Why rent a generator?

There are 3 main reasons you might be wondering if you can rent a generator:

  • You have no other power supply available.
  • There is insufficient power supply from the commercial supplier to meet the required amount.
  • An alternate source of electrical power or emergency power is required due to loss of mains power.

An unexpected loss of power can have a big impact on businesses. Such power losses can seriously affect different organisations:

  • Hospitals – a loss of patient monitoring and/ or life support.
  • Data Centres – a loss in data processing and some data.
  • Offices and accommodation buildings – a loss in power, lighting and lifts.
  • Manufacturing plants – loss of production, raw material and/or products
