Diesel Generators for Sale in Singapore

Lincoln Machinery is a trusted supplier of industrial diesel generators in Singapore, with units ranging from portable single-phase sets to high-capacity three-phase generators. We sell and rent generators while providing servicing and repairs.

Reliable Diesel Generators for Industrial & Commercial Applications

Diesel generators deliver dependable power for sites and facilities where a stable supply is critical, from construction and marine works to oil and gas, process plants and events. Lincoln Machinery supplies generators across these industries and has built decades of technical experience in sizing, installing and maintaining power equipment.

Diesel generators are typically purchased or rented with the equipment that distributes and controls the power, such as distribution boards, power and earthing cables, change-over switches, and tower lights for site lighting. Lincoln Machinery supplies a range of related equipment alongside the generator, so your power setup arrives complete and site-ready.

Key Features to Consider Before Buying

  • Reliable power output: Stable voltage and frequency protect motors, welding sets and sensitive equipment.
  • Fuel efficiency: Efficient sets lower running costs, and running at around 80% load is optimal for economy and lifespan.
  • Low-noise operation: For construction near residential areas where low noise is required, a silent generator is the optimal choice
  • Portability: Trailer and wheel-mounted sets move easily between locations.
  • Durability: Industrial-grade builds capable of handling continuous outdoor operation.
  • Safety features: Spark arrestors, oil trays and earthing support site safety and compliance.
  • Ease of maintenance: Accessible service points and spare parts keep downtime low.

Choosing the Right Diesel Generator

Before choosing, it helps to work out a few requirements. Having these answers ready lets our engineers match you to the right set quickly:

  • Load Requirement: Your total power requirement, in kVA or amps.
  • Operation Type: Whether you need continuous (prime) or standby power.
  • Voltage Requirement: Whether your equipment runs on 400 V (three-phase) or 230 V (single-phase).
  • Distribution Setup: How many sub-boards or outlet points you need.
  • Distance/Cable Run: The distance between the generator and the load.
  • Power Source: Whether the generator runs alone, synchronised, or with mains backup.
  • Transfer Type: Whether you need manual or automatic transfer between sources

Additionally, you can also consider these factors:

Portable diesel generators are trailer or wheel mounted and suit sites where power needs to move, such as construction and remote works. Stationary sets are fixed installations for facilities that need a permanent supply point. Smaller kVA units are the most common portable diesel generator choices, while larger sets are usually positioned and fenced on site.

Category Open-Type Silent
Enclosure Frame only, no acoustic canopy Acoustic canopy encloses the set
Noise level Higher Lower
Best for Remote and open sites Occupied, built-up or noise-sensitive sites
Placement Fenced site areas Near work areas and public spaces

Standby generators supply power when the mains fails, using change-over switches or an automatic transfer switch (ATS) for a fast handover.

Prime power generators are the main supply on sites without mains and are built to run for extended hours. Choose based on whether the generator is a backup or your primary source.

Fuel consumption rises with load, so correct sizing is the main driver of running cost. Tank capacity sets the runtime between refuels, from compact tanks on small sets to over 1000 litres on large units.

For continuous operation, factor in refuelling access and consider a larger tank to reduce downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Add up the total load running at once, convert it to kVA, and choose a generator that operates at around 80% of its rated capacity for that load. Lincoln Machinery’s engineers can calculate this against your equipment and site, allowing a safety margin so the set is neither overloaded nor oversized.

Yes. Our 500 kVA, 650 kVA and 1000 kVA diesel generators come ready with a synchronisation control system, so units can run in parallel for more capacity or built-in redundancy. For loads above 1000 kVA, Lincoln Machinery can synchronise multiple generators up to 16,000 kVA, matched to your project’s demand.

A silent generator has an acoustic canopy that reduces noise, which suits occupied and built-up sites, while an open-type generator has no canopy and runs louder, suiting remote or fenced site areas. Both deliver the same power output for a given rating.

Construction sites typically use portable three-phase diesel generators sized to the site’s combined tool and equipment load, often with a distribution board for multiple outlets. Lincoln Machinery can recommend a set and power distribution setup based on your site layout and load.

Yes. Lincoln Machinery supplies portable diesel generators in Singapore, including trailer and wheel-mounted sets that move easily between sites. Smaller kVA units are the most portable, and our team can advise on the right size for your work.
