There are all sorts of reasons why your business might require an independent power supply, such as a generator. For example, you might require it only for a one off event or you might want the extra security that standby generators can offer, in case the mains electricity suddenly cuts out for example.
Whatever your reasons for wanting to own a generator there are few things to consider, such as:
Will you buy or hire a generator? Obviously hiring a generator is most cost-effective if you’ll only need it once or twice. However, even ownership can be made more cost-effective if you choose used diesel generators for sale.
What engine/alternator combination is right for your needs? One of the benefits with going to an independent supplier of generators is that they will be able to tell you exactly what you need, and help you to install it to your specific specifications.
In order to ascertain whether the generator you’re getting is right for you, you’ll probably want to inspect the model beforehand. Many independent suppliers will offer this extra service, which can be an advantage especially when you’re buying online.
From time to time your generator might require servicing and so you should look to see whether this is offered by the supplier’s engineers. Obviously when looking at a used model you should get a full service history.
