What to Consider When Renting a Mining Generator

Not sure which generator is right for your site? Here are the key things to think about before you hire:

Request a Generator Consultation
  • POWER OUTPUT
    What equipment are you running — drills, lighting, battery chargers? We’ll help you size the generator so you’re never underpowered.
  • ENERGY SOURCE
    Diesel is reliable for high-load, long-term use. Battery power is clean, quiet, and perfect for underground environments.
  • PORTABILITY
    Need to move the unit often? Go with a trailer-mounted or compact portable option.
  • COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
    Every SGH generator meets mining safety standards — including noise, emissions, and electrical testing. We’ll guide you through compliance.

What size generator do I need for mining operations?

It depends on the load — drills, pumps, conveyors, lighting, camps. Tell us what you’re running and we’ll size the right kVA or kWh solution. You can also get a quick estimate using our Generator Size Calculator.

Can I rent a generator for a short-term mining project?

Yes. Daily, weekly, and long-term hire are all available. Scale up or down as your project changes. Get a Quote.

What type of generators are best for mining?

Diesel for heavy-duty, continuous loads. Battery or hybrid units for low-emission, underground, or backup support.

Do you offer servicing for hired generators?

Absolutely. We handle preventative maintenance, breakdown repairs, and compliance testing during your rental.

What happens if power fails on a mining site?

Power loss can stop machinery, disrupt safety systems, and halt production. Emergency generators provide immediate backup to restore critical operations and reduce downtime.

How fast can emergency generators be delivered to a mine site?

SGH can dispatch and install generators within hours depending on your location and access requirements, with nationwide coverage across Australia.

Can I buy parts for my mining generator?

Yes. We sell spare Generator parts such as filters, batteries, controllers, tanks, cables, and more — even if you didn’t rent from us.
