Facts About Generator Rental Companies

By Dorothy Raj


When electrical power goes out, enterprises and other entities often try to find a way to momentarily restore power in order for life sustaining conditions, safe operations and other critical needs be met. Natural gas, gasoline and diesel fueled generators are oftentimes chosen for this temporary power source. Since not all businesses can afford to purchase their own generators, a generators rental company is the next best thing.

Most of these generators being leased by power rentals come with ratings of as low as a few hundred watts to ratings of as high as a few hundred kilowatts, with some units going as high as thousands of kilowatts. If you're planning to hire generators in Singapore, you might need several units working together for you to achieve the amount of energy needed by your business. These units can run automatically or manually, or it may be controlled via remote, depending on the application.

A generators rental company can provide you with a small energy generating plant which can serve as a source of temporary mobile power, as base-load operation energy or as emergency standby power unit. These units can also be run on diesel or gas with some sets driven by steam. Some businesses require steam operated units since these can supply them with both power and heat.

Remote areas that are located far from the national supply usually end up using gas turbine or base-load diesel generating sets. These are often utilized with water and oil pipeline pumping stations, lighthouses, and oil fields and sewage schemes. Most of the time however, these small power plants serve as standby power sources.

Some establishments that require continued power to exist like nuclear plants an alternative power source is a necessity. Businesses can suffer great losses too when a power outage takes place. A drop in productivity as well as damage to equipment can also be anticipated from such an event. For this reason, companies that require a continuous process often end up getting a stand-by power unit that is either a diesel engine driven machine or a UPS.

With a diesel engine driven generator rented out from a generators rental company, you should ensure that parts like protective guards to cover moving parts, speed regulators and air cooling units or radiators are in place. Also, you need to check for air, oil and fuel filters that may need to be replaced when servicing occurs.
