Project Summary

GeneRent deployed four 100kW BESS units with a 100kVA diesel generator to support tower cranes on a major highway reconstruction project at Cunninghams Gap, Queensland.

The rental system was designed to reduce diesel dependence while still maintaining the reliability required for major civil construction activity across a long-duration project.

The result is lower diesel runtime, reduced servicing and strong monthly savings per unit, while maintaining 100% redundancy for critical crane operations.

Project Insight

This project combines strong fuel and emissions savings with full redundancy, making it well suited to critical civil construction applications.
