If you're selling, have ready
- Make, model and serial numbers of the engine and generator
- Year in service
- Running hours, and hours since the last major overhaul
- Maintenance records and oil analysis
- Emissions controls fitted, and the last emissions test
- The fuel it runs on, and the gas pressure it needs
- Frequency and voltage: 60 Hz or 50 Hz
- What's included: switchgear, controls, cooling, enclosure
- Removal: who, how fast, any site deadline
If you're buying, ask
- Hours since the last major overhaul, and when the next one is due
- Emissions controls fitted, and what your permit allows
- The gas quality and supply pressure it needs
- 60 Hz or 50 Hz: a genset built for one frequency is rarely converted to the other
- How many units are available, and whether they run in parallel
- How it was preserved after shutdown
- Who pays for removal and shipping
Why existing units matter
New large gas engines are often ordered as a fleet, and delivery can take a year or more.
Gensets from a closed site or a finished project are already built and have a service history. They still need their records, an independent inspection and a plan to move them. We bring the records to the buyer and keep each step moving.
