require uninterrupted power for processing, storage, lighting, and constant climate control. Load banks are essential during commissioning, testing generators, transformers, UPS, batteries, air conditioning systems, and other critical equipment. Tecnogera supplied 3 MVA of power and 6000 MW in load banks for the ODATA data center (R$ 400 million) in Santana de Parnaíba. The Latin American market moved US$ 2.87 billion in 2017 (Brazil: 47.6%), with projections reaching US$ 4.37 billion by 2021, generating high demand for temporary power.

How does a load bank for UPS work?

Anyone working in an office or owning a computer at home has likely heard of a UPS, an uninterruptible power supply that regulates the voltage and purity of the power reaching computers and other electronic devices and industrial equipment connected to it. The load bank for UPS is a system that allows the coupling of resistive electrical loads to power generators or battery banks, ensuring continuous power supply and preventing failures.
