How Much Does Generator Rental Cost in the UAE?
Generator rental cost in the UAE depends mainly on capacity (kVA), rental duration and fuel arrangement. Smaller units (100–200 kVA) typically cost less per day than large project gensets (750–1000 kVA), and monthly terms carry a lower daily rate than short-term hire.

500 kVA Generator Fuel Consumption Guide
A 500 kVA generator typically consumes in the region of 80–100 litres of diesel per hour at full load, scaling down roughly proportionally at partial load. Actual consumption depends on the load factor, ambient conditions and engine efficiency.

Generator kVA vs kW: What's the Difference?
kVA (kilovolt-amperes) is the generator's apparent power rating; kW (kilowatts) is the real, usable power output. For most diesel generators at a 0.8 power factor, kW is roughly 80% of the kVA figure, so a 500 kVA generator delivers approximately 400 kW.

Prime Power vs Standby Power: Which Do You Need?
Prime power generators are rated for continuous, variable-load running with no fixed annual hour limit: the right choice when there is no utility connection. Standby power generators are rated for backup use only during a utility outage, typically limited to around 200–500 hours per year, and are sized with less thermal margin.
Mobile Cranes
How to Size a Mobile Crane for Your Lift
Crane sizing is not just about load weight: a crane's nominal capacity does not mean it can lift that load at every radius. You need the load weight, lift radius, lift height and site/ground conditions to select the right crane from the manufacturer's load chart.
