Dale Power Solutions provides comprehensive service and maintenance for all Erskine Industrial Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), as well as offshore systems from a wide range of manufacturers through Calibre.
Dale Power Solutions acquired Erskine in 1968, achieving global success and establishing itself as a trusted name, particularly in the Middle East. In 2024, Dale Power Solutions reintroduced the Erskine brand for its industrial UPS product range in recognition of that long-standing reputation. As a long-term business partner and now a Dale Power Solutions brand, Calibre was acquired in 2025, introducing specialist offshore UPS service and maintenance capability, particularly within the oil and gas sector.
Erskine Industrial UPS systems are engineered for high-risk, mission-critical environments where continuous power is essential. To support these systems throughout their lifecycle, Dale Power Solutions provides a comprehensive service and maintenance offering delivered by experienced UPS engineers based across the UK.
Our engineers carry out planned maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs and long-term lifecycle support to ensure industrial UPS continue to operate optimally. Offshore service, maintenance, and upgrades are delivered through Calibre, whose qualified engineers have extensive experience supporting offshore oil and gas installations. This includes the maintenance, upgrade and retrofitting of legacy and third-party UPS systems commonly found on offshore assets, allowing operators to extend the life of existing infrastructure while improving reliability and compliance.
This combined nationwide and offshore capability allows Dale Power Solutions to support customers across sectors such as oil and gas, rail, power generation and utilities, where any loss of power can result in safety risks, operational disruption or regulatory exposure.
Why Industrial UPS Systems Need Ongoing Maintenance
Industrial UPS systems are often exposed to demanding operating conditions. Heat, dust, vibration, humidity and electrical stress all place continuous strain on critical components. Without regular inspection and maintenance, minor degradation can develop into system failures.
Common reasons customers should invest in industrial UPS service and maintenance include:
Harsh industrial environments accelerate wear, contamination and risk of failure.
Routine system health checks, including cleaning and alarm verification.
Battery inspection and discharge testing to confirm energy availability.
Fan and capacitor replacement to prevent overheating and electronic failure.
Each of these areas directly affects system reliability. Batteries naturally degrade over time, fans can fail, and electronic components age. Without proactive maintenance, these changes can go unnoticed until a power event exposes them, putting critical operations at risk.
The purpose of industrial UPS service and maintenance is not only to correct faults, but to prevent them. Through planned inspection, testing and component replacement, Dale Power Solutions helps customers avoid unplanned outages, extend equipment life and maintain confidence in their power resilience.
Erskine industrial UPS systems are designed for long-term service. With the right operating conditions and maintenance regime, they can continue to perform reliably for over 30 years. Regular servicing protects the initial investment and supports a more sustainable approach to critical power, reducing the need for whole system replacement by keeping proven, robust systems in operation for decades.
