Generator Hire Edinburgh

Generator hire for Edinburgh sites and events

We offer a professional, same-day, 24/7 diesel generator hire service. We’ll deliver the generator, install it, talk you through how it works, and collect it when you’re finished, with the minimum of fuss. Hire can be for one day or up to a year, and we can help you find a suitable solution on first contact.

For construction work in and around Edinburgh we supply low-noise generators from 20 to 150 kVA, which are well suited to sites with noise restrictions, as well as secure containerised generators, distribution boards, transformers, power cables, hybrid solutions, and heaters and dehumidifiers. This equipment is trailer mounted and road towable, so it can be positioned where you need it.

If you’re planning a festival, wedding, concert or other event, we provide silent and low-noise generator hire, with a thorough installation and sign-off and 24-hour contact if you need us. For farms and rural sites we can help with water pumping, grain drying, barn and outbuilding heating, and emergency backup during seasonal work. Facilities managers can hire temporary and backup power, heating and drying equipment, and loadbank testing, with ongoing maintenance support and emergency call-out.

If the generator will be running for long periods, we also offer fuel management, including 24/7 refuelling and on-site fuel storage tanks. You can read more on our generator hire, emergency generator hire, event, construction, agriculture, facilities management and fuel management pages.

If you also need heating or drying on site, we hire industrial heaters and dehumidifiers, which are often used to dry out a space or provide frost protection. Many of the smaller generators can be placed discreetly on your premises. To get a generator hired for an Edinburgh site, call us on 0800 069 9966 or send an enquiry and we’ll help you choose the right size, confirm delivery and installation, and keep support in place for the length of the hire.
