Hiring the Right Generator For Your Needs

No one likes to be without power, especially during those times when electricity is paramount. Before you hire a generator, you want to make sure the unit can produce enough power for your individual requirements.

The right size generator depends on the total wattage of all the equipment you plan to power. You should calculate the combined wattage requirements (including starting and running watts) and then choose a generator with a slightly higher capacity to ensure efficiency and avoid overloading.

Use the following guide to identify the most suitable generator for you.

Portable Generators (3 – 8kVA)

Portable generators that fall within the 1 – 3kVA range are ideally suited for occasional use, particularly when smaller devices or tools need to be powered during a power cut, outdoor events, or in areas where mains electricity isn't readily available. Hire these portable generators for:

- Overnight camping
- Beach outings
- Fishing trips
- Simple stall setups
- Minor DIY tasks
- Food trucks

Inverter Generators (2 – 8kVA)

Inverter generators are quieter and use less power than standard portable generators. Depending on what you're using them for, these generators can run between 3 and 10 hours. They're compact and great for powering smaller devices and systems that don't require too much electricity. Hire a 2-8kVA inverter generator for:

- Powering small appliances (fridges, ovens, televisions)
- Running power tools (jigsaws, drills, sanders)
- Intimate outdoor events (sound, lighting, and audio equipment)
- Market stalls and food trucks (cooking equipment, card readers, signage)

Mid-range Generators (10 – 40kVA)

Mid-range generators are engineered for those moments when you require a robust energy supply without the heft of industrial-scale models. Opt for these for:

- Small events (weddings, parties, celebrations)
- Temporary backup power supply for small businesses (shops, cafes)
- Residential backup (can run all household appliances and electricity for approximately 8 hours)
- Lower-scale construction sites, power site offices

Mid-range Industrial Generator (50 – 150kVA)

Power continuity is critical for seamless operations in various industrial settings. A mid-range industrial generator, offering 50 to 150kVA, is the ideal solution for businesses that require a reliable backup power source to tackle outages without the need for extensive capacity. These generators are perfect for:

- Small to medium-sized enterprises (manufacturing units, construction sites, and agricultural facilities)
- Home renovations, garden landscaping, or shop fit-outs
- Extended residential backup
Site offices
- Community events (festivals, fetes, markets)
- Floor grinders
- Medical clinics
- Small data centre backup
- Emergency service operations

Large Industrial Generators (150 - 750kVA)

A 150-750kVa generator hire is appropriate for those needing more than a mere auxiliary unit but less than a colossal power plant. Fantastic backup power suppliers for large-scale operations, these units can effectively maintain power at extended periods for:

- Construction sites (large machinery such as cranes)
- Industrial projects, such as factories and plants
- Hospitals and essential services
- Mining operations
- Telecommunications and manufacturing facilities
- Commercial buildings, such as shopping centres and offices
- Remote research stations/sites

Heavy Duty Industrial Generators (750 - 1500kVA)

Industrial generators ranging from 750 to 1500kVA are typically used in situations where there is a substantial demand for power. This is often the case in larger industrial settings or during specific projects that require a significant amount of electricity—such as big manufacturing plants, construction sites, and during large-scale events. Consider 750, 1000, or 1500kVA generator hire for:

- Large sites, buildings such hospitals
- Extended power outages
- Scheduled maintenance
- Operations based at remote sites without power grid access
- Operations that cannot be without power
