Generator Transport & Placement

HTF Transport delivers and positions generators with HIAB crane vehicles. Standby sets, site power and event generators are transported and lifted directly into their running position in one visit, by one crew.

A generator is rarely dropped at a gate. It needs to sit on its plinth, in its compound or beside the equipment it feeds, and that is what crane delivery is for. We lift sets over fencing, into yards and onto prepared bases, subject to weight and crane reach, and we position them level and ready for connection by your engineers.

Replacement work is common: the old set is lifted out and the new one positioned in the same visit where access allows, keeping downtime to a minimum.

All About Generator Transport

For more information on generator transport and placement, please get in touch.

  • Can you place a generator exactly where it will run?

    Yes, that is the point of crane delivery. Sets are lifted over fencing and obstructions and positioned onto plinths, into compounds and beside buildings, subject to weight and crane reach.

  • Do you handle generator swaps?

    Yes. Where access allows, we lift the old set out and position the replacement in the same visit, which keeps disruption and downtime to a minimum.

  • Can you transport fuelled generators?

    Fuel is covered by dangerous goods rules, and our fleet is ADR compliant. Tell us the fuel state when you book and we will confirm how the movement needs to run.

  • Do you deliver generators for events?

    Yes. Event power sits alongside our event transport service, with deliveries timed around build and breakdown schedules.

  • What details do you need to quote?

    The set weight and dimensions, lifting points, fuel state, both addresses and what the final position looks like, including any fences or obstructions the crane must reach over.
