Standby / Back-UpPower Solutions

Xtreme Power Solutions provides dependable standby and back-up power through short- and long-term generator rentals, alongside new generator sales. Based in Varkfontein, Benoni, the company supports industrial and commercial operations with medium and large-capacity diesel generators and can assist with transport and installation arrangements countrywide. With many years of experience in importing engines, alternators and parts, as well as manufacturing and selling custom-built generators, they focus on reliable power that minimises downtime during loadshedding and power failures.

The hire fleet ranges from 100 to 1000 kVA and is suited to mines, factories, shopping centres, schools, agricultural sites and construction sites, as well as a wide variety of other industrial or commercial applications. Generators can be deployed for standby or back-up power during loadshedding, for planned maintenance or shutdowns, as a primary supply where no Eskom connection is available, or as a temporary solution while a newly purchased unit is on order. Flexible rental periods and competitive rates are core to the service.

Rental packages are designed to be practical and comprehensive. All hired generators are supplied with an Auto Transfer Switch as standard, enabling smooth changeover when grid power drops. A remote monitoring system allows technicians to address shutdown alarms and breakdowns remotely, supporting uptime and faster response. Units are delivered with a full tank of fuel, feature sound-attenuated enclosures to reduce noise, and are supplied as stationary sets rather than trailer-mounted to help minimise theft-related downtime. Speedy delivery, technical support and service accompany every hire, and for rentals of three months or longer in standby applications, maintenance and services are included.

Technical support extends from initial needs assessment through to ongoing operation. The team offers assistance with installation arrangements and logistics across South Africa, helping ensure that the equipment is properly sited and integrated. Remote monitoring adds an additional layer of oversight so issues can often be diagnosed and resolved without delay, which is especially important for critical sites and time-sensitive operations. Should power requirements change over time, a rental unit can be exchanged for a larger model to match increased demand.

For those seeking to purchase, Xtreme Power Solutions manufactures generators in-house, with experienced technicians overseeing stringent quality control from start to finish. This manufacturing capability supports both standard and custom-built solutions, and the team advises on the correct generator specification for each application. The company’s background in sourcing and integrating quality engines, alternators and parts underpins a product range focused on durability and consistent performance.

There are clear operational and financial advantages to renting in many scenarios. Rental eliminates upfront capital outlay and the associated impact on cash flow, while reducing financial risk related to breakdowns and repairs on the generator. Rental costs are tax deductible, and equipment can be supplied on short notice. By contrast, purchasing a new unit can involve iting several weeks or even months, making hire an effective bridge for urgent requirements or interim cover during planned upgrades.

Across sectors such as manufacturing, retail, education, agriculture and construction, Xtreme Power Solutions helps maintain continuity during loadshedding, unplanned outages and scheduled maintenance. Its combination of robust diesel generators, trained technicians and proactive remote monitoring is geared to reduce interruptions and keep essential operations running.

Whether the need is a temporary standby set for a maintenance window, a longer-term rental to navigate ongoing loadshedding, or a new, custom-built generator for permanent installation, Xtreme Power Solutions offers a scalable approach backed by technical expertise and nationwide support.

Xtreme Power Solutions specializes in short- and long-term rentals of generators, providing reliable back-up power solutions for various industries. With years of experience in manufacturing and selling custom-built generators, they ensure minimal downtime during power failures.
