There is no maximum time that you can rent our generators for. Payment arrangements for longer-term rentals will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Up to 60kVA, the generators have plugs and sockets. The larger generators have different configurations and connection points. If you have a specific connection requirement, please inquire with us to ensure that the generator you want to hire is configured correctly.
From 20kVA to 150kVA the generators are on trailers. The larger generators need to be transported with a crane truck. All trailer-mounted generators are maintained to a high standard and are fully licensed.
DEPOSITS ARE REFUNDABLE IF THE GENERATOR IS RETURNED IN THE SAME CONDITION. You are required to pay a deposit on every generator hired as security. This deposit is to cover the generator for any damage caused whilst in your possession. If the deposit does not cover the damage, you will be liable for any additional payment.
All generators are insured by Bundu Power® Rental. Should the generator be lost / stolen / damaged when in the client's possession, it will be for the client's account to have the generator restored to its original condition. Loss of a generator due to negligence will result in the renter being fully liable for the replacement of the generator.
