The Makinex Portable Power Box (PPB)

Makinex is leading the charge in sustainable energy solutions as it celebrates its 20th anniversary with the launch of its groundbreaking Portable Power Box (PPB).

As companies and consumers worldwide shift towards environmentally friendly energy, the PPB emerges as a game-changing invention in clean and green power.

Global energy consumption is rising, affecting the construction industry, as energy costs sometimes reach 5% of project budgets. With rising diesel prices, contractors are looking for alternatives, and the energy-efficient PPB provides a low-cost, user-friendly answer.

Makinex’s Portable Power Box (PPB) combines efficiency, simplicity, portability, and durability, including:

  • Impressive Capacity: 6kw of output power combined with up to 15kWh of storage meets rigorous energy requirements.
  • Rapid Charging: Recharges in just seven hours, increasing on-site efficiency.
  • User-Friendly Design: The features include a sturdy frame for easy storage and maneuverability.
  • Advanced Safety Features: This IP44-rated item has RCD protection, thermal overload protection, and weather resistance, ensuring reliability and durability for a long operational life.
  • Versatile Charging Options: Works with 240V mains or solar PV.
  • Multiple Connection Options: Includes 3x15A outlets and 2x5V USB-A outlets.
  • Indoor Friendly: Suitable for usage in restricted environments.

Consumers are wanting green solutions. According to recent research, more than 75% of US customers value a sustainable lifestyle, and studies demonstrate that products with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) claims outperform competitors. Using environmentally sensitive technology, such as the PPB, can also help companies improve their reputation with regulators, suppliers, and employees.

John Stewart, CEO of Makinex, believes the PPB is a big step toward sustainable portable power for the construction industry.

“The Portable Power Box is revolutionary – a noise free, fuel free, emissions free portable solution. Construction companies are facing more environmental challenges than ever before – regulatory bodies are tightening restrictions on carbon emissions, and customers are demanding renewable solutions.

Our future-first tools like the PPB are crucial for businesses, big or small, in the industry – the investment is an accessible and affordable way to lower costs and reduce our environmental impact. It’s a win-win for industry and for the planet.”
