Industrial Generators
From the Sydney Harbour Tunnel to hospitals, airports and film sets, Macfarlane has powered Australia's most demanding sites since 1949.
Our industrial range runs from 10kVA to over 2500kVA, in Caterpillar, Cummins, MAXiGEN, Pramac and Powerlink, covering prime and standby duty in single or three phase. Every set we sell goes through the same pre-delivery process as our hire fleet - fuelled, oiled, run and load-tested before it leaves the workshop, so what arrives on site is a machine we've already proven works, not a box.
All four branches - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth - hold stock, run in-house servicing, and carry genuine parts for everything we sell.
Sizing an industrial generator
Get this wrong and it's expensive in both directions. Undersize it and you're nuisance-tripping on motor start, every time a compressor, pump or air conditioner kicks in. Oversize it and you're wet stacking - running a diesel engine at light load for extended periods glazes the cylinder bores and fouls the exhaust, and it will cost you an engine rebuild.
Prime or standby?
Standby sets only run during a mains outage, sized for occasional, short-duration load. Prime sets are built to run as the primary power source for extended periods - a site with no mains connection at all, or one running off-grid by design.
Single phase or three phase?
Most industrial and commercial sites run three phase. Single phase suits smaller loads - offices, small workshops, some retail fitouts. Not sure? Send us your switchboard details and we'll confirm.
Send us your load list and duty type and we'll size it properly, accounting for motor starting loads that a simple wattage total usually misses. Or use the Power Calculator for a starting figure before you call.
Delivered proven, not delivered boxed
Most industrial generator suppliers deliver the unit and leave the rest to you. We don't. Every set we sell is fuelled, oiled, run under load and tested in our own workshop before it goes anywhere - the same PDI process we run on our hire fleet, because a generator that's never been started before it reaches a hospital, a data centre or a shutdown with a fixed window isn't proven, it's a gamble.
If you want it connected as well as delivered, our licensed electricians can commission the set on site - the switchboard connection, the load test, the handover - so the first time it runs under real load isn't the first time anyone's watched it do it.
That's backed by servicing and genuine parts at all four branches, from technicians who work on the same equipment we sell. If something needs attention six months or six years from now, you're calling the people who built it, not a call centre reading from a script.
Powering Australia's toughest jobs since 1949
Macfarlane has supplied and serviced industrial power for hospitals, airports, film sets, and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel - over 77 years in the same trade, 100% Australian owned, with four branches now covering Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
When the job is a hospital, a data centre, or a shutdown with a fixed window, the generator itself is rarely the hard part. Getting it sized right, proven before it arrives, and backed by someone who'll answer the phone if it needs attention, that's what 77 years in this trade actually buys you.

How to find what power generator you need
The Macfarlane Generators Power Calculator helps you estimate the generator size required for your application by calculating power demand, motor starting loads, and electrical conversions such as kVA, kW, amps, and horsepower. Designed for homeowners, tradies, and industrial operators, it provides practical tools and power consumption guides to help you select the right generator with confidence. Whether you're planning backup power, construction site equipment, or large-scale operations, the calculator simplifies generator sizing and power planning.
