13 kVA Silent Diesel Generator – Perth Pick-up or Delivery
When you’re after serious, dependable power that doesn’t shout like a busted siren, this low-noise 13 kVA silent diesel generator hits the spot. Designed to deliver a full 13 kW (13 kVA) prime power output, single phase at 240 V (54 Amps) — it’s built for work in Perth’s heat, build-sites and backup-power scenarios. Water-cooled, enclosed in a robust, weather-resistant, sound-deadened canopy; it runs quietly (about 63 dB at 7 m) so you’re less likely to trigger neighbour complaints or extra noise-mitigation. With a 90 litre fuel tank offering up to about 30 hours continuous prime-load performance, it’s ready for a full shift (or two) without fuss. Forklift slots, lockable canopy, IP67-rated hard-wired terminals and optional remote-start make this unit as flexible as one of your skilled tradies. Want it for a site job, event or backup? Perth metro delivery or depot pick-up available.

Why This Generator Works So Well for Perth Jobs
Perth jobs often throw two big curveballs: relentless heat and time pressure. This unit is built to handle the heat: water-cooled engine means less derating risk in the 35-40 °C midday runs you get in WA. The silent canopy (63 dB) means you can use it for jobs near residential areas or events without causing a stink (literally). With a large 90 L fuel tank and 30-hour run capability, you’re not constantly refuelling mid-project. The single-phase 240 V output and 54 Amps make it suitable for most moderate site loads: lighting, power tools, backup circuits. The lockable, weather-resistant build means it doesn’t turn into a rust bucket after one harsh summer. In short: less downtime, fewer complaints, more uptime.
Typical Use Cases
- Medium-sized construction or refurbishment sites in Perth metro where contractors need around 50A at 240V, and noise must be kept down (e.g., inner suburbs).
- Outdoor events, festival power or marquee setups where the equipment needs to blend in and stay silent.
- Commercial backup for offices, small warehouses or retail stores: big enough to carry lighting, security systems, HVAC minimal loads.
- Remote or fringe-area jobs (Mandurah, Rockingham, Joondalup) where you might not want an air-cooled unit and prefer the robustness of a water-cooled canopy model.
Perth Service & Support You Can Count On
We’ve got a Perth-based depot so you’re not waiting for something shipped from interstate (yes, we know how frustrating that is). When you order, we check the unit’s full tank, load tested, canopy locked, ready to roll — no last-minute surprises. You’ll also get orientation: how to wire up the hard-wire terminals, safe operating tips in WA heat, and who to call if something unexpected comes up. Because even great gear needs smart use to make it deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need leads/cables? Yes — this unit uses hard-wired terminals (not standard domestic plug). Our team can advise what size cable you’ll need.
- Can it run continuously overnight? Yes — with the 90 L tank and 3 L/hr consumption, you’re good for long runs (30 hrs approximate at prime load).
- Is it really only 63 dB? Under test conditions (open space, 7 metres), yes. On a real site you’ll get extra reflections and enclosure-effect, so allow a buffer.
- Will it manage variable loads? Yes — the brushless alternator + AVR help stability when you start/stop tools or have fluctuating demand.
- What if I need backup for a shop overnight? Covered — hire it, set it up overnight, shut off when the store reopens. We can arrange delivery at time that suits you.
