For more than 30 years, PC Mobile Welding has been a trusted specialist in reactive maintenance across Australia’s rail network. Their work ranges from signalling and platform repairs to bridge works and train maintenance, demanding fast response times, safe practices and dependable equipment.
By integrating Instagrid into their daily workflow, the team has unlocked cleaner, quieter and more flexible portable power that is reshaping how they operate on mobile worksites.
PC Mobile Welding’s crews operate across challenging environments where mobility and reliability are essential. Traditionally, the team relied on battery welders or older power sources that delivered limited performance, often allowing them to complete only seven rods per charge. After introducing Instagrid into the fleet, the shift was immediate. Crews now achieve up to 38 rods in a single run, giving them far more time on tools and far less time managing equipment limitations.
Instagrid units are now being used for welding, grinding, drilling and any task requiring a stable 240V supply. The team actively puts them through demanding, high-load applications and, the systems continue to perform.
Beyond performance, one of the most significant benefits has been reliability. In over 12 months of heavy daily use, PC Mobile Welding has not had to service a single Instagrid unit, a stark contrast to traditional portable power sources that require ongoing maintenance. With zero failures and zero downtime, the crews have quickly moved away from older battery welders, leaving them on the shelves in favour of Instagrid’s consistent output and ease of use.
This reliability, combined with cleaner and quieter operation, has created safer workflow conditions and more agile movement across job sites. PC Mobile Welding now confidently recommends Instagrid to any operator needing strong, dependable portable power on the move.
