Read on and discover how Yellowgate can help power your success.

What does generator hire involve?

As the term may suggest, generator hire involves acquiring a generator from a rental provider and using it over an agreed period of time. This option is particularly suitable for businesses or projects with ongoing power requirements that don't want the upfront costs involved with the purchase of a generator.

What types of generators are available for hire?

At Yellowgate, we can supply a wide range of generator options, including both petrol and diesel generators. No matter your output and unit requirements, we can connect you with the most appropriate solution for your needs. With industry-leading brands available including Cummins, Perkins, and Yanmar, you can rest assured that your generator will provide the ample power you need, and when you need it the most.

How long can I hire a generator for?

At Yellowgate, we offer generator hire to clients on a 12-month minimum term agreement as part of our Rent Now, Buy Later package options.

Where in Australia can you supply generators?

Absolutely everywhere! Yellowgate can supply generators to businesses all across Australia. No matter where you’re located, we can organise the perfect dry hire solution.

Who is responsible for the maintenance of the generator during the hire period?

When you hire a generator from Yellowgate, you will assume responsibility for its maintenance across the duration of the rental period. This includes regular service checks and any routine maintenance in-line with OEM recommendations to ensure the generator continues running at peak performance. Should you have any questions in relation to maintenance requirements, feel free to reach out to a member of our team for assistance.

Do I require a security deposit to hire a generator?

Yes, we require a security deposit for any generator hire agreement. This will be held against the equipment provided and generally equates to the amount of one month’s rent. We'll hold the security bond for as long as you're with us, releasing it only after the conclusion of your contract.

What happens at the end of the generator rental period?

After your 12-month initial term has come to an end, you have the opportunity to purchase the generator with accumulated rental payments contributing to the overall price. Alternatively, you can extend your hire agreement at a reduced rate, or simply return the generator with no additional obligation – it’s entirely up to you!

Do you have other equipment and machinery available for dry hire?

Yes. Aside from our generator hire options, Yellowgate can source and supply a large range of heavy machinery, vehicles, and equipment catering to a range of industry sectors that includes civil works, construction, mining, agriculture, and transport.
