Trenchless Works previews Renset® ahead of No-Dig Live 2026

On 26 August 2026, the trade publication Trenchless Works published an article on Renset® and the utility sector's net zero transition. This archive item summarises what the piece reported at the time.

What Trenchless Works reported

The article was a preview for No-Dig Live 2026, the UK trenchless and no-dig exhibition. It said Steve Vick International would show the Renset® portable power station on Stand G20. It described the unit as a way to supply site power without petrol or diesel generators, for example in urban areas, remote locations and environmentally sensitive sites.

According to the article, the system has a rated output of up to 5 kW and a peak of up to 10 kW. It said the unit is available in 110 V and 240 V configurations and can run equipment from handheld tools to heavier site applications. The article also reported zero on-site emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides during operation.

Trenchless Works highlighted the swappable LiFePO4 battery modules. It said a depleted module can be exchanged in seconds, so crews can keep working without waiting for a recharge. It also pointed to IP54 protection for rain, mud and rough handling, and to operating noise of under 30 dB. In its words, this could reduce disturbance in residential and noise-sensitive locations.

On the commercial side, the article said Steve Vick International is the sole UK distributor for Renset® and works with the manufacturer. It also suggested the unit could cut fuel use and maintenance needs for contractors. These are the publication's statements, not Renset's own published figures.

Why it mattered

Trenchless and utility crews often work in streets, gardens and other places where generator noise and exhaust are a problem. A preview at a UK trade event, aimed at contractors and utility clients, put battery-based site power in front of exactly that audience.
