FAQs about our Diesel Generator Hire

What is included in the emergency cover for a diesel generator rental?

Our emergency support includes immediate telephone assistance from experienced engineers who can help diagnose the problem and determine the quickest solution. Where required, we can arrange a rapid engineer response to attend site and carry out repairs or implement a temporary solution to keep your operation running. For businesses relying on continuous power, having access to emergency support provides reassurance that expert help is available whenever it is needed, helping to reduce downtime and protect critical operations.

Can you help us determine if we need to hire 3 phase generator units or single-phase?

Choosing the correct generator configuration is essential to ensure your equipment operates safely and efficiently. The difference between single-phase and 3 phase power depends on the type of equipment you need to run and the electrical demands of your site. Single-phase generators are commonly used for smaller applications such as temporary offices, welfare units, lighting, and general site equipment. Three-phase generators are typically required for larger commercial, industrial, and construction applications where heavier machinery or higher power loads are involved. Our specialist team can review your equipment specifications, load requirements, and site setup to determine whether a standard single-phase layout or a heavy-duty 3 phase configuration is required. This helps prevent issues such as overloading, poor performance, or hiring a generator that is larger than necessary.

How quiet is your silent generator hire equipment during normal operation?

Silent generators are specifically designed for locations where noise levels need to be carefully controlled. They are housed within acoustic canopies that significantly reduce engine and operational noise while also providing protection from the weather. The exact noise level will vary depending on the generator size, load demand, and installation environment. However, silent generators are commonly used on construction sites, events, residential developments, schools, healthcare facilities, and other locations where excessive noise could cause disruption. If your project has specific noise restrictions, our team can advise on suitable generator options and positioning to help minimise disturbance while still providing reliable power.

Do you handle fuel management and refuelling during long-term diesel generator hire?

Yes. Fuel management is often one of the most important considerations for long-term generator hire, particularly on sites where continuous power is required. Our team can arrange scheduled refuelling visits based on your expected fuel consumption and operating hours. This helps ensure the generator remains operational without interruption while reducing the risk of running low on fuel during critical periods. For larger projects, fuel usage can also be monitored and adjusted as site requirements change. Effective fuel management not only helps maintain reliable power but can also improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary operating costs.

What are the minimum and maximum periods available for rental?

Generator hire can be tailored to suit both short-term and long-term requirements. We offer flexible rental periods ranging from emergency same-day hire and short-term project support through to ongoing commercial contracts lasting several months or longer. Short-term hire is often used for planned maintenance, temporary events, construction projects, or emergency backup power. Longer-term rental can provide a practical alternative to purchasing equipment, particularly for seasonal demand, temporary facilities, or projects with changing power requirements. If you're unsure how long a generator will be required, we can recommend a hire solution that provides the flexibility to extend the rental period as your project develops.
