Finding the right generator seems easy. You match the kilowatt rating to your needs and place an order. But for any critical job, from protecting cold storage to powering essential infrastructure, buying the machine is only the first step. A true partner does more than just sell a product. They listen to the challenge, apply years of technical experience, and deliver a setup that works for your specific operation. Our team at Generator Source lives for these kinds of problems.
Real Challenges, Real Solutions
1. Finding the Right Phase to Protect Perishables
A food processing company called us with a serious problem. They needed backup power for their freezers, where even a short outage could mean thousands in lost product. Their equipment required a single-phase generator in the 60kW range, one that can be tough to find. Instead of hitting a dead end, our team looked at the problem from an engineering perspective. We located a durable 100kW three-phase diesel unit with a John Deere engine and advised them on how it could be professionally converted to single-phase. The result? They got a reliable, perfectly tailored solution that keeps their business safe.
2. Upgrading a Vintage Research Vessel for Remote Monitoring
We got a call from the chief engineer of a vintage research vessel. Their generators were solid, but monitoring them meant physically being in the engine room, reading manual gauges. The engineer wanted to track voltage, amps, and frequency in real-time from his office computer over Wi-Fi. This was a custom job, not a standard sale. Our team put on their consulting hats, recommending modern monitoring hardware that could be integrated with the classic equipment without a major overhaul. We gave the engineer a clear path forward, showing our expertise goes beyond the generator to the entire power system.
3. Providing Confidence for a Major Manufacturing Investment
A large manufacturing facility was planning an expansion and needed two 2000kW generators. This was a major investment, and they needed to be certain they were making the right choice. They were looking at a specific diesel model but wanted an expert opinion before committing. Our specialist gave them more than just a price. He provided a full business case, explaining the long-term benefits of the unit’s Stamford alternator and why diesel was the most reliable and cost-effective choice for their specific needs. This expert advice gave them the confidence to move forward with a sound investment.
