Technologies for transferring a load by a static transfer switch (STS) to a catcher uninterruptible power supply (UPS) are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, each STS in a catcher UPS system monitors an available power of the catcher UPS. The STS determines, in response to a power failure event of an associated UPS, whether a real-time power supplied to a load connected to the STS exceeds the available power of the catcher UPS and whether the STS has priority over each other STS in the system. The STS transfers the load from the associated UPS to the catcher UPS in response to determining that the real-time power supplied to the load does not exceed the available power of the catcher UPS and that the STS has priority over each other STS in the system.
