Planning a Large Outdoor Event? Hire a Generator

Large-scale outdoor events like beer festivals, concerts, food festivals, and carnivals need expert planning to be a success – and that includes a steady power supply from CAT generators or gensets. Here are some tips from our team on how to hire generators and plan your event.

Hire generators

What type of hire generator do I need?

Generators come in a wide range of sizes and fuel types, each offering different benefits. The most important factors to consider are:

  • Load capacity – It’s important to have a clear idea of what you want the generator or genset to power. You don’t have to know the specific wattage, as our team will be able to work that out if you have a comprehensive list of equipment that you need to be powered. This can include ambient or flood lighting, music and sound equipment, lighting for dancefloors or performances, heating or cooling equipment, and refrigeration equipment. This will determine what size generator you’ll need.

  • Fuel type – Generally, diesel CAT generators are the best option for large outdoor events. They are noisy but can come in enclosures to reduce noise if that is an issue. They are affordable to run, very energy-efficient and known for their reliability – a must for any professional event.

  • Hire generator – It’s important to partner with an experienced and professional company when you hire a generator. Their team will be able to help you choose a system with the correct capacity for your event as well as take care of the installation and transportation of the generator. They need to be reliable to ensure that they are there on the day to set up the generator or genset, test it thoroughly and ensure that your event has stable, high-quality power.

Outdoor electrical considerations to keep in mind


Generators need to run outdoors where there is plenty of ventilation because they produce dangerous fumes. However, there are several additional considerations to keep in mind when planning your outdoor event.

  • All wiring to and from the generator needs to be done by a licensed electrician who will test it before the event and ensure that everything meets Australian safety requirements and that electrical supply is properly earthed.
  • All cables need to be buried or secured to ensure that they are not a tripping or safety hazard.
  • Be sure to check the weather for your event and ensure that you have proper protection for the generator and electrical cables in the event of rain.
  • For very large events, you may need portable generators for tools, catering, emergency lighting and more.

Why Diesel Generators?  Diesel generators have long been the preferred choice for off-grid electrical power solutions in tough environments.

Diesel is readily available – As a fuel, diesel is widely available so it’s not difficult or expensive to transport it to remote sites. It can also be stored for a reasonable amount of time – around 6 months – or longer, if
