Generators for Manufacturing & Industrial Standby

Every minute a production line sits idle costs more than the minute before it, in wasted materials, idle wages and a schedule that keeps slipping. Macfarlane Generators supplies and installs standby power for manufacturing and industrial sites, generator, automatic transfer switch and load bank, commissioned and tested before we hand it over.

Turnkey supply and installation

We provide full turnkey installation, including the supply and installation of automatic transfer switches (ATS), generators and load banks for factories and industrial plants. Our team coordinates installation, commissioning and testing as one job, so you're dealing with one supplier instead of three.

Why the transfer switch matters as much as the generator

A perfectly sized generator is no help if switching over to it depends on someone noticing the outage and flicking a switch manually. An automatic transfer switch detects the outage and starts the changeover itself. A line running on one barely notices a blip; a line without one sits down until someone reaches the switchboard.

The generator brands behind our standby installs

For industrial standby and prime power, Cummins, Pramac and Powerlink cover most of what we install, chosen for how they hold up under real production loads rather than a spec sheet number. Talk to us about your plant and we'll confirm the right fit.

Standby purchase or shutdown hire?

Permanent standby power suits an ongoing risk to your production line. Generator hire suits a scheduled maintenance shutdown that needs temporary cover. We supply generators up to 2,500kVA and hire up to 1,250kVA. Talk to us about which fits your situation.

Sized and specified properly

Motor starting loads, existing electrical integration, and how your manufacturing plant actually runs all affect sizing. Use our Power Calculator for a starting point, or call us before you commit to a number.

Ongoing maintenance keeps it ready

A standby system is only useful if it works the one time it's actually needed. Our service and maintenance program keeps it that way well past handover, not just on the day it's installed.
