Actuation designed for the transition to Net Zero

Net Zero infrastructure has to consume less energy, run more intelligently and make better use of what is already installed. RIFT’s low-power actuation enables solar and battery operation and replaces routine maintenance travel with condition-led decisions.

Power is the constraint

Many assets sit far from mains power. Trenching cable to automate a single valve can cost more than the valve itself.

Typical applications

  • Remote water assets
  • Environmental systems
  • Reservoirs
  • Remote ventilation
  • Temporary infrastructure
  • Off-grid installations
Net Zero & off-grid Low-power infrastructure

How RIFT helps: Net Zero & off-grid

Reduced electrical consumption

Patented RIFT motor technology significantly reduces demand compared with conventional actuator designs.

Solar and battery ready

Low-voltage DC actuators designed to run from renewable generation and storage.

Remote automation

Operate and monitor remote assets without a site visit.

Longer asset life

Condition-based rather than calendar-based maintenance extends asset lifecycles.

Frequently asked questions

How much energy does a RIFT actuator save?

Savings depend on duty and comparison unit, so we assess them per application rather than quote a universal figure. RIFT’s multi-motor design significantly reduces inrush current and running demand.
