What are the advantages and disadvantages of mobile trailer-mounted diesel generators?

July 29, 2022
One of the biggest advantages of diesel engine sets is fuel efficiency. Generators that use diesel fuel consume less fuel than those that use gasoline or natural gas. Some diesel generators consume only half of their fuel load when operating at the same capacity as other generator types. This is what makes diesel generators ideal for providing uninterrupted power. As a result, they can be relied upon to provide continuous power to businesses, construction sites, hospitals, schools, stations, high-rise buildings, and other locations.
 
Secondly, mobile trailer diesel generators are more robust than their counterparts. It can run for a total of 2,000-3,000+ hours before you have to seriously consider major maintenance work. You can easily see the ruggedness of diesel engines simply by looking at other equipment that runs on diesel. For example, heavy vehicles last longer than smaller vehicles used for transportation because they use diesel engines.
 
Regular maintenance is not a problem. This is because there are no spark plugs to maintain. You just need to remember to change the oil regularly and clean your equipment as often as the product manual tells you to.
 
Diesel generators are perfect for working in remote areas, construction sites and other places. Diesel generators are many times more reliable in harsh environments than gasoline or natural gas generators. This makes diesel generators perfect for off-site construction work and outdoor activities.
 
With mobile trailer diesel generators, your fuel source will be virtually trouble-free. Diesel fuel is available in large quantities almost anywhere. As long as there is a gas station nearby, you are sure to find some supply of diesel fuel.
 
Diesel fuel can be used safely in most situations. It is more flammable than other fuel sources. Diesel generators also do not have spark plugs, which further reduces the likelihood of an unusual fire. Your property and generator set are instantly protected.
 
On the other hand, diesel generators have several disadvantages, and here are some of the negatives to consider.
 
Compared to other generator types, mobile trailer diesel generators can be a bit expensive. You may initially have to spend a lot of money to get a generator, but with its convenience and power supply performance, and due to the need to run power generation continuously for a long time, a mobile trailer diesel generator may end up saving you more money.
 
Older, cheaper diesel generators can produce a fair amount of noise. This can be a big disadvantage if you live near a densely populated community, so choose a brand new diesel generator set whenever you can
