Generator rental Singapore
Generator rental in Singapore: diesel vs silent battery
Need a generator? For construction sites and big outdoor stages, a diesel genset supplier is the right call. For homes, HDB power shutdowns, indoor venues, weddings, pop-up booths and film shoots, rent a silent battery generator from Arkework Studio instead: no petrol, no fumes, no engine noise, no lorry, rented by the day with self-collection.

Choose diesel when
You need 10kVA and above for many hours outdoors: construction sites, aircon tents, large stage rigs. Expect delivery, setup and a licensed electrical worker.
Choose battery when
You need quiet, fume-free power indoors or near people: fridges, laptops, Wi-Fi, CPAP, LED lights, speakers, POS terminals and camera gear.
Safe indoors
Petrol and diesel generators give off exhaust and shouldn't run inside. A battery generator can sit in an HDB flat, condo, mall atrium or ballroom.
Silent for vows and recordings
No engine drone over speeches, interviews or live sound, so it can sit right beside the stage, arch or camera.
No minimum spend
Rent a single unit by the day. Light enough to carry, so you self-collect from our studio instead of paying for a lorry both ways.
Need more runtime?
Pair two units, or add the DJI 200W foldable solar panel to top up outdoors on multi-day jobs.

Common questions
Where can I rent a generator in Singapore?
It depends on what you need to power. For construction sites, big stages or anything needing 10kVA and above, use an industrial diesel generator supplier with delivery and a licensed electrical worker. For homes, HDB flats, indoor venues, weddings, pop-up booths, film shoots and power cuts, Arkework Studio rents silent battery generators (DJI Power and EcoFlow power stations) by the day with self-collection and no minimum spend.
Diesel generator or battery generator: which do I need?
Pick diesel if you need very high continuous power for many hours outdoors, such as aircon tents, stage rigs or site machinery. Pick a battery generator if you need quiet, fume-free power indoors or near people: fridges during an HDB shutdown, laptops and Wi-Fi, CPAP, LED lights, speakers, POS terminals and camera gear. Battery units need no petrol, no lorry and no electrician.
Can I use a generator inside an HDB flat or mall?
Petrol and diesel generators give off exhaust fumes and should not be run indoors. A battery power station gives off no fumes and runs almost silently, so it can sit inside a flat, condo, mall atrium or event hall.
How much power does a battery generator give?
Our largest unit, the DJI Power 2000, holds about 2,000Wh, and 1,000Wh-class units like the DJI Power 1000 and EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus typically run a household fridge for roughly 8-12 hours. Tell us what you want to run and for how long and we'll size it, or suggest two units.
Do you deliver generators?
Most renters self-collect from our studio, which keeps costs down since battery units are light enough to carry. Ask us on WhatsApp if you need another arrangement.
When do I collect and return the generator?
You can collect on your start date, or early during our collection window the day before at no extra cost. Return on your end date, or during our return window the day after. A one-day rental covers your whole shoot day, and we'll confirm the exact times on WhatsApp.
