What is prime & standby power?

Standby power is a backup power source which automatically kicks in if the mains power was to fail.

Prime power is an instant power supply.

What is synchronizing?

Synchronizing is where you link two or more generators together, using specific cables we provide, to produce a larger power output than the individual machines.

Do they come with fuel?

All our generators are delivered with a full tank of fuel and should be returned with the same full tank. Any shortfall will be filled upon return and fuel added will be charged as per the contract conditions.

Adding diesel fuel is easy enough however many customers find it easier to simply instruct us to manage the fuel levels for them – just be sure to let us know your preference at the time of hire.

How do I refuel?

You can supply and fill your own diesel fuel on-site or you can instruct our operatives to attend the fuel management for you.

What if I have a problem?

Our staff are at hand to help with any questions or issues? Rest assured our emergency line is open 24/7 on 07398 975948.

Do you offer short term & long term rentals?

We offer short term rentals for days, weeks or months, these can also be ‘open-ended’ if necessary to meet client needs.

We also provide long term rentals for set periods to cover planned works, extending to permanent on-site power solutions such as permanent potential emergency back-up.

Do I have to provide my own insurance?

Yes, it’s the Hirers responsibility to provide the correct ‘Hired In’ insurance cover for the machine. Note, this is something your business insurance may well cover anyway but you should check to be sure, and if not then simply contact your insurer to arrange suitable cover. They’ll know what to do.

Do you hire to the public?

No, strictly only business to business.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, we take a small holding deposit which is fully refunded once the machine has been returned in the same condition it was left on delivery.

What areas do you cover?

We cover all of Essex, London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Suffolk.

For fixed period long term rentals or permanent on-site back-up rentals we do service a wider geographic area – Please contact us for a quotation.

How quickly can you deliver?

Understandably there are documentation requirements that need completing for any hire however, especially if you have an account set-up with us, we can deliver your machine within just a few hours – dependent on location of course!

Can I collect?

Unfortunately, we only offer an outbound deliveries and don’t offer a collection service from our depot. Circumstances may differ – Please contact us to discuss.
