Planned power cuts can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, which is why it’s so important to have a dependable temporary power source.
Thompson Power Systems provides portable generators for rent, empowering you to meet your short-term power generation needs. Our highly trained experts will help you select the ideal Cat® mobile generator sets to keep your operations running smoothly. We rigorously maintain, service, and test our rental fleet to comply with safety and emissions standards.
Strategic Solutions for Your Temporary Power Needs
Portable generators for rent are ideal for diverse planned and unexpected power needs. These solutions fit various applications:
Emergencies and Outages
When a storm or grid failure impacts your main power supply, renting offers the fastest path to restore business continuity. You avoid the upfront cost and maintenance responsibilities of an owned asset, while getting an immediate, reliable power source.
Planned Projects and Special Events
Whether you’re powering a remote construction site, hosting a large special event, or managing a facility shutdown for maintenance, renting provides the most efficient choice. It eliminates the need for long-term storage while providing a reliable solution for short-term power needs.
Peak Production and Increased Demand
When your facility needs to temporarily boost its operational capacity, a mobile generator set rental can support the increased power load. This flexibility allows you to scale up for peak production without committing to a permanent, expensive equipment upgrade.
Whatever your application, we offer solutions tailored to meet your needs. Cat generators are some of the most dependable power sources on the market, and with our coverage and service options, you can rest assured you’ll get the most out of your investment. Our knowledgeable team is here to help you select the ideal generator for your application.
NEED MOBILE POWER EQUIPMENT?
Rent the portable generator you need to keep operations moving.
In certain situations, you don’t need to purchase a whole new generator. We carry a selection of diesel Cat rental generators for short-term needs, like planned maintenance and emergency breakdowns. If you’re seeking a mobile gas generator set rental, please reach out to check availability. For standby rental options, we offer diesel and gas generator sets.
Some of our rental models include:
XQ125 Portable Generator Rental
This unit is a highly durable and energy-efficient diesel generator that offers maximum productivity with minimal emissions. It’s ideal for applications where a balance of capable power and operational efficiency matters.
Its 125 kVA is perfectly suited for powering small to midsized construction sites, running multiple job trailers, or providing backup power for retail stores and healthcare clinics. The fuel consumption makes it a cost-efficient option for longer-term rentals or planned shutdowns.
XQ125’s sound-attenuated enclosure keeps noise levels at 65 dB(A), making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Also, its smaller footprint compared to the XQ230 allows for easier placement on jobsites where space is limited.
XQ230 Towable Generator Set Rental
With nearly double the power output, the Cat XQ230 is engineered for more demanding, power-intensive jobs. Powered by a C7.1 ACERT™ diesel engine, this mobile generator handles the heavy loads large-scale construction projects require, powers industrial facilities during maintenance shutdowns, or acts as a primary source for entire commercial buildings.
Its 228 kVA capacity can comfortably run multiple pieces of heavy equipment, large-scale water pumps, or critical process equipment, minimizing downtime during an emergency.
While larger than the XQ125, the XQ230 deploys rapidly, making it the ideal mobile diesel generator set rental for urgent, high-demand power needs requiring reliability and significant wattage.
