Our Drive Service Team is available 24/7, 365 days a year, with round-the-clock technical phone support and emergency response. We repair and service most drive and soft start brands, including obsolete models, in our fully equipped workshop or on-site.

DRIVE REPAIRS

Central’s mobile on-site repair service brings our expertise to the location you need.

We then take corrective action, replacing failed components with genuine ABB OEM replacement parts.

HIRE DRIVES

Hiring a drive is a fast, cost-effective way to keep critical processes running during a drive failure, helping reduce downtime while allowing time for repairs.

Customers typically hire drives either to replace a faulty unit or to trial an ABB drive and assess potential energy savings. At Central, we offer a wide range of ABB drives from 0–500kW, including legacy models like the ACS600, to suit existing setups with minimal disruption.

Drives can be supplied pre-installed in a panel for quick deployment or as standalone units for tighter spaces or custom installations.
