Silent Generators
Acoustic canopies that keep the noise down where it matters: hospitals, CBD sites, residential streets and live events. The same power, a fraction of the sound.
Quiet enough to sit beside the job
A super-silent set is a diesel generator inside an acoustic canopy, so the machine can sit close to the people it is powering rather than at the far end of the site.
Below 60dB at 7 metres Quieter than a normal conversation, even on full load.
100kVA – 1500kVA Super-silent builds across the working half of the hire fleet.
What the canopy actually changes
Same engine, same output. A fraction of the noise at the boundary, which is the only figure a permit cares about.
On a lot of jobs the noise limit is a condition of the permit, not a preference. A ward, a tenancy, a residential street or a sound desk sets the ceiling, and the generator either clears it or the work stops.
The silenced sets run from 100kVA to 1500kVA, and units over 100kVA can be synchronised to run in series where a site needs redundancy as well as quiet. Delivery, electrical connection and refuelling are all handled by our own crew, so nothing about the setup adds noise you did not plan for.

How quiet is a super-silent generator?
Our super-silent sets run below 60dB at 7 metres, which is quieter than a normal conversation, even on full load. The figure that matters on your job is the one at the boundary, so tell us the limit on the permit and the distance to the nearest neighbour and we will size against it.
What sizes do the silent sets come in?
The super-silent fleet runs from 100kVA to 1500kVA. Above 100kVA the sets can be synchronised to run in series, which gives you redundancy, load bearing and the ability to take one machine offline without dropping the site.
Do I need a silent set, or will a standard one do?
If the generator sits away from people and there is no noise condition on the permit, a standard set is usually the cheaper answer. If it sits near wards, tenancies, homes or a sound desk, hire the silenced build. We will tell you plainly which one your site needs rather than selling you up.
Are silent generators suitable for hospitals?
They are one of the main reasons we hold them. We supplied 1,500kVA of temporary power to Ramsay Health in the Melbourne CBD through three 500kVA super-silent sets after a sub-station flood, and multiple temporary units up to 1,250kVA to the Alfred for critical backup of the intensive care unit during switchboard upgrades.
Can a silent generator run overnight?
Yes. They are built for continuous running, and we handle refuelling from our own trucks on a schedule that suits the run, so a night shift or a weekend shutdown does not run dry.
Do you deliver, connect and refuel it?
Yes. Delivery on our own tilt trays and crane trucks, connection and commissioning by our in-house A-grade electricians, and fuel managed for as long as the hire runs. We are on call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
