What You Need to Know Before Hiring Your Next Generator (Feat. PR Power)
Why Choose Generator Hire Over Purchase?
If you’re running a worksite, planning an event, or managing a temporary setup, buying a generator outright often doesn’t stack up. Sure, owning sounds convenient, until you realise you’re stuck with a machine you need to store, service, and eventually upgrade.
Hiring a generator gives you freedom. You get the right unit, sized to your job, without the long-term hassle. It’s cost-effective, especially when you only need power for a set time. Plus, you’re not footing the bill for maintenance or breakdowns, that’s handled by your hire provider.
For most businesses, flexibility is key. Project timelines may shift, and demands tend to fluctuate. Hiring means you can adapt without wasting money or time.
Types of Generators Available for Hire
At Opt Hire, we’ve partnered with PR Power to give you access to a reliable fleet of quality generators that suit a range of industries from construction to civil, events, emergency response, and more.
Diesel Generators
Diesel units are still the main choice for heavy-duty work. They’re fuel-efficient and can handle large loads for extended periods.
Hybrid Generators
For projects looking to cut down on fuel costs and emissions, hybrid units offer the best of both worlds. These generators combine diesel engines with battery storage, automatically switching to battery power when loads are light.
Solar Generators
If you’re working in off-grid or eco-friendly settings, solar generator systems are a smart option. They harness renewable energy to supply consistent power without burning through fuel.
Portable Generators
Need something small and easy to relocate? Portable generators are ideal for short-term or low-power jobs like powering small pumps or remote monitoring stations. They’re compact and easy to transport, making them a handy addition to any jobsite.
The Generator Hiring Process
Choosing the right generator and arranging hire can seem complex. Opt Hire gets it, and we’ve simplified the process to ensure you get exactly what you need, when you need it, with no unnecessary delays or confusion.
- Identify your load. Start by figuring out exactly what you’re powering. Knowing your load helps us help you match the right generator to your site.
- Check out your quote. Once we know what you’re after, we’ll send through a clear, itemised quote. Whether it’s for a one-day job or a multi-month hire, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for from the get-go.
- Get the right advice. Our team knows the equipment inside out. We’ll fine‑tune sizing, site setup, and compliance support so you can avoid costly mistakes.
- Delivery to site. We’ll deliver the generator to your site and make sure everything’s ready to go. Our in-house team of technicians can set it up, test the system, and give your crew a run-through if needed.
- On hand support. Got a question? Our support doesn’t end at delivery. We’re available throughout the hire period for maintenance, servicing, or troubleshooting.
- Equipment pick up. When the job’s complete, we’ll arrange pickup and handle the off-hire process, so you can move straight on to your next project without the hassle of leftover equipment.
