The generator should be inspected before major repairs or replacement parts are authorised.

Industrial generators are often critical to business operations.

We can assist with repair enquiries for generators used at:

  • Factories

  • Warehouses

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Farms

  • Workshops

  • Construction sites

  • Commercial properties

  • Industrial operations

  • Distribution centres

Larger generator repairs may require an initial inspection and diagnostic assessment before a repair quotation can be prepared.

Generator Not Starting?

A generator that fails to start does not necessarily mean that the entire generator needs replacement.

Possible causes can include issues involving the:

Battery • Starter System • Fuel Supply • Filters • Electrical Connections • Control System

The correct cause should be identified before parts are replaced.

Generator Overheating Repairs

Overheating can affect generator performance and potentially lead to further damage if operation continues.

Depending on the generator, overheating may be associated with issues involving the cooling system, coolant level, radiator, hoses, belts, airflow or operating conditions.

If your generator repeatedly overheats, stop operating it and arrange an inspection.

Generator Electrical Faults

A generator engine may start normally while the unit still fails to provide the expected electrical output.

Electrical problems can require inspection of relevant components and connections.

Depending on the system, this may include:

  • Control panel

  • Circuit protection

  • Wiring

  • Electrical connections

  • Charging components

  • Output-related components

  • ATS/changeover system

Electrical diagnosis and repair should be carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.

Generator Battery & Starting System Repairs

Battery and starting-system problems are common reasons generators fail to start.

Inspection may include checking the battery condition, terminals, connections, charging system and starting components.

Where replacement is required, the correct battery specification should be used for the generator.

Generator Fuel System Repairs

Problems with fuel delivery can prevent a generator from starting or operating correctly.

Depending on the generator, repair work may involve inspection of:

Fuel Filters • Fuel Lines • Connections • Fuel Supply Components • Visible Fuel Leaks

Any repair requirements identified during inspection can be quoted accordingly.

Generator Cooling System Repairs

The generator cooling system plays an important role in maintaining appropriate engine temperature.

Cooling-system repairs may involve applicable:

Radiators • Hoses • Belts • Connections • Coolant Components

The exact components vary according to generator make and model.

Generator Control Panel Repairs

Modern generators may use control systems to monitor and manage operation.

If the generator displays warning lights, alarms, error messages or unexpected shutdowns, the control system and associated components may require diagnosis.

Provide us with the displayed error or fault code where possible when requesting assistance.

Generator Spare Parts

Generator repairs sometimes require replacement components.

Depending on availability, we can assist customers looking for selected:

  • Oil filters

  • Fuel filters

  • Air filters

  • Batteries

  • Belts

  • Hoses

  • Service kits

  • Electrical components

  • Selected engine components

  • Generator accessories

Providing the make, model and serial number helps identify compatible replacement parts.

Generator Repairs vs Replacement

Not every faulty generator should automatically be replaced.

Where practical, we can assess whether servicing or repairing the existing generator may be appropriate.

However, if repair costs become uneconomical or critical parts are unavailable, replacing the generator may provide a better long-term solution.

Best Golf Carts Dealers (PTY) LTD also supplies new and used generators, allowing customers to request replacement options where required.
