Diesel Generators for Sale in Abu Dhabi

What to check before buying diesel generators

Buying diesel generators in Abu Dhabi is a long-term commitment, so check these points first:

• Compare the specifications that matter most for diesel generators: rated output. Confirm them on the machine's data plate, not only in the advert.
• Ask for running hours, service history and the last load test, and check the engine, alternator or air end, and control panel.
• Ask for the ownership and registration documents and check that they match the machine's serial number.
• Arrange an inspection before you pay, ideally by someone independent of the seller.

Choosing the right diesel generator size

Most enquiries for diesel generators start with rated output. The classes you can open from this page are 20 kVA, 250 kVA, 500 kVA, 750 kVA and 2000 kVA.

Choose by total connected load plus the starting load of your largest motor, with some headroom. kVA multiplied by the power factor (typically 0.8) gives the kW available.

Brands with their own pages: Caterpillar, Cummins, FG Wilson and Atlas Copco. A brand page helps if you need a specific make for operator familiarity or parts support.

What affects the price of diesel generators for sale

Quotes for diesel generators differ from supplier to supplier. These are the factors that move the price:

• Condition and hours: a lower hour-meter reading and a documented service history usually support a higher price.
• Year and model: newer models and popular configurations hold their value better.
• Location and transport: moving heavy equipment adds cost that depends on distance and machine size.
