When the mains goes down, you need safe, stable temporary power – fast. We supply generators, distribution and experienced crew to keep sites, businesses and critical operations running.
Storm damage, infrastructure faults, and unexpected power cuts can stop operations instantly. South Coast Hire Group provides emergency generator hire and temporary power distribution built around speed, safety, and system stability.
We don’t just drop off a generator. We assess what needs to stay live, size the system with sensible headroom, install distribution and cabling properly, then commission and support the setup while you’re running on temporary power.
From welfare and comms through to refrigeration, pumps, lighting and essential building loads, we build practical solutions that work in real conditions – including poor weather and difficult access.
Fast response with clear triage questions that speed up dispatch, loading, and setup on site.
We consider surge loads, starting currents and practical headroom to keep power stable and reliable.
Temporary boards, cabling and labelled circuits installed cleanly with proper testing and commissioning.
We supply complete temporary power packages for outages – generator, distribution, cabling, and support. Installed by experienced crew who understand safe working, load management, and real-world site conditions.
Emergency power is only useful if it’s installed correctly and remains stable under real load. Our process is designed to reduce risk, protect equipment, and keep essential services running.
We confirm your location, access, what has failed, what must stay live, and any special loads (motors, pumps, refrigeration, comms, heaters). We size a generator with sensible headroom and confirm distribution requirements.
We mobilise the generator, distribution and cabling needed for your scenario. Towable or skid-mounted sets are selected based on access, placement, and site conditions.
We position the generator, install distribution, run and protect cabling, label circuits, then test before energising. Critical and non-critical loads are separated where practical.
We provide support while you’re on temporary power. When mains supply returns, we manage a controlled shutdown and clear site safely and efficiently.
Temporary power can reduce downtime, protect stock, and keep operations safe. Typical emergency deployments include:
Offices, retail, warehouses, refrigeration, essential lighting and business continuity power.
Welfare units, pumps, temporary lighting, dewatering, and site distribution during outages.
Temporary power for venues, halls, comms, support areas and essential operations.
Send your location, what needs powering, and any access notes – we’ll respond with a clear plan and mobilisation options.
