Europower has also expanded its rental range,
which isnowavailable from 10 to250kVAand inStage

thenon-EUmarket.
The company’s rental genset range includes 1500
rpmmodels from 14 to 250 kVA and a 3000rpm unit
of 10kVA.
Europower added that with 3000 rpm gensets,
customers are able bring into action smaller and
more compact, but nevertheless highly reliable
machines. The Kubota engine has a life span of at
least 7500hoursat 3000 rpm, of courseoncondition
that maintenance is carried out according the
planned intervals. For smaller applications, there

For the restof 2015andbeyond, suppliers
to the rental industry are expecting
further opportunities, Sergio
Salvador of Chicago Pneumatic, which aims to
expand the portfolio of its 60Hz portable
generators later in the year, is a case
inpoint.
Mr Salvador said: “We are
witnessing strong demand
from the rental sector, asmany
contractors are choosing the
rental option as a means to
cope with fluctuating demand
across construction markets.
We believe we will see this
trend continue throughout 2015,
mainly driven by Western Europe
andNorth America but also being
becomingmore prevalent inother
markets.
“We expect this will be a good year for the rental
market, and have already seen growing demand for
our new portable generators in South Africa, where
consistent electrical power supply can sometimes be
a problem, and theMiddle East, where there are lots
of short-term projects requiring the use of portable
generators.“
And with the recent Intermat exhibition in Paris
including the Polish company Fogo’s launch of its
first mobile generators for after concentrating on
permanent generators since its launch in 2002, the
Europeanmarketalso looksset toofferopportunities
of itsown.
The company’s is so called, incidentally, comes
from the words “focused on generators only”. The
namemay be unique, but the sentiment is becoming
increasingly common.
