Question 2

Is a used diesel generator good for Industrial or commercial use?

Accepted Answer

Used diesel generators can be affordable solutions for industrial and commercial use, but it depends on the condition they&#8217;re in. Remember, if the price seems too good to be true, that&#8217;s because it probably is.

We have a range of models available and put customer satisfaction at the heart of everything we do. Each used generator undergoes extensive testing to ensure reliable prime and temporary power.

Question 3

What is a specified industrial generator?

Accepted Answer

A specified industrial generator is a model created to meet unique industrial needs. These generators deliver superior power output and use diesel fuel to maximise efficiency. They also comply with industry standards and regulations.

Question 4

What type of permit do I need for commercial generators?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your local regulations. You might need to apply for a permit when installing your generator indoors and check that you&#8217;re adhering to noise regulations. Building and electrical permits might also be necessary. If you&#8217;re unsure whether you can install a generator, our professionals can offer expert advice and isolate suitable areas for placement.

Question 5

What is the minimum kVA/kW required for industrial or commercial use?

Accepted Answer

The minimum kVA (kilo-volt-amperes) or kW (kilowatts) your business will require depends on its specific power needs. For example, small manufacturing businesses could use a 30 kVA diesel generator to power equipment, but a large industrial plant or data centre will need a higher-capacity model.

Question 6

What size generator do I need?

Accepted Answer

When choosing commercial generators, remember to consider the following factors: Industry: The manufacturing industry has higher power needs than retail stores, as businesses rely on heavy-duty equipment. Equipment: The type of equipment, machinery or appliances your company uses will also determine the power consumption. Building size: Large buildings require more power. Consider the size of your building and choose a generator that meets your needs. Large industrial plants and data centres might require a generator with a 1000 kVA capacity.

Question 7

How long will an industrial generator last?

Accepted Answer

Industrial generators are built to offer consistent performance and handle large loads. Generally, your generator can last at least 15 years, with many exceeding 20 years. It depends on whether you stick to a regular maintenance schedule and follow manufacturer recommendations when operating it.
