Applications of a Cat® Diesel Generator Set Rental
Diesel generators operate by burning diesel fuel to produce electricity, providing a stable backup power source for various industrial settings, including:
- Construction sites: For jobsites without grid access, generators power everything from tools and welding equipment to trailers and security lighting. Renting is ideal in these projects as it enables you to match the generator size to the project phase, scaling up for heavy equipment and down for finishing work without making a major capital investment for a temporary job.
- Mines: In remote locations, diesel generator set rentals power critical life support systems like dewatering pumps, ventilation, and heavy processing equipment. They’re also ideal for new or exploratory sites that require flexible power solutions before you build permanent infrastructure.
- Agricultural settings: Generators power essential equipment like irrigation pumps, grain dryers, and climate control systems for livestock barns. Since many of these needs are seasonal, renting a generator set is more cost-effective than purchasing and storing a unit that sits idle for much of the year.
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities: Rent a diesel generator to provide supplemental power during scheduled maintenance on the main system or to add capacity during a facility expansion, ensuring operating rooms, life support systems, and diagnostic equipment remain powered during an outage.
- Data centers: In an industry where uptime matters considerably, generators provide essential backup power to prevent data loss and service disruptions. Renting allows your data center to take its permanent generators offline for service while a rental unit stands by, guaranteeing continuous operations.
- Landfills: For pilot projects or during system upgrades, renting provides uninterrupted operations of methane gas capture and leachate collection systems, promoting environmental compliance.
- Power stations: Power stations use generators to provide the power needed to restart the main plant after a total shutdown. Diesel generator rental solutions are ideal alternatives when the permanent unit is undergoing maintenance or as a backup to the station’s own backup systems.
- Wastewater treatment plants: Renting a diesel generator set during electrical upgrades or emergencies ensures the plant’s pumps, control systems, and aerators remain operational, preventing environmental contamination and costly compliance issues.
- Manufacturing facilities: Unplanned downtime can halt production lines, spoil materials, and result in substantial financial losses. Renting a generator enables a facility to continue operating through a planned utility outage or to temporarily boost power in the short term, while eliminating maintenance and storage costs.
