Case Study: Efficient supply of reliable prime-power for food manufacturer

In late 2022 there was a huge demand for diesel generators both domestically due to the threat of winter power cuts and also the demand for power in Ukraine.
As a result it was a very challenging time for UK consumers to buy diesel generators within reasonable time frames.

Our customer approached us as they had a new machine installed, and the power demand was too large for their existing power supply. This brought a new requirement to buy a diesel generator to supply the machine during business hours.

Being a fresh food producer, and disruption to power would every costly and they required a high quality, reliable diesel generator, with good support.

As Solent Power is, and always will be an independent supplier of diesel generators, we had access to the whole market to find a suitable diesel generator for our client.

We sourced and supplied a fantastic 200kVA Caterpillar generator (CAT) and also managed to source and supply a used 3000L diesel tank to provide long run times between refuels.

Caterpillar generators have a strong reputation for being one of the best prime-power diesel generators on the market with good UK generator support.

The unit was promptly delivered within days, saving precious time getting the new machine only and operation for the client.

Our engineers visited to connect the generator and tank and perform inspections and tests on load to ensure the unit performed efficiently to power the machinery.
