Control Panel Manufacturers in Blackburn, Lancashire

Specialists in motor control for over 35 years

Ralspeed started in 1988 with one goal: to make the best soft starter units on the market. Those first products did well and we’ve grown steadily since. Today we design and manufacture soft starters, overload units and electrical control panels and we supply Danfoss variable speed drives.

Nothing leaves our workshop untested. Our in-house engineers build, test and service our equipment, so when you call us you speak to the people who made it.

EQUIPMENT HIRE

Our hire fleet of soft starters, drives and temporary control panels is built and maintained by our own engineers and ready to go when you need it.

SERVICING

Planned maintenance and repair from engineers who know motor control equipment inside out, so small faults don’t become expensive shutdowns.

”We were considering upgrading the drives on our crusher line but needed evidence before committing to the spend. Ralspeed supplied a hire unit so we could trial it on our own equipment, and over five months we saw roughly a 20% reduction in energy use. That data made the business case easy to sign off, and we've since bought 6 units outright.
