How to Choose the Right Generator

Choosing the right generator starts with understanding what you need to power, how the generator will be used and where it will operate.

Capacity is only one consideration. Phase, starting demand, runtime, noise, placement and installation can all affect which generator is suitable. SGH can assess your requirements and recommend the right options.

Which generator brands are available?

Our current online range includes generator systems using Cummins, FPT, Perkins, Scania and Yanmar engines, along with Solar Mate models. Availability varies by capacity and application, so contact us for current options.

Do your generators include a warranty?

Warranty terms depend on the generator, manufacturer and equipment condition. The warranty that applies to your generator will be confirmed in the written quotation before purchase.

Do you sell used or ex-demo generators?

Our listed range primarily focuses on new generators. Used or ex-demo equipment may become available, so contact our team to ask about current stock, condition and applicable warranty terms.
