SmartBay for Business, quoted in writing.
A bay that earns its keep
SmartBay for Business is the commercial build: a working bay for a detail shop, a small fleet, a service operation — anywhere the garage is a workplace and downtime has an invoice attached. The standards shift accordingly: storage gets specified in drawer ratings and run lengths, charging gets specified in kilowatts per shift, and power continuity stops being optional.
Everything below ships from the same catalog as our residential builds — the difference is what you ask of it.
Storage specified like equipment
Beta's modular systems are the commercial storage answer, specified to your bay module by module. The C45PRO 2.0 and RSC50 2.0 run from 54 to 147 inches between them, built to order in a typical 6–8 week cycle, and each has a run builder that turns a wall length into a module list (C45PRO 2.0, RSC50 2.0). The stocked C45PRO covers 77 to 116 inches in 18-gauge steel without the wait.
Pair any of them with the C30M Maxi Tank where fluids are involved — an oil-proof, drained work top rated at 3,968 pounds static — and the RSC28 SuperTank for the tools that follow the job across the floor.
For commercial addresses, freight routing changes in your favor: a receiving dock or forklift takes curbside limits out of the conversation entirely.
Charging sized to the shift, not the vehicle
Fleet charging math is shift math: how many vehicles must leave full at opening, and how many hours the bay sits quiet overnight. Autel's MaxiCharger 80A delivers 19.2 kW hardwired — the fastest Level 2 tier — and its load-management features matter more in a building where the panel already feeds compressors and lifts.
Multiple vehicles rarely need multiple flagship chargers: two 40–50 A units charging overnight often beat one 80 A unit with a queue. Bring us the fleet list and the panel rating; the answer falls out of arithmetic.
The outage that closes the register
A power outage in a commercial bay stops card terminals, door operators, network gear, and the lighting that lets work continue. A plug-connected system like the BLUETTI Apex 300 holds the point-of-sale and network layer with 0 ms switchover; the 12 kW class hardwired systems carry heavier continuity requirements when the whole operation must ride through.
Size it like insurance: total the loads that cost money per idle hour, and back those first.
Paperwork, delivery, and the written spec
- Written quotes — storage runs, charger circuits, and freight are specified in writing before ordering.
- Commercial delivery — dock or forklift receiving reroutes freight from curbside rules.
- Staged rollout — storage first, charging second, continuity third; the bay works for you between phases.
