Typical class figures — exact unit confirmed on your quote. Motors and compressors draw roughly three times their running load at startup, so size for the surge, not the sticker. Pair with lighting towers for night work, and ask about distribution boards and leads on the same quote.

Good to know

Generator hire questions

What size generator do I need?

List what runs at the same time, then let us do the maths — anything with a motor (saws, pumps, compressors, air-con) needs about three times its running power at startup. Undersized generators trip all day; oversized ones waste fuel. Send the load list and we'll size it with the supplier.

How long does it run on a tank?

Site generators are built for all-day running, and most mid-size units run a full shift and then some on their tank. For 24/7 or multi-week jobs, add a self-bunded fuel cell and a refuelling arrangement so it never becomes your 6am problem.

Are they quiet enough for events and night work?

Silenced units are standard in the hire fleets — conversation-level hum rather than racket. For weddings, film sets and residential-area night works, tell us noise matters and we'll specify the quietest option in the class.

Single phase or three phase?

Small tools and sheds run single phase; bigger machinery, lifts and site boards want three phase. Most units from 20 kVA up give you both. If you're not sure, photograph the plugs of what you're powering and send it with the enquiry.

Who handles fuel?

You top up smaller units like a car — diesel from the servo. For bigger units and long hires we can arrange fuel cells and scheduled refuelling through the network, all on the same invoice.

What about leads, boards and earth stakes?

Distribution boards, cable ramps and leads all hire alongside the set. Tell us the layout — how far power has to travel and to how many points — and the quote comes back complete instead of surprising you on delivery day.
