Use them for site offices, workshops, accommodation, pumps, lighting and the rest of the essential kit. They are built for harsh conditions and heavy workloads, from a portable unit for a smaller task through to a larger mining generator that has to sit there day and night. If the job is general site power and not a mine spec unit, see diesel generators.
What to Look for in Generators for Mining
Power that matches the load, and the hours
Add up what has to run, then allow for pumps and plant that kick on start-up. A mining generator is chosen for how long it will hold that load, not for the biggest number on the sticker. Check the rating for continuous work before you compare prices.
Built for the site, not a clean shed
Dust, heat and a long day are the job. Look for a unit specified for mine sites and heavy duty, and for how you start it. Electric start is the usual pick when the machine will be fired often. Confirm mine spec on the product page if that is a requirement of the site.
Portable, or sized for the camp
A smaller mining generator is for a task you can move. A larger one is for offices, accommodation and the gear that cannot stop. Match the frame and the output to where it will actually sit, and to how you will get it there.
Mining Generators by the Job
Exploration and a smaller task
A portable mining generator covers lighting, a pump or a small workshop while the job is still mobile. Do not buy the camp-sized machine if the work is a short exploration task.
Site offices, workshops and accommodation
This is continuous power. Size it to what stays on overnight, not to a single tool. A generator for mining in this role has to be boringly reliable.
Pumps, lighting and essential plant
Match the outlets and the phase to what you are plugging in. Single phase covers a lot of site kit. Three-phase plant needs a three-phase unit. Check the product page, or tell us the motor.
