FAQ

How long can a generator run continuously?

The runtime of a generator depends on its type, size, fuel source, and operating load. Diesel generators with water-cooled systems can typically run for 24–48 hours or longer with proper fuel supply and maintenance, making them suitable for heavy-duty continuous use. Petrol generators are generally better suited for shorter operating periods, while inverter generators can run 8–20 hours depending on the load and fuel tank size. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and ensure regular servicing for safe operation.

Do you offer both petrol and diesel generators?

Yes. Riequip NZ supplies a wide range of petrol and diesel generators to suit different applications. Petrol generators are ideal for portable power, camping, DIY, and light trade use, while diesel generators are designed for heavy-duty, commercial, and long-duration power requirements across Christchurch.

What type of generator is suitable for food carts?

Inverter generators are highly recommended for food carts because they provide clean and stable power for sensitive equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, lighting, and cooking appliances. A quiet, fuel-efficient inverter generator is ideal for customer-facing environments. Depending on your power requirements, models in the 5.5kW–7kW range are commonly suitable.

Are your water pumps suitable for flood or drainage work?

Yes. Standard water transfer pumps are suitable for clean water applications, while trash pumps are designed for moving debris-filled water during flood management, construction drainage, and other demanding applications. Flexi-Drive pumps provide a portable engine-driven pumping solution for remote or hard-to-access locations.

How do you ensure equipment reliability?

Riequip ensures equipment reliability through regular servicing, detailed inspections, and supplying products from trusted manufacturers. This helps ensure generators, water pumps, and other equipment deliver dependable performance when needed.

Does Riequip NZ offer advice on the best power equipment for my needs?

Yes. Riequip provides expert advice to help you choose the right generator, water pump, or power equipment based on your Christchurch project requirements, application, and power needs.
