Don’t risk downtime – get the right kit, first time.
Whether you’re powering a construction site, a temporary event, or a remote agricultural setup, hiring a generator isn’t just a tick-box exercise. There are a few key decisions to get right – and getting them wrong can cost you in delays, fuel inefficiencies, and unexpected breakdowns.
At Genny Hire Ltd, we’ve seen it all – and we’re here to make sure your generator hire is smooth, reliable, and perfectly matched to your needs.
Here’s our no-fuss checklist to help you get started:
✅ 1. Know your power requirements (kVA Matters)
This is where most hires go wrong. Underestimating your power demand leads to overloaded equipment. Overestimating it? You’re paying for capacity you don’t need.
Speak to us with your full load requirements – including peak loads, surge starts (for pumps, compressors, etc.), and future add-ons. We’ll match you with the right size generator (measured in kVA) for both performance and fuel efficiency.
✅ 2. Understand your runtime needs
Are you running 24/7 or just during working hours?
We factor in fuel tank capacity, engine efficiency, and refuelling schedules to ensure minimal interruptions. If you're operating in a remote or unmanned site, we can spec a larger tank or organise scheduled refuels.
✅ 3. Consider site conditions
Every site is different — and your power setup needs to suit it.
Ask yourself:
- Is the ground level and accessible?
- Are there noise restrictions? (We offer super silent generators for built-up or event spaces.)
- Is there space for cable runs, fuel storage and distribution boards?
Let us know your layout — we’ll advise on the most efficient setup.
✅ 4. Don’t forget the distribution and cabling
Getting the generator on site is just the start. You’ll likely need:
- Cables and cable ramps
- Distribution boards
- Sockets and plugs to match your equipment
We supply and install all the extras — ensuring everything is safe, compliant, and ready to run.
✅ 5. Service, support & response times
Some companies drop the kit and disappear. We don’t.
At Genny Hire, every hire includes:
- 24/7 breakdown cover
- Regularly serviced and inspected equipment
- Technical advice from real humans, not call centres
We’re here to keep you powered — no matter what.
Final word
Hiring a generator isn’t just about plugging in and switching on. It’s about choosing the right partner, with the right kit, and the right backup. Genny Hire Ltd takes pride in doing it right – every time.
