Queensland Generator Hire

What our customers are saying

  • After 6 days of emergency power for our accommodation retreat due to a destructive storm, our 100KVA generator fan belt broke Sunday, 31st December. Finding a unique and specialised replacement belt we thought was going to be impossible. Luckily, Southern Generators & Electrical answered our telephone call with a wiliness to assist. They have plenty of generators but also carry spare parts, unlike other generator companies. With good timing and luck, the new fan belt was installed within 4 hours of breakdown. Shout-out to Ryan, Jodie and Chris. Recommended anyone to consider SGE for any power needs.

    The Mouses House Rainforest Retreat

  • SGH provide a seamless service. Byron and his crew are great to deal with, they made the whole process easy and stress free. They ensured minimal service disruption so our business could carry on as normal. Great communication and skilled trades. Highly recommended.

    SPAR Tweed Heads

  • A week or two ago our shop 00 Pizza and a few other shops had lost power from the council because they were fixing it. A clinic had rented a powerful generator to power their shop for the night. The kind guy that worked for SGH allowed us to use some electricity to power our fridges. The generators are extremely reliable and the workers are extremely friendly. Highly recommend.

How much does it cost to hire a generator in Brisbane?

Generator hire pricing depends on the size of the unit, hire duration, fuel usage, and delivery requirements. Small portable generators typically cost less per day, while larger diesel generators for construction sites or industrial applications cost more due to transport, fuel consumption, and runtime. Weekly and long-term hire usually reduces the daily cost.

What size generator do I need for my project?

The correct generator size depends on the total electrical load you need to power. Small events or tools may only require a 2–5 kVA unit, while construction sites, backup systems, or commercial operations often require 20 kVA, 60 kVA, or larger diesel generators. Our team can help calculate the right generator size before confirming hire.
