Serviced & maintained in house by our team of experts
Midas offer a comprehensive and modern fleet of diesel generators for hire, including Stage 5, expanding year on year as our customer demand grows. All generators are serviced and maintained to an extremely high standard in our new purpose built workshop facility in Suffolk – we recognise and embrace the importance of reliability and durability that our customers demand and constantly strive to satisfy their varied demands.
With 50hz and 60hz options, our generators are fitted with "Deep Sea Electronics" control panels, specifically designed to facilitate synchronisation between generators as well as load-sharing ability if required. By synchronising multiple generators, we can supply a multi-megawatt power solution on a temporary or long-term basis.
We operate our own delivery fleet, 24/7, nationwide and deliver our diesel generators by articulated trucks and/or HIAB cranes; we can also deliver generator units mounted on fast tow trailers, via 4×4 trucks – these are extremely useful and cost effective for film shoots, product launches and public shows where lead time or accessibility is an issue.
The Midas team is very highly trained in how to commission, maintain, install and manage diesel generators. Combined with our large generator fleet and head-office facilities, we are very well positioned to offer you a tailored power generation solution, designed to meet your specific requirements, within agreed timescales and budget.
