Hybrid generator hire
3-phase hybrid generators that use less fuel and make less noise and fewer emissions than diesel-only units. Available to hire by the week or month, or to buy.
How a hybrid generator works
A hybrid set pairs solar panels and a battery with a diesel generator. The battery carries the load most of the time, and the engine only starts when it’s needed.
Why choose hybrid
- Lower fuel bills. Hybrid gear burns less fuel than diesel-only, so running costs come down.
- Quieter sites. Less engine running means less noise for crews, neighbours and events.
- Fewer emissions. Helps clients working to emissions targets and sustainability reporting.
- Better at light loads. Published engine-maker guidance says running a diesel-only set below about 30% of rated power can cause wet stacking (unburned fuel and carbon build-up).
See our diesel running cost example for one week of 24/7 site power at light and medium load. Hybrid fuel use depends on your site, so ask us for a comparison.
Hire or buy
- Hire by the week or the month to suit your job.
- Or buy, for sites that need it long term. Warranty and servicing are provided under each unit’s own service arrangements; we’ll confirm what applies with your quote.
- Exact models and specs are confirmed in your quote. Servicing and support details are confirmed in your quote too.
- A real person will get back to you.
What to tell us
Your load, run hours and site conditions, where the site is and when you need power. Any sizing help we give is a guide only, based on the information you give us.
Equipment can fail. For pumps and other critical loads, you need backup power and a failure alarm, and you must tell us before the hire. See our hire terms.
Where we work
We’re based on the Gold Coast and cover south to Byron Bay, north to Hervey Bay and west to Roma, the gas fields and mining sites. Tell us where your site is and we’ll confirm delivery and support for your location.
