Active construction sites need a lot of power to stay up and running. Equipment like cranes, circular saws, air compressors, and other heavy-duty tools need a reliable power source to ensure crews can complete projects on time. An industrial generator will provide the power you need to complete your builds without delay. But what goes into selecting the right unit for a job site that uses so much equipment?
Since 1978, our team at D&R Generators has provided top-of-the-line generators to construction sites in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories. Below, we’ll discuss what to consider when choosing a construction generator rental and why D&R Generators is your best choice for a quality power source. Keep reading!
What to Consider When Choosing a Generator
Construction sites use a lot of power, and you need a generator that can keep up with all the equipment in use throughout the day. At D&R Generators, our electric generators from Stamford vary in size from 50 to 400 kilowatts, which offers a wide selection to choose from based on the needs of your worksite. Before you know which size generator you should select, you have to take a few other factors into account, including the following:
Site Size
If your construction site is a relatively small project, such as a house or small business build, you’ll use less equipment and therefore require less power. However, larger construction sites like industrial builds, apartment complexes, warehouses, etc, will need substantial power to run all the equipment used throughout the day. Depending on the complexity of the build, you may even need several generators. At D&R, we provide single and dual generator setups. If you need extra power for a larger project, we’ve got you covered!
Equipment
The wattage you require largely depends on the type of equipment your construction crew is working with. If you’re working with heavy-duty machinery such as cranes, boom lifts, dragline excavators, or other large-scale equipment, you’ll need a higher wattage to ensure your generator can run at total capacity.
Power Surges
Some construction equipment requires more power to start up than it does to actually operate, which can cause a power surge. If you’re running multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously, you need a generator that can handle the energy reserve caused by power surges and remain operational.
Voltage Capacity
In addition to generator wattage, the voltage capacity plays a huge role in how well equipment can run when attached to the unit. With a higher voltage, you’ll get a much stronger electrical current going from the generator to the equipment, which will allow you to keep your operations at full efficiency.
