Generator Types: Open, Silent, Container and Trailer
The engine and the alternator decide what a set can do. The form around them decides where it can be installed, how loud it is, and what it costs. We build the same Yuchai set four ways - open skid, silent canopy, containerised and trailer-mounted - so the choice is yours rather than ours.
Each page below covers one form: the power band we quote in it, what the standard build includes, what it costs you in money, space or noise, and the catalogue models normally built that way. If your project sits between two forms, send the site conditions and we will tell you which one we would quote.
30 kW – 2200 kW · 27 models
Open skid
Open-frame diesel generator sets from 30 kW to 2200 kW: lowest cost per kW, easiest to service, for plant rooms, workshops and yards with space for the noise.

30 kW – 800 kW · 17 models
Silent canopy
Silent canopy diesel generators from 30 kW to 800 kW, typically 68-75 dB(A) at 7 m: weatherproof acoustic enclosure, lockable doors and a base fuel tank.

400 kW – 2200 kW · 17 models
Containerised
Containerised diesel generators from 400 kW to 2200 kW in ISO 20ft and 40ft shells: walk-in service access, tropical cooling, and shipping-standard handling.

50 kW – 300 kW · 9 models
Trailer-mounted
Mobile diesel generators from 50 kW to 300 kW on a road-tow trailer: canopy, road lights and brakes, ready to move between sites or hire out.
