Mobile battery energy storage specialist Allye Energy has secured its largest purchase order to date: five MAX500 battery energy storage systems for deployment in the construction industry.
The MAX500 systems (500 kWh, 420 kW each) will charge zero-emission construction equipment and vehicles at locations where grid constraints and site logistics make fixed charging impractical.
Construction sites often face severe grid constraints, and heavy equipment such as excavators cannot be readily transported to distant charging points. Allye’s mobile battery systems bring charging infrastructure directly to equipment on-site.
“The MAX500 solves one of construction electrification’s most challenging problems: keeping heavy equipment charged and productive across sprawling sites,” said Alistair McNeil, COO of Allye Energy. “Our mobile battery systems bring charging infrastructure to the equipment, maintaining productivity whilst eliminating emissions.”
“The MAX500 systems from Allye offer mobile, zero-emission energy storage that helps construction sites overcome grid constraints whilst maintaining operational uptime,” said Josh Wright, CEO of Vital Power Group, Allye’s distribution partner. “Once deployed on our customers’ sites, the units will be fully supported by our comprehensive maintenance packages.”
The MAX500 is the first system in Allye’s range to feature DC fast recharging, enabling rapid replenishment from 20-80% state of charge in approximately one hour. This capability enables systems to recharge from any public DC fast charger or, for large-scale projects, to recharge each other in the field.
“By enabling our systems to rapidly recharge from DC sources—whether public infrastructure or other battery units—we’ve created a dynamic energy ecosystem that adapts to the complex logistics of large construction sites,” said Jonathan Carrier, founder and CEO at Allye Energy. “This capability will be rolled out across our entire MAX range.”
Allye Energy now offers four battery energy storage systems, tailored to different applications:
- MAX300 (~300 kWh, 280 kW): a mobile, trailer-mounted system weighing under 3.5 tonnes with minimal ADR requirements. Suitable for construction sites, film and TV production, events and temporary power applications.
- MAX500 (~500 kWh, 420 kW): offers an optimal balance of capacity, power and mobility for construction applications, featuring integrated DC fast recharging capability.
- MAX1000 (~1 MWh, 840 kW): a high-capacity system for grid-tied EV charging hubs, manufacturing facilities and construction sites requiring sustained high-power delivery.
- MAX1500 (~1.5 MWh, 1.25 MW): Allye’s flagship ‘drop and go’ system deployable in under two minutes using a hook loader. Suitable for on-grid and off-grid applications including data centers, ports and industrial electrification.
