Why choose an industrial diesel generator?
Industrial diesel generators are trusted across sectors for their performance, durability and cost-effectiveness. When uptime matters and failure isn’t an option, diesel generators deliver.
Here’s why diesel is often the preferred choice:
- Proven reliability
Diesel generators are engineered for heavy-duty performance and are well-suited to high-load, high-demand environments. Their robust design means they’re capable of running for an extended period without compromising output, ideal for standby and continuous use.
- Fuel efficiency and lower operating costs
Diesel engines consume less fuel than comparable gas-powered units, especially under load. This fuel efficiency translates into reduced operating costs over longer hire durations, making diesel a cost-effective solution for sustained power requirements.
- Rapid deployment and versatility
Diesel generators are available in a range of sizes, from 30 kVA units to multi-megawatt systems, and can be delivered and installed quickly. Whether you need power for a construction site, manufacturing plant, event, or emergency, diesel generators provide the flexibility to match.
- Suitable for remote and off-grid locations
With no reliance on mains gas or complex infrastructure, diesel generators are ideal for remote sites or locations with limited utility access. Combined with on-site fuel tanks and our fuel management service, they can operate continuously and independently.
- Enhanced safety and durability
Modern diesel generators are built to withstand challenging site conditions. With features like weatherproof canopies, sound attenuation, and safety shut-offs, they’re ready for tough industrial environments.
- Lower maintenance demands
Compared to petrol or gas alternatives, diesel engines have fewer moving parts, which typically means reduced maintenance needs and longer service intervals, ensuring your hire runs smoothly with minimal disruption.
Diesel generators for every sector
No matter your sector or application, we have a hire package to solve your power generation challenges - from generators housed in soundproofed canopies to 20-ft ISO containers, for enhanced durability and easy transportation.
Our diesel generator hire solutions can be used to deliver emergency and supplementary power at healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, construction sites, data centres, offshore gas and oil rigs, fish farms and more.
