Stoke-on-Trent manufacturer Electro-Wind completes a bespoke order of 54 IP65-rated 28V DC trailer transformers within an eight-week timeframe.
Stoke-on-Trent manufacturer Electro-Wind has completed the design and production of 54 bespoke trailer transformers for an unnamed UK client. The project required custom-engineered IP65-rated 28V DC units, manufactured entirely at the firm's 35,000 sq ft Staffordshire facility to meet a strict eight-week delivery schedule.
The IP65 ingress protection rating ensures the transformers are fully dust-tight and protected against water jets, making them suitable for demanding outdoor environments and mobile trailer applications. Electro-Wind tailored the units to specific operational parameters required by the customer rather than supplying off-the-shelf equipment.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For standard site work, this custom run does not alter the everyday 110V step-down transformers you buy from Screwfix, Toolstation, or local electrical wholesalers. However, for specialized commercial contractors operating 28V DC equipment or towable plant, it highlights the availability of domestic UK manufacturing for tailored power conversion. While off-the-shelf transformers remain the standard choice for general site power, bespoke units engineered to specific IP ratings are accessible when standard retail gear fails to meet exact voltage or ingress specifications.
The eight-week turnaround demonstrates that specialized UK transformer manufacturers can deliver custom runs without long overseas lead times. For electrical contractors handling bespoke commercial installations, working with domestic fabricators provides a direct route for compliant, heavy-duty power distribution equipment tailored to strict site conditions.
