We offer a wide range of industrial generators for hire to meet the diverse demands of commercial and industrial projects. Our fleet includes:

Diesel generators: the most common choice for heavy-duty and high-load applications, offering robust, reliable performance for prime and standby use.
Gas generators: a cleaner-burning option ideal for sites where emissions regulations or environmental targets are a concern. Suitable for continuous or backup power.
Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) generators: an advanced, sustainable alternative to conventional diesel. HVO delivers the same performance while reducing CO₂, NO_X and particulate emissions. Ideal for organisations targeting a lower environmental impact without compromising on power.

Our generators range from 30 kVA units to multi-megawatt systems and can be configured to match your site’s electrical needs.

If you’re unsure which generator type is right for your project, our technical team is here to advise and deliver a custom power solution that aligns with your performance, sustainability and budget requirements.

Choosing the right generator for hire depends on your power requirements, site conditions and operational goals. We are here to guide you through the selection process to ensure you get a solution that delivers safe, efficient and reliable performance.

Here’s what we typically assess:

Power demand: we calculate the total kVA or kW required to run your equipment or facility, factoring in start-up surges and load profiles. This ensures your generator is neither underpowered nor oversized, which can impact efficiency and reliability.
Application type: whether you need prime, standby, or emergency backup power will influence the generator’s size, fuel type and runtime capabilities.
Site location: we consider site accessibility, terrain, available space, and any restrictions (e.g. noise, emissions) that may affect generator type or enclosure requirements.
Fuel preference or restrictions: we’ll recommend the most suitable fuel based on environmental goals, fuel availability and site needs.
Future expansion or load changes: if your power needs may increase, we can design a setup that scales with your operation.

We provide rapid-response emergency generator hire 24/7, 365 days a year. Whether you’re facing an unexpected power outage, equipment failure or a site emergency, we’re ready to mobilise fast to keep your operations running.

We understand that when the power goes down, every second counts. Our experienced team is on hand day and night to deliver fast, reliable support, helping you minimise disruption and protect your people, processes and productivity.

We offer flexible industrial generator rental options to suit short-term and long-term requirements. Whether you need power for a few hours, several weeks or many months, we’ll build a hire package around your exact needs.

Short-term hire is ideal for planned maintenance, events, equipment testing or emergency cover. We can mobilise quickly and provide turnkey solutions, including delivery, setup, fuel and support.

Long-term hire is perfect for construction sites, remote operations, seasonal demand or ongoing power supply where permanent infrastructure isn’t viable. We offer cost-effective rates, full maintenance cover, fuel management and remote monitoring to maximise uptime over the hire period.

We understand that project timelines and power demands can change, so all of our hire agreements are designed to be as flexible and scalable as possible. You can easily extend your hire period, upgrade equipment or add additional generators as your needs evolve.
