Facility Power and Electrical

Two families: uninterruptible power supplies that protect equipment from mains failures and poor supply quality, and the motors, gearbox motors and drive units that power conveyors and process machinery. Both are bought mainly by maintenance and facilities teams rather than production specialists. Start from the sub-category that matches your need and filter by rating.

Yes, provided it is inspected and tested before connection. A used UPS needs its batteries checked or replaced and its transfer function tested; a used motor needs an insulation resistance test and a bearing check. Have a competent electrician commission anything used before it carries load, and ask the seller for any test records with the sale.

For a UPS, add up the load in watts or VA of everything it must carry and the runtime you need at that load. For a motor, read the plate of the unit being replaced: power, speed, frame size, voltage and mounting. Photograph the plate and quote it in your enquiry so the seller can confirm the match.

Most of it palletises easily, small UPS units and motors ship by courier, and larger three phase UPS systems travel on a pallet network. Delivery terms sit with each seller, so confirm packaging, insurance and lead time when you enquire. For heavy floor standing systems, agree offloading responsibilities before despatch.

Qualifying listings on Machinery Masters can be financed, which suits projects where several items are bought at once, a UPS installation with batteries, or a set of spare gearmotors for a line. Eligibility is shown on each listing, and the application starts from the listing page.
