What to Expect When You Hire a Generator from Us
An electrical generator, a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, is useful across all kinds of industries. It provides a consistent source of power in mines and remote construction sites that are a long way from the electricity grid. Industries like healthcare and aged care facilities require generators to keep running life-saving equipment in case of a power outage, while film sets and music festivals use them to cover large-scale, complex power needs.
However, there are some basic questions to ask yourself before hiring a generator in Australia.
The most important factor is generator size. Generators have varying degrees of power, from small 1kVA types to larger models that reach up to 2500kVA. How many hours a day you’ll be operating the generator plays a large role, as does the load required. Industrial sites with heavier power demands typically require three-phase power, which has three currents running simultaneously, with one always close to peak power.
Diesel generators have a number of advantages in the industry due to being strong, durable, low-maintenance and having enhanced fuel efficiency. They’re ideal for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications where you need all the power you can get.
Total Generators has generators for hire in Brisbane, Cloncurry, Moranbah and Katherine, NT, powering the needs of all types of industries. We’re the supplier of choice for a large number of construction providers, remote mining camps, film production companies and other businesses with demanding power needs.
Here’s a detailed look at the Total Generators process and what you can expect when hiring a generator from us.
The Service to Expect When Hiring
Total Generators provides friendly and helpful service informed by more than 25 years of industry experience. Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, we take a customised approach designed to meet your unique requirements. We keep on top of industry trends and ensure all our staff have regular training, so that our knowledge and experience when providing you with solutions is second to none.
We design unique power solutions that you can adapt to your individual situation, and invest in research and development to ensure we always offer the most relevant advice.
Total Generators offers generator sales, hire, and servicing. It’s our hiring option that many businesses find the most flexible, affordable, and convenient. Whether you’ve rented generators many times before or you’re completely new to the process, we can show you our options and offer our expert advice in order to provide the right generator for you. From our office locations in Brisbane, Cloncurry, Moranbah and Katherine, NT, we can provide you with a generator you can depend on even in a remote, highly isolated location.
What’s Included in our Generator Hire?
Total Generators’ generator hire options include generators of all sizes, from 18kVA-20kVA combos all the way through to the heavy-duty 1250kVA generators. If you need help figuring out what size generator to hire, we can offer you advice on sizing as well as a power calculator that converts kVA to amperage and other metrics.
Total Generators can assess the size and power needs of your space and provide you with the appropriate power solutions. If you’re stuck and needing a helping hand, we provide 24/7 emergency support so you can quickly get back into action.
Our extensive range includes the best diesel generators for hire, super silent generators for everything from small parties to large functions, trailer-mounted generators and solar hybrids. Alongside our generators for hire, we also provide a range of accessories including transformers, fuel cells, load banks, distribution boards, cables and powerlocks.
Total Generators provides a scheduled service of your diesel generator for hire that includes comprehensive electrical and fuel inspection, complete oil and filter change and checking factors like battery charge levels, cooling systems, seals and corrosion. Not only do we provide the best possible generator for your needs, but we also service and maintain it for you.
Why Hire Instead of Buy?
Ultimately, the decision to invest in buying a generator for your long-term use or to rent one is up to you. Here are some reasons why the choice to rent can be a smart move:
Cost savings
Affordability plays a huge part in everyone’s decision-making, and every business needs to balance its budget. Buying a generator is a significant expense, while renting one comes at a lower cost. It’s a decision that makes more sense if you only need a generator temporarily for short-term usage.
Flexibility
Your power needs may change as you move onto different projects or your business expands. By renting a generator, you give yourself the option to swap or upgrade whenever you need to, without sinking a serious amount of expense into your generator.
No maintenance
Total Generators covers the maintenance of your generator for hire, which means you can save yourself difficult jobs, potentially dangerous situations and extra expenses.
Access to the latest technology
Buying a generator often means settling for the most up-to-date generator your budget can stretch to. If you’re not careful, you can end up with a generator that’s coming to the end of its lifespan or one that doesn’t quite cover your needs. When you rent from Total Generators, you can access the newest and most fuel-efficient models without having any outdated equipment to replace.
Avoid depreciation
Like many machines, generators typically lose value over time, and a generator you’ve purchased can turn into a long-term liability. When you rent a generator, you only pay for the value you use, and can rest assured that you’re not losing money needlessly.
Regulatory compliance is easier
If you’re not familiar with your local laws around generator use, there’s a greater danger of project interruptions and shutdowns. Total Generators can help you ensure the generator you hire complies with local noise regulations and adheres to other safety requirements. Our team is on standby to help you clarify anything you’re unsure of.
