24/7 breakdown response across Southern Africa
Service
AGP Generators hires diesel generator sets for short and long term rental across South Africa, from compact 20 kVA site units to multi-hundred kVA packages for shutdowns and events. Hire includes delivery and collection, fuel options, an operator where required, and a hire-to-buy path for projects that turn permanent. Rates follow kVA bands and rental term, so the cost matches the duty rather than a flat weekly figure.
Tell us the load, the site and how long you need the set. We confirm the kVA band and whether a silent or open frame package suits the location.
We quote a rate by kVA band and term, with delivery, collection, fuel and operator options itemised so nothing is hidden in a flat weekly number.
The set is delivered, positioned, cabled to your distribution board and started. Fuel is topped to the agreed level and the operator is briefed if requested.
During the hire the 24/7 line covers faults, refuelling scheduling and any upsize if the load grows. Remote monitoring is available on longer hires.
At hire end we collect the set, or convert the hire to a purchase under the hire-to-buy path if the project has become permanent.
Hire suits shutdowns, seasonal peaks, events and cover while an owned set is being repaired. It also suits projects where the permanent supply date keeps slipping, leaving a main contractor burning prelims on a connection that has not arrived.
For multi-year continuous duty, purchase or hire-to-buy usually wins on total cost. We model both so the decision is financial, not a guess.
You can supply your own diesel or have AGP deliver and top up on a schedule. For complex sites an operator can be supplied to manage starts, refuelling and load management, removing that burden from the main contractor.
Pricing for generator hire depends on the factors below. We quote in writing so the full cost is visible before any work starts.

From compact 20 kVA site units to multi-hundred kVA packages. We confirm the band from your load brief so the set is neither undersized nor an expensive oversize.

Contact the 24/7 hire line. We can upsize the set or add a second unit, and remote monitoring on longer hires flags a capacity issue before it becomes a trip.
