Generator Hire
1100kVA Generator Hire
Bulk power for major industrial and infrastructure work: containerised sets, synchronised operation, designed temporary supply and fuel systems built to run for the length of the program.
Bulk power, designed
A hire at 1100kVA is a temporary power station. Everything about it is designed: the placement, the controls, the fuel, and what happens when a machine has to come offline.
Major industrial sites, network infrastructure, large processing facilities and micro grids all sit in this band. The generator itself is the least complicated part of the job. The controls, the change-over arrangement, the cable route and the fuel storage are where the engineering lives.
Our large fleet is built around 1250kVA and 1500kVA machines, so an 1100kVA requirement goes out on the nearest set that carries the duty, or on synchronised sets designed around your load profile. We have delivered exactly this kind of work, including super-silent sets to network specification with ComAp controllers and a 60,000L fuel system.
- A designed installation Controls, change-over gear, cable routes and fuel engineered as one system.
- Synchronised sets Capacity and redundancy built from machines running in series under common control.
- Proven at this scale Delivered on network, water and defence projects, not just quoted for.
1100kVA Bulk power
Where an 1100kVA earns its keep
Major industrial sites, network and utility infrastructure, large processing facilities, micro grids, and defence and government projects.
It never goes out alone
A set on its own is rarely the whole job. The gear that gets it connected and keeps it running is held in our Kilsyth yard.
- Refuelling trucks
- Delivery tilt trays
- Crane trucks
- Industrial fuel cells
- Temporary switchboards
- Cable ramps and covers
- Lighting towers
- Load banks
From your call to power on
No triage queue and no handballing. The person who picks up is the person organising your set.

-
We size it on the call
Our electricians and generator specialists work out what will carry the load now, and what the connection needs to look like.
-
Dispatch and connect
The set goes out on our own float fleet, and our A-grade electricians make the connection and commission it on site.
-
We stay accountable
Fuel management, monitoring and on-call technicians until your operation is back on, stable, and no longer needs us.
Need more or less than 1100kVA?
The neighbouring sets in this part of the fleet. Each one has its own page with what it runs and what goes out with it.
Indicative figures. kW at 0.8 power factor, amps per phase at 415V three-phase.
Need more than 1100kVA?
The hire fleet runs from 20kVA to 1500kVA, and sets can be synchronised to make the capacity a site needs. Tell us the load and we will design the arrangement.

Frequently asked
What does an 1100kVA arrangement power?
A major industrial site, network or utility infrastructure under rebuild, a large processing facility, or a micro grid. At this scale the hire is a temporary power station and it is designed as one, with controls, change-over arrangements and fuel storage engineered together.
Do you hold a single 1100kVA set?
Our large hire fleet is built around 1250kVA and 1500kVA machines, so an 1100kVA requirement goes out on the nearest set that carries the duty, or on synchronised sets designed around your load profile. We tell you the arrangement when we quote.
Have you delivered work at this scale?
Yes. Our projects include supplying and installing super-silent generators with ComAp IG1000 controllers to network specification for AusNet Services in Corryong, together with a 60,000L fuel system for a micro grid, and synchronised sets with ComAp IG500 controls and field tanks for Barwon Water.
What does the control system do?
It synchronises the sets, shares load between them, and manages change-over so the site transfers cleanly. It is also how a machine is taken offline for service without the load noticing. We design, install and commission these arrangements in-house rather than subcontracting the controls.
How long does a hire this size take to mobilise?
Longer than a call-out, and the honest answer depends on the design. Placement, controls, switchgear and fuel all have to be worked out first. Bring us in early and the mobilisation is planned; bring us in late and we will still make it work, but the options narrow.
How is it commissioned?
Under real, measured load with our own load banks, including proving what happens when one set in a synchronised arrangement is taken offline. Comprehensive commissioning and testing is part of the job, not an optional extra.
