News Item: Instagrid Launches Network Rail Approved Portable Power for the UK Market – GO RAIL

Instagrid, a leading provider of advanced portable power solutions, has announced the launch of GO RAIL, a Network Rail-approved adaptation of its popular 110V Instagrid GO product, now available in the UK.

The UK operates one of the most extensive rail networks in the world, spanning over 30,000 miles of track and over 20,000 bridges. Maintaining and upgrading this infrastructure often requires work in remote locations with limited access to grid power, as well as overnight operations near residential or environmentally sensitive areas. These challenges demand innovative, low-impact solutions, and Instagrid’s GO RAIL delivers exactly that.

Already a proven solution in UK construction, events, and film industries, Instagrid’s portable power systems have seen thousands of units deployed across the country since they entered the UK market in 2023. The GO RAIL model brings these benefits to the rail sector, offering:

  • High Performance: Peak power of 18,000W and 2.1 kWh capacity, capable of running demanding equipment such as hand tools, pumps, lighting, and welding equipment.
  • Sustainable, Silent Power: No exhaust fumes, no emissions, zero noise, a distinct advantage for users requiring power in tunnels, environmentally sensitive areas, near residential areas and night work.
  • Rail-Ready Design: Compliant with UK rail requirements, GO RAIL features a distinctive yellow casing and all relevant certifications.
  • Smart Technology: A patented digital control system manages features including energy distribution and temperature across 144 lithium-ion battery cells for maximum efficiency and safety.
  • Connected and Trackable: Built-in IoT enables real-time tracking and usage analytics.
  • Portable & Practical: Weighing just 21kg, GO RAIL is hand portable, and operates in extreme temperatures from -20°C to +40°C.
  • Scalable Power: The optional GO RAIL LINK system allows up to three units to be connected for extended capacity and runtime, with hot swapping as standard, the LINK system can support longer operations or more power-demanding equipment

    • Receiving official approval by Network Rail in December 2025, GO RAIL underwent a rigorous review and testing process to meet the highest safety and performance standards – receiving all certifications for approved use on the Uk’s Rail Network. This milestone positions Instagrid as a trusted partner for rail contractors seeking reliable, portable and sustainable power on-site.

    Instagrid’s GO Rail has also been added to Network Rail’s Controlled Catalogue (PADS catalogue) making it easier for companies and engineers to order and request the GO RAIL Product.

    GO RAIL will be available from February 2026. To learn more, request a demo, or enquire about purchasing, visit GO RAIL.
