About
Southland Electrical Rentals, an IPS Company, operates from a 200,000-square-foot inventory facility in Burlington, NC, giving Greensboro-area facility managers and general contractors on-demand access to temporary and replacement commercial electrical equipment when system failures, extended lead times, or planned maintenance shutdowns cannot wait. The rental inventory spans transformers, automatic transfer switches, switchgear, panelboards, low-voltage and vacuum circuit breakers, motor control centers, motor starters, variable frequency drives, PLCs, and power supplies — covering virtually every critical node in an industrial or commercial power distribution system. For facility managers managing tight production schedules or capital budgets, renting mission-critical switchgear or MCC equipment eliminates the cash outlay of outright purchase and sidesteps manufacturer lead times that can stretch months for new gear. Southland specifically calls out hospitals, schools and universities, food processing, water treatment, automotive, and aggregate operations as target verticals — all facilities where electrical downtime carries immediate safety or financial consequences. The company's after-hours emergency sales and service line operates 24/7, which aligns with the reality that switchgear failures and transformer outages do not follow business hours. Beyond rentals, Southland's broader IPS platform provides repair and rebuild services, a full motor control center shop, panel shop services, retrofitting, and certified pre-owned equipment — giving multi-site facility teams a single resource for both emergency coverage and planned capital projects. The inventory includes obsolete and surplus equipment across all major brands and vintages, making Southland a practical resource when legacy commercial or industrial equipment can no longer be sourced through standard distribution channels. Property managers and general contractors in the Greensboro, NC metro can reach Southland's team at 800-476-1486 for same-day quotes on temporary power equipment.
