Frequently Asked Questions
A diesel generator uses diesel to power an electric generator, which produces electricity. The diesel engine converts the chemical energy in the fuel into mechanical energy, which is then used to turn an alternator to generate electricity.
Diesel generators are known for their high efficiency, durability, and low operating costs. They also have a longer lifespan compared to other types of generators and require less maintenance. They are also more fuel-efficient and produce less emissions than gas generators.
We offer a wide range of generators for hire to suit various applications and industries, including:
- Diesel Generators: Reliable and robust, suitable for most power needs.
- Stage V Generators: Environmentally friendly options that comply with the latest emissions regulations.
- Battery Energy Storage (BES) Units / Hybrid Generators: Ideal for reducing fuel consumption and emissions. They can be combined with a diesel generator or used stand-alone.
- HVO Fuel Generators: Utilise hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a cleaner alternative to diesel.
