Reliable temporary power for demanding industrial applications
Whether you need temporary power for a planned shutdown, to maintain production, support a factory move or bridge a delay in your permanent power supply, you need a generator that’s suited to the load, operating conditions and length of hire.
Rehlko, formerly Kohler Energy, provides industrial generator hire for manufacturing, utilities and other demanding industrial environments, with generators and supporting equipment selected around your site and operational requirements.
Need temporary power for your site? Send us your load, hire dates and site postcode and our team will help you identify the right generator and provide a hire rate.
There’s no single generator size for a particular type of industrial application. Power requirements can vary significantly between sites and even between similar operations, so generator sizing needs to be based on the actual electrical demand rather than the type of business or equipment alone.
Our solutions team can assess what you need to power, including any additional demand when equipment starts, and recommend an appropriately sized generator for your application.
Our hire fleet includes generators across a wide range of power ratings. Explore the available hire categories below, or speak to our team if you’re unsure which size you need.

Using a generator outside the conditions associated with its rating can affect performance, reliability and equipment life. A generator intended for occasional standby use, for example, shouldn’t simply be treated as a regular source of power for an extended hire.
That’s why both generator size and power rating need to be considered when specifying temporary industrial power.
Our solutions team can assess the expected load and operating pattern to determine the appropriate generator for your application. Contact us for tailored advice.
Industrial sites can have specific emissions and noise requirements, particularly where generators will operate for extended periods or close to employees, neighbouring businesses or other occupied areas.
Rehlko offers a dedicated Stage V generator hire range for lower-emission temporary power, alongside silent generators designed with sound-absorbing technology to reduce operating noise.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is also stocked for use across the hire fleet, providing a lower-carbon alternative to conventional diesel.
Our solutions team can help you consider emissions, fuel and noise requirements alongside your load and operating needs when selecting the right generator for your site.
Rehlko works across manufacturing and utilities, providing generator hire to meet the operational demands of each environment.
Keep production and essential processes running during planned shutdowns, factory moves, phased fit-outs or interruptions to the mains supply. Temporary generator hire can also provide additional capacity while you wait for a new or upgraded grid connection.

Rehlko has supported Electricity North West with planned and reactive temporary power across its network, deploying generators ranging from 20kVA to 1.5MVA across more than 900 deployments during a 12-month period.
Read the case studyGenerator hire can be a practical choice when you need temporary power for a planned shutdown, factory move, short-to-medium-term increase in capacity or while waiting for a permanent power supply. It gives you access to the power you need without investing in equipment you may only require for a limited period.
If your power requirement is permanent or long term, purchasing an industrial generator may be more appropriate. Rehlko can help you assess your requirements and determine whether hiring or buying is the right option for your site.
