Generators for Mining & Resources
Mining sites need mine-spec portable diesel generators (6-8kVA) with RCD protection for regulated areas, and heavy industrial generators (165-1000kVA+) for continuous prime or standby power. Hanson Hire supplies Genelite mine-spec and heavy industrial units with bulk diesel delivery to remote sites.
Mining and resource sites need mine-spec generators with RCD protection and heavy industrial units for continuous duty. Hanson Hire supplies Genelite mine-spec and heavy industrial generators built for Australian mining conditions.
Generators for Mining & Resources
Mining and resource operations run in remote, harsh conditions where equipment failure means costly downtime. Mine-spec generators with RCD protection, heavy-duty frames and proven engines are essential for regulated sites.
What Mining Sites Need
- —Mine-spec portable diesel with RCD and earth leakage protection
- —Heavy industrial generators (165-1000kVA+) for continuous prime or standby duty
- —Long-run tanks and bulk fuel cells for remote operation
- —Silenced enclosures for noise-controlled areas
- —Rugged frames built for dust, heat and rough roads
Mine-Spec Requirements
Regulated mining sites require generators with earth leakage circuit breakers (RCD/RCDP), heavy-duty rollover frames, and compliance with site safety standards. Our Genelite mine-spec range is purpose-built for these conditions and widely used across Australian mine sites.
Heavy Industrial for Large Operations
For continuous prime power or large standby applications, heavy industrial diesel generators from 165kVA to 1000kVA+ provide reliable power for processing plants, camps and critical infrastructure. These units are built for continuous duty with silenced enclosures and bunded fuel tanks.
Fuel Logistics for Remote Sites
We deliver final-filtered bulk diesel to remote mining sites, with deliveries over 1,000 litres available. Our fuel cells (10,000 and 20,000 litre) provide extended on-site storage for operations far from supply.

Application FAQ
Common questions
01What is a mine-spec generator?+
A mine-spec generator is a portable diesel generator upgraded with earth leakage circuit breakers (RCD), heavy-duty rollover frames and compliance features for regulated mining sites. Our Genelite mine-spec range is purpose-built for these conditions.
02What size generator do I need for a mining site?+
Portable mine-spec units (6-8kVA) suit small site work. For processing plants and camps, heavy industrial units from 165kVA to 1000kVA+ provide continuous prime or standby power. Contact us for a site-specific recommendation.
03Can you deliver diesel to remote mining sites?+
Yes. We deliver final-filtered bulk diesel to remote mining sites across Victoria and Australia, with deliveries over 1,000 litres and fuel cells up to 20,000 litres for extended on-site storage.
