Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
6KVA Generator — reliable site power when you need it
Our 6KVA Generator is a hard‑working, portable power unit ideal for powering drills, saws, lighting towers and site cabins where mains power isn’t available. It delivers a steady, single‑phase 230V supply and is ready for immediate hire from the Breckland depot in Attleborough.
What this machine is for
This generator is aimed at tradespeople, groundworkers and self‑builders who need dependable site power for short‑term projects, evening lighting or remote works. It’s perfect for:
- Running hand and small power tools (breakers, grinders, petrol mixers)
- Temporary lighting for evening or early morning shifts
- Powering site cabins, pumps or heaters when mains is absent
Key specs & features
- Continuous output: 6kVA (approx. 6,000W) — steady single‑phase 230V supply
- Portable design with lifting points for safe loading
- Mains‑compatible sockets for simple plug‑in use
- Low‑noise chassis and fuel‑efficient engine for longer run times
- Ready for immediate hire from Attleborough, with delivery within 20 miles and free collection available
Why hire this generator rather than buy
For most trades the occasional need for site power makes hiring the sensible option. Hiring removes the cost and hassle of purchase, storage, servicing and depreciation. If you only need power for a weekend, a week or a short project, hiring a 6KVA Generator gives you a reliable unit without long‑term commitment. Breckland Plant Hire also offers delivery, collection and support — ideal if your job moves about the county.
Operator notes & safety
- Always operate on level ground and keep the unit clear of combustible materials.
- Use only in well‑ventilated areas — exhaust gases are hazardous in enclosed spaces.
- Wear suitable PPE: hearing protection, gloves and eye protection when connecting tools.
- Do not overload the generator — check the combined wattage of tools before use.
- Refuel only with the engine off and cool. Store fuel safely and away from ignition sources.
- Report any faults immediately to Breckland Plant Hire; we provide operator advice and support when you hire our kit.
If you need a different power size or additional site equipment, we can pair this unit with other kit — search our site for matching solutions or book the 6KVA Generator now for same‑day collection or delivery.
