Specialist Advice & Expertise

As specialists we can advise you on what is needed to complete your project in the most effective package. We can arrange all the connections or provide advice to your technicians or contractors to get the job done.

Testing, Planned Maintenance and Servicing

Routine maintenance is carried out on our customers’ sites by prior arrangement on request. The cost of routine servicing during normal working hours is included in our hire rates.

All generator hire sets are serviced at 500 running hour intervals by our expert in-house engineers. Service intervals are scheduled electronically at the start of hire, and continue to be monitored by mobile staff. Servicing may be performed outside of normal working hours at an additional cost if required.

Ordering, Delivery, Off-Hire & Collection

The minimum hire period of all equipment is one week. Normal working hours for the delivery and collection of our equipment are Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:30. Out of hours requests will be met and priced on application.

Off-hire requests can be made by customers via telephone or email. When an offhire request is received, a unique off-hire reference number will be provided to the individual off-hiring the equipment.

Collection is arranged at the time of off-hire, however if this is not possible, we will call back to confirm. Collection is arranged for within two days of the off-hire date. Alternatively, equipment can be returned to our nearest depot.

Our vehicles are ADR compliant for legal transportation of fuel so that we can deliver generators and fuel tanks full of fuel and ready to go. Our four-wheel drive vehicles enable us to access difficult off-road locations.

In the event of an abortive delivery / collection, the customer is charged the full rate. If the collection is excessively delayed, the equipment is put back on hire.

Operator Familiarisation

All equipment is delivered with operating guidelines. In addition to this, our delivery drivers provide customers with an operation demonstration and an overview of how to carry out daily equipment checks.

Lost / Stolen Equipment

In the event that a set is lost or stolen, please refer to Appendix I  Terms and Conditions of Hire the replacement charge is calculated as set out in the Terms and Conditions of Hire. Sets will be replaced as soon as possible, subject to availability, provided that the security arrangements have been reviewed and necessary measures taken to prevent further thefts.

Fuel

Generators are supplied with a full fuel load and tanks are provided with fuel levels agreed at the time of supply. Fuel used is invoiced at the end of the hire. If fuel management is undertaken, this is invoiced at the time of supply. We also provide a range of ADR compliant bulk fuel tanks to enable the safe and legal transportation of fuel.

Fuel Management

We can also provide a full fuel management service for instances when generator sets are required for prolonged periods of time. We can:

• Offer remote fuel usage data
• Provide fuel consumption records where RFM is requested
• Remove the pressure from you, reducing the risk of no fuel situations

Loadshare

By using synchronising technology and the latest generator sets Abird can design and install a system with the emphasis on reducing fuel consumption as well as reducing emissions and your carbon footprint. We can achieve this when your site load reduces during the night but requires a peak during the day.

For example, if your site needs 500 kVA base load supply and only 100 kVA supply at night we will utilise a 500 kVA for normal working hours. When the load decreases we will swap the load onto a 100 kVA. The 500 kVA would go into a sleep mode until the load increases again; we can set this for any time of the day.

On past projects where we have installed this system, we have saved our customers up to 30% in fuel consumption, leading to a reduction in their emissions and carbon foot print.

We would be happy to site survey any application and provide you with a forecast on fuel savings. This can also be monitored via the deep-sea control panel, giving a read out for fuel usage in litres per hour.

Remote Fleet Management

Most of our rental diesel generators are remote fleet management enabled and use the latest app-based connected technology to give you complete visibility of the equipment you’ve got on hire and how it’s performing. This method helps you manage your equipment on hire and monitor how it’s performing.
