Hire a Diesel Generator in Clacton

Clacton-on-Sea attracts large numbers of visitors during the summer months and hosts some of the region’s best-attended outdoor events, including the Clacton Airshow, one of the UK’s largest free airshows. Events of this scale require substantial temporary power infrastructure – from stage power and public address systems through to catering, lighting, and welfare facilities.

Midas provides diesel generator hire in Clacton with a particular focus on events and temporary public spaces, where reliability, quiet operation, and fast response to power issues are non-negotiable.

For events in the Clacton area, our hybrid battery and diesel generator packages deliver significant advantages: lower noise output for public events in residential or coastal settings, reduced fuel consumption, and lower emissions.

We carry tower lighting units to complement generator hire, and our team can assist with a full BS7909 temporary electrical design for events that require a formally documented power distribution plan. Generator hire is available from 13kVA to 650kVA, and our own delivery fleet operates 24/7 across Essex and Suffolk.

Midas serves events companies, local authorities, construction contractors, and businesses requiring standby power across Clacton and the Tendring district. Our Woodbridge base puts us around 40 minutes from Clacton.

HAE SafeHire is accredited and certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.

Our hire fleet runs from 13kVA to 650kVA, covering everything from small events and site power through to large-scale industrial and agricultural applications. All machines are sourced from JCB, Himoinsa and Pramac, serviced in-house at our Suffolk workshop, and fitted with remote monitoring as standard.

Hire is available on a daily, weekly or long-term contract basis. Every hire begins with a free load assessment, we size the machine correctly for your application and your cable run, not just the nearest round number.

Midas is an authorised dealer for JCB and Himoinsa, two manufacturers whose products we use and maintain in our own fleet. We sell standby, prime and bespoke generator sets for permanent and long-term installations, from single-phase farm backups to three-phase industrial standby systems.

Every sale includes delivery, installation, commissioning and the option of an ongoing Midas service contract. If you are weighing up buying versus hiring, we are happy to talk through the options honestly. We do both, so there is no pressure either way.

Battery energy storage units, when paired with a diesel generator, reduce fuel consumption, reduce running noise, and lower the carbon footprint of your temporary power installation. Midas stocks hybrid battery units from JCB, Power Saving Solutions and Pramac, covering a range of output sizes and operating profiles.

Hybrid power works particularly well for events with noise restrictions, urban construction sites, agricultural applications with intermittent loads, and film and TV productions. Combined diesel and battery hire packages are available as a single agreement.

Stage V is the current emission standard for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) under UK and EU regulations. For government contracts, construction in Clean Air Zones, and procurement that specifies NRMM compliance, a Stage V certified generator is required. Midas stocks Stage V machines from 13kVA to 150kVA.

Stage V generators use diesel particulate filter technology and, above 56kW, AdBlue injection to meet emission limits. If you are not sure whether Stage V applies to your project, ask us; we will give you a straight answer and will not push you towards a more expensive machine if it is not necessary.
