A-Plant has recently ordered of 320 x diesel generators from SDMO for its nationwide hire requirements
This substantial £3.3m order comprises 10 different model types and is the largest order placed by A-Plant with SDMO to date and also includes product ranges from 10kVA up to 300kVA capacity!
The order is the first time that A-Plant has gone ahead and purchased the larger generating sets that are above 60kVA, SDMO are delighted with the deal. SDMO’s have included the brand new Diesel 10000 E Silence generator range in the order. Its a compact 10kVA generator on wheels which makes maneuverability easier.
A-Plant is the first hire company in UK to acquire the new Diesel 10000 E into its fleet. They took delivery of the first ever models to be produced at SDMO’s factory in Brest, France. These state of the art generators are powered by a Kohler air-cooled industrial engine. The Diesel 10000 E has a substantial soundproofing enclosure installed.
The acoustic levels produced are 81dB(A) at one metre and 69dB(A) at seven metres which is incredible. The generator casing is fully bunded which ensures if any fuel or oil spills inside they are retained within the canopy enclosure.
