Precision Support when every minute matters
When operational continuity is critical, VSD hire gives UK asset-intensive businesses a fast, flexible way to keep processes running without the cost and delay of buying new equipment. Total Automated Solutions provides high-performance Variable Speed Drive hire solutions for operations managers, site managers, factory managers, project managers, procurement teams, and maintenance managers across utilities, water & wastewater, manufacturing, chemical, food & beverage, renewables, and infrastructure — whether the need is an emergency replacement, planned maintenance cover, temporary capacity, or a short-term trial to prove energy-saving improvements before investment.
Our VSD Hire Fleet offers a simple, cost-effective way to maintain control, reduce downtime, protect productivity, and avoid unnecessary capital expenditure or long-term ownership costs. On this page, you can review our available VSD hire panels, rapid deployment and installation support, technical features, pricing, and the practical benefits of hiring a Variable Speed Drive instead of purchasing one outright.

We Keep Your Business Moving - Even in critical Moments
Prove Energy Savings Before You Invest
Improving efficiency should be a confident decision, not a costly assumption.
Short-term VSD hire allows you to assess potential energy and cost savings within your manufacturing process in real operating conditions before committing capital to a permanent upgrade, verifying energy savings and potential reductions of up to 50% in variable-torque applications.
If the results meet your expectations, you can progress to a new drive installation with clarity and confidence, while supporting wider sustainability targets through optimized energy usage. If not, simply off-hire the equipment when required - with no long-term commitment.
Engineering for rapid deployment
Engineering for rapid deployment
Emergencies demand decisive action.
Our hire panels are part of a complete hire service, prepared for swift dispatch and backed by ABB-trained engineers who understand the importance of uptime, so you're not left waiting when urgent support is needed. Hired VSDs can also be used to assess improvements in power factor and system stability before permanent changes are made, helping avoid utility penalties. From initial enquiry to delivery, installation, and configuration, every stage is handled with care, technical precision, and urgency.
Whether you need a temporary solution for a defined hire period, our hire fleet provides the control you need, exactly when you need it.
Our hire fleet also includes compact, accurate control panels that can be supplied quickly and put to work straight away, scaled to suit your needs.
Rapid Deployment – loading the hire panel, ready for immediate dispatch to our customer.
Why hire a VSD Drive Panel?
Hiring a drive gives your business immediate access to advanced Mitsubishi drive technology without the capital cost of purchasing equipment outright, making hire a flexible option for accessing advanced drive capability without committing to a purchase.
It is an ideal variable speed drive VSD solution for:
Emergency breakdowns and drive failures, helping you avoid situations that would otherwise stop production
Short-term or seasonal production demands where minimal downtime matters, including temporary capacity for short-term projects or seasonal production spikes
Temporary process capacity increases
Planned maintenance or system upgrades, including planned maintenance shutdowns in manufacturing
Trialling energy-saving improvements to assess energy efficiency before purchase, with VSD hire supporting R&D, system development, and equipment testing
Critical back-up applications, including use on pumps and fans, where precise tuning of speed and pressure improves process control
With no storage, maintenance, or long-term ownership costs, VSD hire gives you the flexibility to respond quickly and scale your operations intelligently, making it the ideal solution rather than rely on a temporary fix.
