Options and Applications of Cat Rental Generators

Our rental generators are available in multiple voltage 50/60 Hz configurations, and with a simultaneous dual voltage option. We offer sound attenuated housing for areas where local bylaws prohibit noisy generator use, as well as trailer-mounting for easy transportation to and from your job site.

Use our generator rentals for emergency, prime and standby applications. Our clients range in size and represent various industries, though common rental applications include:

  • Managing excess loads at your facility during periods of high demand
  • Staying operational when regular power equipment is down for repairs
  • Keeping your crew working during emergency situations
  • Trying out a potential purchase in real-world conditions before making a decision

Renting can also be an economical alternative to buying new equipment outright with our affordable monthly rates. Get in touch to have one of our team members run the numbers for you.

Trust the Generator Rental Experts

Choosing the right rental generator is more than just a matter of selecting the most powerful unit you can afford. An overpowered generator is just as ineffective as an underpowered one, and it can lead to higher fuel costs, lower efficiency and greater waste overall. Most generators work best when running at between 50-75% of their rated capacity.

That’s why it’s so important to work with a rental company you can trust. The on-site experts at Carolina CAT can assess your power needs and technical requirements to determine the best rental unit for any upcoming project.
