What are the pros and cons of mobile trailer diesel generators?

If you are considering purchasing a mobile trailer diesel generator, the first thing to consider is whether you need a trailer-mounted diesel generator set. Diesel generators can meet your electricity needs, but it's essential to choose the right mobile trailer diesel generator based on your specific usage environment. Below, Kaichen Power introduces some advantages and disadvantages of mobile trailer diesel generators.

One of the advantages of diesel generator sets is their fuel efficiency. Diesel-powered generators consume less fuel compared to gasoline or natural gas generators. Some diesel generators use only half the fuel load when operating at the same capacity as other generator types. This makes diesel generators ideal for providing uninterrupted power supply. As a result, they can be relied upon to deliver consistent power for businesses, construction sites, hospitals, schools, stations, high-rise buildings, and other locations.

Features of Mobile Trailer Diesel Generator Sets:  

1. Designed specifically for frequent mobility or on-site power supply needs.  

2. The housing can be made of high-quality galvanized steel or steel plates, offering features such as corrosion resistance and excellent sealing.  

3. Four-sided doors and windows are equipped with automatic hydraulic supports for easy opening.  

4. The chassis wheels can be designed as two-wheel, four-wheel, or six-wheel configurations based on customer requirements.  

5. Braking systems, including manual, automatic, and hydraulic options, are designed for reliable and stable braking performance.  

Note: This series of mobile trailers can be customized as silent-type mobile trailers based on customer needs.  

Mobile trailer diesel generators are more robust compared to similar products. They can operate for over 2,000–3,000 hours before requiring major maintenance. The durability of diesel engines is evident when looking at other diesel-powered equipment. For example, heavy-duty vehicles have longer lifespans than smaller transport vehicles because they use diesel engines.  

Routine maintenance is not a significant issue, as there are no spark plugs to maintain. You only need to remember to change the oil regularly and clean the equipment as recommended in the product manual.  

Diesel generators are well-suited for remote areas, construction sites, and similar locations. Their reliability in harsh environments is many times higher than that of gasoline or natural gas generators. This makes diesel generators ideal for off-site construction work and outdoor events.  

With a mobile trailer diesel generator, fuel availability is rarely a problem. Diesel is widely available in large quantities almost everywhere. As long as there is a nearby gas station, you will always find a supply of diesel.  

Diesel is generally safe to use and is less flammable than other fuel sources. Diesel generators also lack spark plugs, further reducing the risk of accidental fires. This ensures immediate protection for both your property and the generator set.  

Mobile trailer diesel generators may be somewhat more expensive compared to other generator types. While the initial investment might be higher, their convenience, reliable power supply performance, and ability to operate continuously for extended periods can save you more money in the long run.
