Crew connecting event power from a generator in New Zealand

New Zealand Generator Hire From Yard Test to Site.

Return time matters

The hire ends after the hand-back

The selected generator remains occupied until the fuel and condition check, even when handover happens earlier.

They do not know what kVA they need.

They know there is a wedding in a field, or a site with three-phase welding gear. The rating is a calculation at your end, and both ways of getting it wrong are yours to own.

  • Specified, then booked

    The set is chosen by what it actually has to run, so nobody arrives at a field with a machine that trips out during the speeches.

  • A long hire needs visits

    A set on site for a fortnight has to be refuelled, and those are jobs in your week rather than a single line that ends at collection.

  • Out is out

    A hired set leaves the page from delivery to collection, so a machine sitting in a compound is never promised to a second job.

Built for your yard

Built for every kind of power hire

A rural marquee generator

Reserve the selected unit through yard test, delivery, event hours and collection.

The building-site power unit

Keep the larger generator unavailable across every site day and its return inspection.

A farm outage call

Record the first street address, chosen generator and staff power notes together on the booking.

Inspection before the next hirer

The building-site power unit: hold the generator after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first street address

A rural marquee generator: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A farm outage call: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Portable generator or larger site generator

The building-site power unit: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A rural marquee generator: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A farm outage call: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one generator

The building-site power unit: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

Booked with the spec on it.

Rating, fuel type and the dates in one go, so what arrives on site is the machine that was actually agreed.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A rural marquee generator: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A rural marquee generator: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The building-site power unit: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A farm outage call: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your generator hire business.

Online booking

Put portable generator or larger site generator on the public page with genuine availability; each hirer starts the request from one street address.

Scheduling

Hold the selected generator from yard test and loading until the fuel and condition check; the live diary withholds every conflicting request inside that span.

Standing bookings

Set regular generator hire on its single weekday, choose weekly or fortnightly, and end the series when the regular arrangement finishes.

One set, one site

A hired set leaves the page from delivery to collection, so the machine sitting in a field on the Saturday is not also promised elsewhere.

Rating is part of the booking

The set is chosen by what it actually has to run, so nobody is sent a machine that trips out under load or one three times bigger than needed.

Email reminders

The operator can enable an email before the portable generator booking, carrying the booked time and selected item; reminders do not begin by default.

Customers

The customer record joins hirers, venues and local organisations to earlier bookings, internal notes and manually recorded payments.

Team

Match a late generator return to a staff member whose hours cover preparation, handover and the expected return. The booking remains clear.

Payments

Post bank transfer manually against the correct hire, keeping the remainder clear for staff without presenting an online card payment.
