2025 Hire Company of the Year, Trusts Shindaiwa Generators

CLIENT

Green Power Solutions

LOCATION

Melbourne, VIC

Green Power Solutions delivers temporary power across Melbourne, servicing construction, events, and emergency response sectors. Known for their commitment to sustainability, quality, and innovation, GPS has built a fleet centred around the premium Shindaiwa generator range.

Like many hire companies, Green Power Solutions operates in a market that constantly pressures capital spending. Lower-cost generators can be attractive at the point of purchase, but they often come with trade-offs, including shorter lifespan, increased maintenance and limited resale value. The company needed a generator fleet to handle high utilisation over long periods without compromising performance, acoustic compliance or environmental targets. The core question was whether a premium generator would justify the upfront investment through reduced operating costs and more substantial residual value.

The Commercial Case for Shindaiwa

After trialling and comparing multiple generator brands, Green Power Solutions decided to standardise on Shindaiwa. The range offered a combination of long-term reliability, high fuel efficiency and compatibility with both bio-diesel and HVO.

Powered by Kubota or Isuzu diesel engines, each unit delivered consistent output under demanding conditions. For GPS, the turning point came from years of field data. Shindaiwa units regularly clock 30,000 to 40,000 hours without failure when properly serviced. Even at 20,000 hours, Shindaiwa generators held close to 50 per cent of their original value at resale.

The generators also feature super-silent, sound-attenuated canopies, making them suitable for use in residential or event-based settings where noise control matters. That combination of performance, acoustic compliance and asset value made Shindaiwa the most commercially sensible choice in a demanding operating environment.

Reliable Compliant and Cost Efficient Power for GPS Operations

Today, Green Power Solutions relies heavily on its 20 to 50 kVA Shindaiwa units. These models form the backbone of their fleet and are deployed across construction sites, entertainment precincts, agricultural zones and backup commercial power setups.

Their ability to perform under continuous use, with flexible fuel options and low-noise operation, means GPS can support clients working in sensitive locations or under strict environmental regulations. The low maintenance requirements and strong second-hand market have also allowed GPS to streamline fleet management and reduce the total cost of ownership.

Shindaiwa generators have been a long-term asset for Green Power Solutions. The company has built a fleet that runs longer, retains value, and reinforces its reputation for dependable service. To put it in perspective, a Shindaiwa generator running 12 hours a day for over four years can still recover around half its original value at resale. That kind of return is rare in the generator market.

FROM THE CLIENT

"The ability to run far beyond an expected generator's lifetime sets them apart. We service them well internally and consistently see units exceeding 30-40,000 hours with no issues. They also retain their value, and we regularly sell Shindaiwa units with 20,000 hours for nearly 50% of their original purchase price. That speaks volumes about the build quality."

– Harry Baykan, General Manager of Green Power Solutions
