Why Motor Softstarters Make a Measurable Difference
Motor softstarters sit between your power supply and motor, controlling how current is applied at start-up. The result is a smoother acceleration curve, less strain on mechanical components, and a noticeable reduction in peak energy draw during startup surges. For operations running pumps, fans, compressors, or conveyor systems, the savings in maintenance costs and downtime add up quickly.
At Raise & Lower, we help you select the right softstarter rating and configuration for your motor size and duty cycle. Whether you are replacing ageing direct-on-line starters or designing a new installation, we can advise on suitable models and get equipment to you without unnecessary delays.

Switchgear Breakers and Power Switchgear Built for Industrial Demands
Switchgear is the backbone of any electrical distribution system. When it is specified correctly and sourced from proven manufacturers, it protects your people, your plant, and your production. When it is not, the consequences can be costly. Raise & Lower takes the guesswork out of switchgear procurement by combining technical understanding with a clear, efficient supply process.
We supply switchgear breakers suited to a wide range of fault current ratings and installation conditions. Our power switchgear range covers distribution boards, bus bar systems, and associated protection devices for commercial and industrial sites. If your project requires ABB MV switchgear at medium-voltage level, we can advise on the right panel type, protection relay configuration, and accessory requirements.
Every enquiry is handled directly by someone who understands what you are asking for.
Tell us your switchgear requirements and we will come back to you with the right product recommendation.
Electrical Control Panel Boards Designed Around Your Specification
A control panel board is only as good as its design. Off-the-shelf enclosures rarely account for the realities of a specific installation: the number of drive outputs, the protection requirements, the available cabinet space, or the preferred cable entry points. That is why we work with customers to produce electrical control panel boards that are built around exactly what the job calls for.
From motor control centres to standalone local control panels, Raise & Lower can help you define the scope, select appropriate components, and source everything needed to complete the build. We supply to panel builders, electrical contractors, and end-user maintenance teams alike, and we are happy to advise at the design stage as well as at the point of order.

FAQS
What is a motor softstarter and when do I need one?
+
−
A motor softstarter controls the voltage applied to an electric motor during start-up, reducing the initial current surge and the mechanical shock that comes with a direct-on-line start. They are commonly used with pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors where a gentler acceleration helps protect both the motor and the connected load.
What is the difference between a switchgear breaker and a standard circuit breaker?
+
−
Switchgear breakers are rated and designed for the higher fault current levels found in industrial and commercial distribution systems. They offer more robust protection, greater breaking capacity, and are often part of a wider switchgear assembly rather than a standalone protective device.
Do you supply ABB MV switchgear for medium-voltage applications?
+
−
Yes. We supply ABB medium-voltage switchgear and can help you identify the correct panel type, protection relay, and accessories for your site’s voltage level and fault level requirements. Contact us with your project details and we will advise accordingly.
Can you supply a complete electrical control panel board, or just components?
+
−
We can help at multiple stages. We supply individual components to panel builders, and we can also work with you to source everything needed for a complete board build, based on your specification or schematics. Speak to our team about what stage your project is at.
What industries do you supply electrical equipment to?
+
−
Our customers come from a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, water treatment, building services, oil and gas, food production, and general industrial plant. If your site uses motors, distribution switchgear, or control panels, we can likely help.
What information do I need to provide when requesting a quote?
+
−
The more detail, the better. For softstarters and switchgear breakers, we typically need motor or load rating, supply voltage, fault level, and any specific manufacturer preferences. For control panel boards, a single-line diagram or specification document is ideal. If you are at an early stage, our team can still guide you.
How quickly can you respond to an enquiry?
+
−
We aim to respond to all enquiries within the same working day. For urgent requirements, please call us directly so we can prioritise your request.
Do you offer support after the equipment has been delivered?
+
−
Yes. We are here to help even after your order has been fulfilled. If you have questions about installation, commissioning, or sourcing additional components, get in touch and we will do our best to assist.
