Integrated Emergency Power
The Whole Energy Group developed The Handler to address a critical challenge in disaster response: delivering multiple forms of support when communities lose essential lifelines. This containerized, aviation-derived platform provides electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal power from a single deployable unit, helping organizations restore critical operations faster.
By combining four outputs into one platform, one fuel source, and one operator interface, The Handler reduces equipment requirements, simplifies logistics, and supports more efficient emergency response, infrastructure recovery, and community stabilization efforts.
The Challenge
Why Handler Exists
Conventional emergency power is usually fragmented into multiple machines, fuels, and operators.
- Disaster and remote operations often need power in hours, not months.
- Typical equipment is single-purpose: generator, heater, hydraulic pack, and comms support are separate assets.
- Cold weather, mobility limits, and fuel logistics can turn backup equipment into a second failure point.
- The need is not just electricity; teams also need heat, pumping force, tools, and field support.
The Idea
Handler In One Sentence
Use proven aviation APUs as the heart of modular power systems that can be configured for different missions.
- Aviation-derived Core
Start with mature APU hardware built for reliability, compactness, and demanding operating conditions.
- Modular Packaging
Build around skids, pods, trailers, and service-friendly subsystems with quick-connect interfaces.
- Multiple Outputs
Prioritize electric power while also using thermal energy and optional hydraulic, water, and cooling modules.
- Scalable Architecture
Grow capability by replicating identical Emergency Units instead of redesigning every installation.
