Power supplies for your temporary accommodation

Providing power to any temporary accommodation, whether a portable cabin or a modular building, is straightforward and cost-effective when you hire a generator from Pickerings.

Selecting the right generator                          

A stable power supply is a basic requirement for any site or construction project. Whether you’re undergoing refurbishment of existing facilities, working on a new residential development or building vital infrastructure, getting the right amount of power for the job is an important consideration. For most construction sites, attaining a reliable power supply will require a generator. It is important to ensure that your generator is optimally sized to match the load requirements of the site.

We can provide power solutions no matter whether your load is for a small portable cabin containing a kettle and laptop or a modular building complex of multiple offices, toilet blocks and changing rooms. 

We offer a full range of silenced and super-silenced power generation sets, which provide clean, stable power for construction sites, hired buildings, outside events or for secure back-up systems. Our generators offer a power range from 2kVA up to 100kVA, with single and three-phase power options available. Speak to one of our sales advisors about the range of generators available from Pickerings.

All generators for hire comply with HSE regulations on emissions and noise. You can also hire all the ancillaries you need from Pickerings, including fuel tanks, extension leads and distribution panels in single-phase or three-phase formats.

Low-noise mobile generators for portable power

You can also choose to hire a mobile generator for a more portable way to provide essential power. Our mobile generators range from a handy 6kVA set, up to a substantial 25kVA diesel unit fitted to a tow trailer. The 25kVA set can be fully canopied and silenced to whisper-quiet levels, making it ideal for use in urban or noise-sensitive locations. 

Distribution Boards

A comprehensive line of distribution panels is available to hire. Configurations such as single phase, three phase and 110v systems can be made available. Pickerings also stocks a range of extension leads for hire or sale to suit individual requirements. 

Welfare Service Pod

Alternatively, you may wish to consider the Pickerings Self-powered welfare range that has been designed to provide a constant water and electrical supply where no mains facilities are available.

For sites with no mains power, water or services, we offer an entirely self-contained welfare service pod. The unit has been designed to provide constant water and electrical supplies. It features a 1000-litre water tank with a mains-pressure water pump, a super-silenced generator in a range of power configurations, and a 1000-litre bunded fuel tank – all housed in a secure, anti-vandal steel container. A simple-to-use distribution board and water outlets make this a plug-and-play unit that is quick and easy to set up.
