When severe weather hits, reliable communication networks become essential for public safety, emergency response, and maintaining business continuity. That’s why, when a major storm knocked out power to parts of Charlotte, North Carolina, the team at Hart jumped into action to ensure a critical cell tower stayed online.
The Importance of Cell Tower Backup Power
Cell towers are the backbone of modern communication networks, providing the connectivity we rely on for everything from emergency calls to video conferencing. When the grid goes down, these towers need a reliable source of backup power to remain operational.
During a prolonged power outage, a cell tower’s on-site backup batteries can only last for so long before needing to be recharged or replaced. This is where mobile generators come into play, providing the temporary power needed to keep the tower running until utility service is restored.
However, sourcing the right generator and the necessary fuel can be a significant challenge, especially in the midst of a crisis. That’s where having a trusted fuel supplier like Hart makes all the difference – and we have made it easier to get the fuel you need with our Priority Response Program.
Powering Through the Outage (Literally) with Generator Refueling
The team at Hart understood the urgency of the situation and was able to provide this client with a 200-gallon fuel cube, containment berm, and the fuel they needed.
This fuel powered a generator that had a kit installed which allowed the fuel to go directly into the generator, making it more efficient and safer.
