Grifco Expands Reliability with Upsonic Power Partnership

Grifco has strengthened its commitment to reliable commercial and industrial door automation through a partnership with Upsonic Power, Australia’s leading UPS provider. This integrated solution ensures critical doors remain functional in facilities where access, safety, and productivity cannot be compromised.

Grifco Expands Reliability with Upsonic Power Partnership

On 1 July 2018, Grifco commenced a strategic supply agreement with Upsonic Power - Australia’s leading manufacturer of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems - to distribute the highly regarded ESAT20 model to the commercial and industrial door market. This collaboration brings together Grifco’s industry‑leading expertise in commercial door automation with Upsonic Power’s proven capability in power protection technology.

Strengthening Our Commitment to Reliability

For decades, Grifco has been recognised for delivering robust, high‑performance automation solutions tailored to demanding industrial environments. Partnering with Upsonic Power allows us to extend that same standard of reliability beyond mechanical and control systems and into the realm of electrical continuity.

The addition of the ESAT20 UPS to our solution portfolio ensures that customers benefit from uninterrupted operation of their door systems, even when faced with unexpected power outages, voltage drops, or grid instability. With a UPS in place, businesses gain immediate failover power that keeps critical entrances operational and protected.

About the Upsonic ESAT20 UPS

High‑efficiency power conversion to deliver stable and reliable backup power
Fast automatic switching to battery mode during blackouts or brownouts
Intelligent battery management, extending battery lifespan and minimising maintenance

Flexible installation options to suit existing Grifco motor setups

This model’s performance, durability, and compatibility make it a smart, seamless addition to any commercial door system.

Why UPS Matters for Commercial & Industrial Doors

Safe and reliable door operation is essential in every commercial facility. For businesses such as warehouses, logistics hubs, emergency services, car parks, and secure industrial sites, downtime is far more than an inconvenience. It can impact safety, productivity, revenue, and reputation.

A power outage without a UPS can lead to:

Vehicles and goods trapped inside or outside facilities
Delays in dispatch and delivery operations
Inability to secure the building during a blackout
Safety risks for staff needing manual access

In facilities where controlled access is mission‑critical, the failure of a commercial door simply isn’t an option. The Grifco‑Upsonic partnership addresses this by ensuring automation systems remain operational long enough to maintain access, secure the site, and keep operations moving.

Built‑In Convenience and Peace of Mind

By sourcing the ESAT20 directly through Grifco, commercial operations benefit from:

Single‑supplier convenience – one point of contact for motors, control systems, and power continuity
Aligned compatibility – products that are tested, trusted, and integrated with Grifco’s automation systems
Support from Grifco’s national service network
Enhanced reliability and reduced risk

The result is a more resilient automation solution designed to keep businesses moving - even when the power doesn’t.
