The point of buying a quality Diesel Generator is to add a reliable piece of machinery to your home or business. Doing your research before purchasing your Diesel Generator is important, in Australia this can be tricky as there are so many options available for potential buyers. Whether you are confused on Brand, Power Requirements, Size or Specifications it is essential to understand the basics and what you may need before buying impulsively.


Online is a great place to start the search for the right Generator - however it can open up pandora's box.


Before starting your search you need to decide which application is right for your needs. There are three applications to choose from:


  • Standby is where the generator is used only in the event of a blackout. This means the machine will only run for a small amount of hours each year. The main decision making factors for selecting a Standby Generator are Price & Access to Service and Parts because of the machines low run time.



  • Stationary Generators will be used as the sole source of power and will be fixed in one position or very rarely moved over the course of its life. Over 90% of the cost of running a Stationary Diesel Generator is fuel, so fuel consumption is key to the decision making criteria.


  • Mobile as with Stationary, a mobile generator will run for many hours so fuel consumption is the key decision making criteria but a robust canopy must be selected as the unit will be moved between sites for construction and mining or as rental units.
