Diesel Generators for Rent in Dubai

What to consider when renting diesel generators

A few checks before you request a quote for diesel generators in Dubai save time later:

• Know your numbers: the specifications that matter most for diesel generators are rated output. Having them to hand makes quotes faster and more accurate.
• Check who will run it. Diesel generators are often dry hire, so if nobody on your crew is qualified, ask the supplier whether an operator can be added.
• Ask about fuel: tank size and run time between refills, who supplies the fuel, and whether a sound-attenuated canopy, auto-start or paralleling is needed.
• Ask what delivery and return cost, who loads and unloads, and the condition the machine must be returned in.
• Ask for the registration, inspection and operator documents your site or client requires before the machine arrives.

Choosing the right diesel generator size

The first question for diesel generators is rated output. Arabian Tool groups listings into these classes: 20 kVA, 60 kVA, 750 kVA, 1000 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.

If you prefer a particular make, these have dedicated pages: Cummins, Perkins, Aksa and Atlas Copco. Standardising on one brand can simplify parts and operator training.

What affects the price of renting diesel generators

Two quotes for diesel generators can differ widely for good reasons. Check these factors when you compare:

• Duration: longer hires are usually priced lower per day, and many suppliers quote daily, weekly and monthly rates.
• Site and access: remote sites, restricted access and special permits can add cost.
• Machine size and age: larger, newer or better-equipped machines are priced higher.

Typical projects for diesel generators in Dubai

Dubai is the largest city in the United Arab Emirates and a major regional hub for construction, trade and logistics, home to Jebel Ali Port. Diesel generators are core equipment for construction, as well as industrial and power work.

They are also hired for backup power for critical facilities and plants, as well as power for events and exhibitions.

Industrial areas, ports and project sites such as Jebel Ali Port, Jebel Ali Free Zone and Dubai Industrial City are part of the picture around Dubai. Say which site you are working at so suppliers can quote delivery properly.

Nearby bases and their straight-line distance from Dubai: Sharjah (about 20 km) and Abu Dhabi (about 120 km). Delivery is priced on the actual route and the machine's size, so ask each supplier for a delivered price.
