Speedy, providers of equipment rental and support services, has invested £3.6 million in a fleet of generators from SDMO Energy.

More than 200 power generation products have been purchased and will be distributed across Speedy's depot network. The investment gives Speedy the largest fleet of generators that comply with EU stage 3A omissions in the UK.

Speedy's power generation experts visited the SDMO manufacturing factory and worked closely with the production team to ensure the equipment met customer requirements.


The new generators – which range in size from 80-500kVA – are more fuel efficient and cost effective for users and each features an external control panel to improve safety and accuracy.

The fuel tanks are fully bunded with leakage detection and all sizes are easy to manoeuvre as they have been fitted with fork lift pockets and crane lifting pegs.

Andy Connor, Supply Chain Director at Speedy, said: "Generators are essential in construction projects but with rising fuel costs and increasing environmental concerns they can be expensive to operate.

"Our customers need more fuel efficient units so we teamed up with SDMO to develop these state-of-the-art generators which are compliant with our sustainability strategy, One Plan.

"Through this action plan we are helping contractors reduce carbon emissions, increase efficiency and improve health safety by supplying them with new products, fuel management and sustainability consultancy."
