UPS and Critical Power for Transport

Keep road, rail, airports and ports running

✓ UPS for control and passenger systems

✓ Cooling for comms and equipment rooms

✓ Supply, installation and maintenance

Transport networks move people and goods around the clock, and their control, communications and passenger systems cannot stop. UPS Solutions supplies, installs and maintains UPS systems, cooling and power protection for road, rail, aviation and maritime operations across Australia.

Since 2002 • 100,000+ UPS units supported • 24/7 support

Why reliable power matters for Transport

Transport networks move people and goods around the clock, and their control, communications and passenger systems cannot stop. Operations centres, signalling, tunnels and passenger information all depend on power, and equipment is often spread along a network in rooms that are hard to reach.

UPS Solutions supplies, installs and maintains UPS systems, cooling and power protection for road, rail, aviation and maritime operations across Australia. We support multiple sites along a network, with remote monitoring that gives early warning of faults, and maintenance and emergency support that keep services moving.

What we protect

Critical systems we protect for Transport

How power reaches the systems that keep transport running, and what we put in its path so a dip, spike or outage never reaches them.

  1. Network supplyGrid power into control centres, signalling and stations along the network.
  2. Surge and voltage protectionClamps spikes and smooths out voltage swings before they reach control systems.
  3. UPS and batteriesCarry the load through dips and outages, with a generator for longer runtime.
  4. Your critical systemsKeep running on clean, steady power.
  • Control and operations centres

    Facilities that run the network in real time.

  • Signalling and traffic systems

    Systems that keep traffic moving safely.

  • Passenger information and ticketing

    Displays, gates and ticketing systems.

  • Tunnels and ventilation controls

    Safety systems for road and rail tunnels.

  • Communications

    Radio, network and CCTV along the network.

  • Vessel and fleet systems

    Workstations and controls for maritime and fleet operations.

When the power drops

What happens when the power drops on a transport network

The same outage plays out very differently with and without the right protection in place.

Without protection
With UPS Solutions
01The supply drops
Control centres and signalling systems drop out.
The UPS takes over straight away, so control and signalling stay on.
02Seconds later
Passenger information, ticketing and comms go down.
Passenger information, comms and tunnel controls keep running on battery.
03Minutes later
Services stop or slow and passengers are left without information.
A generator picks up longer outages and services keep moving.
04Power returns
Restart surges can damage equipment, then systems need checking before service resumes.
Power is handed back smoothly and the restart surge is filtered out.
FAQs

Transport power protection FAQs

Common questions about UPS and power protection for transport.

What needs UPS protection in transport?

Control and operations centres, communications, passenger information and ticketing, traffic and tunnel systems, and the IT that runs them.

Have you worked in the transport sector?

Yes, including Marand, across aviation, rail and marine. See our projects.

Can you support sites along a network, not just one building?

Yes. We supply and maintain UPS systems across multiple sites, from operations centres to equipment rooms along a network.

Can you monitor our UPS remotely?

Yes. Our remote monitoring service keeps watch on UPS systems and batteries and alerts you to issues.

Do you maintain UPS systems after installation?

Yes. We offer preventative maintenance, battery replacement and emergency support, with phones answered 24 hours, 7 days. See our preventative maintenance services.
