A guaranteed power supply is critical for most farm- ers where livestock are totally dependent on machinery to deliver vital heating, ventilation and feeding systems, not to mention chilling equipment in milk parlours and cold stores Prime power is also often need- ed for applications such as corn drying and vegetable grading equipment at harvest time. Director Richard Ogden says “It is fundamentally important that farm businesses have back a up generator installed as a Contin- gency plan. If not they potentially risk losing valuable Livestock and revenue as a consequence of mains power tripping out, which could be catastrophic.” Yorkshire Generators services include hire and sales of diesel and PTO generating equipment, along with full servicing, mainte- nance and emergency call out. They also supply control equip- ment that automatically turns generators on when needed and switches them off when the mains power has been resumed. Richard Ogden says “It’s all a matter of surveying and under- standing each individual appli- cation before quantifying the right amount of power needed for the job. Every job is different and therefore the specification is tailored to suit each custom- er’s individual requirements. In fact, in many sectors insurance underwriters stipulate that standby generators are in place as a pre-requisite of obtaining indemnity cover. Such instances of power failure are increasing as our weather patterns become even more unpredictable at a time when the demand for power continues to increase”. For farms that are off grid and properties in exposed rural locations, the use of prime power generators mean it is possible to have a constant electricity supply without going to the significant expense of having mains electricity installed. Yorkshire Generators always have an extensive range of new and used generators to choose from at their Wath depot. Please contact our office on Tel 01845 527486 for your without obligation quotation.
