Long-term • Industrial • Corporate • Project power
Diesel power, for as long as you need it.
Long-term diesel generator hire and lease for industrial sites, construction projects, corporate facilities and remote operations.
When your operation needs reliable power for the duration of a project – weeks, months or years – Shaw Diesels supplies, installs, services and supports the right generator for the job.
Most of our hire and lease arrangements are long-term. We’re not the right fit for a weekend BBQ or a short-term home generator – but if you’re running an industrial site, a construction project, or a corporate facility that needs prime or standby power for an extended period, talk to us.
A genset on site, fully looked after.
A long-term hire from Shaw Diesels is more than a generator drop-off. We design the package around your project.
- Site assessment and sizing – we work out the right kVA for your load profile, redundancy needs and run hours
- Delivery, installation and commissioning – on site, ready to run
- Scheduled servicing – manufacturer-spec maintenance for the duration of the lease, included
- 24/7 priority response – our team is on call if something goes wrong, anywhere in NZ and the Pacific
- Genuine parts and fluids – from our NZ-stocked inventory, covered as part of the agreement
- Load bank testing and reporting – for compliance, audit and insurance purposes where required
- Refuelling arrangements – managed for you, or self-fuel – whatever suits your operation
- Decommissioning and removal – clean handover at end of term
Where long-term hire makes sense.
A few of the scenarios where industrial and corporate operators choose to lease rather than buy.
Construction projects
Site offices, tower cranes, dewatering pumps and temporary site power for the duration of the build – with one supplier accountable for fuel, service and response.
Planned mains works
Bridging power for switchgear replacements, transformer upgrades, utility connection works or scheduled maintenance windows where the building can’t go offline.
Temporary facility power
Prime power for a new facility awaiting permanent grid connection – or supplementary capacity while a permanent generator is commissioned.
Off-grid and remote operations
Reliable diesel power for industrial operations beyond the reach of mains supply – on the mainland or across the Pacific Islands.
Long-term standby
Standby generation on lease where buying isn’t the right fit – for facilities, infrastructure operators or corporate sites who want guaranteed backup without the capital outlay.
Bridging power
Cover for plant upgrades, equipment changeouts and major refits at industrial sites where production can’t stop while the work happens.
Lease, instead of buying outright.
For a project running months or years, leasing usually beats buying.
You pay only for the period you need power. Service, parts, response and compliance reporting are all rolled into a predictable monthly cost. There’s no capital outlay, no resale headache, and no balance-sheet asset to manage.
If your operation runs across multiple sites or shifts location during a project, the unit moves with you. And when the project ends, we collect it.
