Diesel Generator Hire for Mining & Quarrying
Midas supplies quarries and mines across the UK with primary, emergency and backup power solutions.
A reliable, efficient diesel-powered generator is considered essential equipment at all remote quarrying sites.
Where difficult terrain and poor light are regular concerns, as well as often being off the national power grid, having a consistent power supply to ensure continued operations is vital for all quarrying operators.
Especially suited to harsh environments
Midas has years of experience in specifying and supplying diesel power to the quarrying & mining sector.
We understand that reliability is key, particularly as quarry sites are often remote and unyielding locations to work in. Our generators are especially suited to harsh environments and will not let you down!
Diesel generators are often used as the primary power sources for crushing or conveyor systems, bringing extracted materials from the excavation site to transport trucks.
They are also consistently used in quarries, gravel pits or large surface mines as back-up power, particularly if weather conditions or unstable connections can be an issue at remote locations where regular outages are experienced.
To guarantee you have the most suitable generator for your project, take advantage of our free site visits which ensure the most appropriate equipment is specified from our extensive range.
We will also manage on-site fuel storage, via our range of purpose built fuel storage units.

Tailored Power Solutions for Mining and Quarrying Operations
Powering mining and quarrying sites requires a reliable, adaptable approach that takes into account the scale, environment, and specific demands of each operation. With no two sites being the same, a tailored solution is essential to ensure efficiency, safety, and uninterrupted performance.
A key part of delivering the right solution is understanding the site in detail. That’s why site visits are strongly recommended, allowing for a thorough assessment of the operation and its requirements. By evaluating factors such as layout, power demands, and environmental conditions, a bespoke power setup can be designed to maximise performance and minimise potential issues.
Support is available around the clock, reflecting the non-stop nature of many mining and quarrying operations. With a 24/7 service in place, assistance is always accessible via landline, ensuring calls are answered promptly and, where necessary, escalated to on-call engineers. This level of responsiveness helps reduce downtime and keeps operations running smoothly, even outside standard working hours.
Logistics are also handled with flexibility in mind. Timed delivery slots can be arranged to suit the needs of your site, ensuring equipment arrives when it’s needed most. As with all deliveries, it’s important to ensure there is firm, stable ground available for Hiab trucks to operate safely, this is discussed during the booking process to guarantee a smooth and efficient setup.
By combining site-specific planning, 24/7 support, and flexible delivery options, power solutions for mining and quarrying environments are designed to meet the demands of even the most challenging operations.
