Generators for Mining & Resources

A mine site doesn't get a grace period when the power drops. Production stops, safety systems rely on the backup working, and being hours from the nearest supplier stops being a hypothetical fast. Macfarlane Generators has supplied mining generators up to 1MW for resources operations across Australia, working alongside site teams from specification through to commissioning.

Capacity built for continuous, remote operation

We've supplied mining generators up to 1MW, with a general supply capacity of up to 2,500kVA. A single unit for a remote site in WA or QLD and a larger multi-unit installation get specified the same careful way, around the site's actual load, with dust, heat and remote access all factored in.

Prime power or standby generator, know which one you need

Prime power runs continuously as the site's main source. Standby power sits ready to take over the moment the main supply fails. They're specified differently, so it's worth settling which one your site needs before equipment is ordered rather than partway through.

How far our support actually goes

Our role covers supply, technical guidance, installation support and commissioning, working directly with your site's own installation team. We'll tell you plainly where that support starts and stops, rather than let you assume we're running the whole project when we're not.

Working within your site's requirements

Every site runs its own SWMS, safety and access requirements, and they rarely match from one operator to the next. Our people carry the electrical and mechanical certifications, licences and generator-specific training to work inside them. Tell us what your site needs and we'll confirm the fit.

Over 77 years in the industry

That's long enough to have seen most of what a remote site can throw at a generator. Parts and service sit in-house, so when something needs attention, the person on the phone already understands the equipment.

The generator brands we put on mine sites

For heavy-duty prime and standby power in demanding environments, we lean on Cummins for premium industrial reliability and Pramac for portable and mobile units that hold up moving between sites. Tell us your site's duty cycle and conditions and we'll match the brand to it.
