What size generators do you hire and sell?

We match generators to each project's load, run time and site requirements for both hire and sales. Contact us with your needs and we'll recommend the right fit for your Melbourne or Victorian site.

Do you deliver diesel?

Yes. We deliver final-filtered diesel directly to onsite generators or fuel cells, with deliveries over 1,000 litres available.

Can I buy a generator instead of hiring?

Yes. We sell new, refurbished and custom-built generators across Melbourne and Victoria, fully workshop-tested, warranted and delivered ready to run.

How often should generators be serviced?

Intervals depend on the manufacturer, operating hours and conditions. We provide minor and major servicing to manufacturer specifications.

What areas do you service?

We support generator hire and sales across Melbourne and wider Victoria, with Australia-wide project support available on request.

Can you transport our existing generator?

Yes. Our crane and tilt-slide trucks can collect, transport and precisely position customer-owned generators.

Are Hyundai generators good quality?

Yes. Hyundai generators use proven diesel and petrol engines with copper-wound alternators and are backed by warranty. The DHY diesel series is widely used in Australian trade and standby applications.

What size Hyundai generator do I need for home backup?

For essential circuits (fridge, lights, TV, some power points), a 6-8kVA unit like the DHY6000SE or HY6000i is typical. For whole-home automatic standby, an 11kVA DHY9KSEM with ATS.

Are Hyundai diesel generators better than petrol?

Diesel generators last longer, use less fuel per hour, and diesel stores more safely than petrol. Petrol inverters are quieter and lighter for portable use. Choose diesel for regular or standby duty, petrol for occasional portable use.

Do Hyundai generators come with warranty?

Yes, all new Hyundai generators sold by Hanson Hire include the manufacturer warranty. Contact us for warranty terms on a specific model.

Hyundai Generators Australia: A Buyer's Guide to the Full Range

Quick Answer

Hyundai generators range from 2kVA portable petrol inverters to 1000kVA heavy industrial diesel units. For Australian buyers, the DHY series diesel standby generators (6.5-125kVA) suit home and business backup, while HY series petrol inverters (2-10kVA) suit portable and recreational use. Hanson Hire stocks the full Hyundai range for sale with delivery across Victoria.

Why Choose a Hyundai Generator?

Hyundai is one of the most recognised generator brands in Australia, and for good reason. The range spans everything from a 2kVA portable petrol inverter for camping right through to 1000kVA silenced industrial diesel units for large facilities. That breadth means there is a Hyundai generator for almost every power need - you just need to pick the right series.

The Hyundai Generator Lineup

Portable Petrol Inverters (HY Series)

The HY inverter series produces clean, stable power safe for sensitive electronics like laptops, phones and TVs. These are the generators you take camping, caravanning, or use for light trade and home backup.

Hyundai HY2000Si 2kVA Inverter - ultra-quiet, lightweight, ideal for caravans and small appliances
Hyundai HY3500i 4.3kVA Inverter - more headroom for a fridge, lights and tools
Hyundai HY6000i 7.5kVA Inverter - enough to back up essential home circuits

Portable Diesel Generators (DHY Series)

Diesel generators last longer, sip less fuel, and are safer to store fuel for. The DHY portable diesel range is built for trade, construction and serious home backup.

Hyundai DHY6000SE 6.5kVA Diesel - the most popular portable diesel in the range, with electric start
Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS 8kVA - long-run tank for all-day site work

Standby Diesel Generators (DHY KSE Series)

These are stationary, auto-start units wired into your switchboard with an ATS (auto transfer switch). When mains power drops, they start automatically. Ideal for homes, farms and businesses that cannot afford downtime.

Hyundai DHY9KSEM 11kVA Standby - single-phase home and small business standby
Hyundai DHY11KSEM 14kVA Three-Phase - three-phase for workshops and farms
Hyundai DHY65KSE-3 65kVA - commercial standby

Heavy Industrial (BALANTY Series)

For data centres, mines, hospitals and large industrial sites, the BALANTY silenced diesel range starts at 165kVA and scales to 1000kVA. These are built for continuous prime or standby duty.

Hyundai-BALANTY HBD220S 220kVA - silenced industrial unit
Hyundai-BALANTY HBD550S 550kVA - heavy prime power
