Temporary Generator Rental for LA Construction Sites

When you need a generator instead of (or alongside) a temp pole

Not every jobsite is ready for a temporary power pole on day one. Maybe the utility transformer isn’t sized for your peak load. Maybe the meter spot is six weeks out. Maybe the project sits on a remote parcel where LADWP service won’t reach. Or maybe your tower crane and pumps draw more than the temp service will support during framing.

That’s where a generator comes in. We rent right-sized, code-compliant generators by the day, week, or month and pair them with the same dispatch, fuel-delivery, and monitoring service we provide for our temp power and internet customers.

Generator sizes available

25kW – 60kW

Compact, towable units for single-trailer setups, small remodels, or backup. Whisper-quiet sound-attenuated enclosures suitable for residential neighborhoods.

100kW – 200kW

The workhorse range for active construction sites. Powers tower lighting, multiple trailers, welders, compressors, and lifts simultaneously. CARB-certified Tier 4 Final.

300kW – 500kW

For ground-up projects with tower cranes, batch plants, or large MEP loads. Available paralleled in pairs for redundant 1MW+ capacity. We also stock natural-gas units for projects with extended runtimes.

What’s included with every rental

• Delivery and pickup across LA County
• Sound-attenuated enclosure (Tier 4 Final emissions)
• Sub-base fuel tank sized for 24+ hours of runtime
• Fuel delivery service — topped off on a schedule that matches your site load
• Distribution panel with breakers and twist-lock receptacles
• Remote telematics monitoring — we see fuel level, runtime, and faults in real time
• Preventive maintenance during the rental period
• Cable, cam-locks, and spider boxes as needed

Backup & standby applications

If your project relies on a temporary pole and a utility outage would idle the crew, we’ll spec a standby generator that auto-starts on loss of utility power. Common for tilt-up panel pours, concrete sequences, and crane operations where downtime is unacceptable.

Permits & compliance

We’ll handle the paperwork. Generators above the rule-203 threshold may need an SCAQMD permit; portable units typically fall under the registration program (PERP). We track CARB Tier 4 compliance, fuel records, and run-hour reports so your environmental file is clean.
