Diesel Generators
The backbone of the hire fleet. Rugged, fuel-efficient diesel sets in open and canopied builds, sized from a single trailer unit right up to containerised bulk power.
The backbone of the hire fleet
Diesel is what the working fleet runs on: it holds voltage under a heavy start, it runs all day on a tank we can top up on site, and it can be serviced in the field.
20kVA – 1500kVA Open and canopied builds, right across the hire fleet.
Delivered and connected Our own float fleet, and our own A-grade electricians on site.
Sized on the surge, not the nameplate
The running load is the easy part. It is the peak when a motor kicks in that actually picks the machine.
Motors, compressors, cranes and refrigeration draw far more on start-up than they do running, and a set sized on the running figure alone will stumble the first time the site comes to life. We size against the starting loads, then confirm it before anything is quoted.
From a single trailer unit powering a shop fit-out to containerised bulk power carrying a plant through a shutdown, it is the same fuel, the same yard and the same crew. Units over 100kVA can be synchronised to run in series where the job needs redundancy.
- 20kVA – 1500kVA The full hire fleet, in standard and super-silent builds.
- Fuel handled Scheduled and on-call refuelling from our own trucks, plus fuel cells up to 60,000L.
- Parallel above 100kVA Synchronise sets in series for redundancy and load bearing.

3 min read Frequently asked
What size diesel generator do I need?
Size against the starting loads, not just the running loads. Motors, compressors, cranes and refrigeration draw far more on start-up, and that peak sets the machine. Our free sizing calculator gives you an indicative figure in a few minutes, and our team confirms it before anything is quoted.
What sizes do you hire out?
The fleet runs from 20kVA up to 1500kVA in standard and super-silent configurations. Units over 100kVA can be synchronised to run in series, which provides redundancy, load bearing and the ability to take one machine offline without dropping the site.
How much fuel will it use?
That depends on the set and how hard it is loaded, so we work it out against your run profile rather than quoting a headline figure. Either way we manage it: scheduled top-ups from our own refuelling trucks, and industrial fuel cells up to 60,000L where a site needs to hold its own supply.
Can I hire a diesel generator for a single day?
Yes. We hire from single-day event work through to multi-year contracts, and short hires regularly extend when a repair or an upgrade runs long. Tell us the dates you know about and we will build the term around them.
Do you deliver outside Melbourne?
Yes, anywhere in Australia. Most of the work is Melbourne and greater Victoria, delivered on our own float fleet, but we go where the job is: AusNet at Corryong, Australia Post facilities in five capital cities, a Defence installation in the Northern Territory. Distance affects the timing, not the service.
Who connects it once it is on site?
We do. Our in-house A-grade electricians connect and commission the set, distribute the supply through temporary switchboards, and stay on call for the length of the hire.
