Nixon Hire expands fleet with initial £1m+ investment in Infinity Cube battery storage units
Exclusive UK hire partnership brings higher-capacity battery power to more complex sites
Newcastle upon Tyne, 2 October 2026 - Nixon Hire has invested over £1m in a new fleet of large battery
storage units through an exclusive UK hire partnership with Infinity Cube Europe, enabling it to support
larger projects and a wider range of power demands with lower-emission temporary power.
Under the initial 18-month agreement, which has scope to be extended, Nixon Hire will be the only UK
hire company able to offer Infinity Cube Europe’s Pro range of large battery storage units. The
investment covers 14 units, six of which have already been deployed on customer sites, with eight more
due later in October. A further four units are expected by the end of the year.
The Infinity Cube S Pro, M Pro and L Pro offer 200kW, 300kW and 550kW of energy storage
respectively. Units can be linked to create larger battery systems as a site’s needs grow, while each can
coordinate up to three generators, rotating their use to help align maintenance visits.
Early trials show the range of demands Infinity Cube batteries can meet. On a major battery storage
project, an L Pro supplied power to 106 modular office bays, four welfare cabins, and washing blocks
(all supplied by Nixon Hire) in addition to supporting construction loads. In another trial, an M Pro
handled the full power demand of a tower crane, while an M Pro also supplied the training-ground
kitchens of a Premier League football club.
In less than a month, a customer using an Infinity Cube M Pro reported the following savings1:
• 13,000+ litres of fuel
• £20,900+ in fuel costs
• 33.8+ tonnes of CO2 emissions
The fleet is remotely monitored by Nixon Hire’s Renewable Energy Hub, whose technical specialists
help customers track and optimise performance throughout a project. Data from the new units is also
available through Pulse, Nixon Hire’s customer portal, giving users real time visibility of energy
consumption, usage trends and savings.
Brian Cornett, CEO of Nixon Hire, commented:
“Over several years, we have invested in renewable energy to help customers run sites more efficiently
and reduce fuel use. The Infinity range builds on that work, extending our battery offer to larger projects
and allowing us to supply higher-capacity power alongside the modular buildings and site
accommodation those projects need.
“We are proud to be Infinity Cube Europe’s exclusive UK hire partner. The early trials have shown the
difference these units can make, and as the fleet expands, we look forward to more customers seeing
those benefits on their own sites.”
Chris Autey, Managing Director at Infinity Cube Europe, commented:
“We are delighted to be partnering with Nixon Hire, an organisation that has built an outstanding
reputation as one of the UK's most trusted and innovative providers of sustainable equipment solutions.
