FAQ

The runtime of a generator depends on its type, size, and fuel source.

Diesel generators which are water cooled, can typically run for 24–48 hours or longer with proper fuel supply and maintenance, making them ideal for heavy-duty, continuous use.

Petrol generators are better suited for shorter runs — usually 6–12 hours at a time — as they have smaller fuel tanks and require more frequent refueling.

Inverter generators are designed for efficiency and can run 8–20 hours depending on the load and tank size, making them great for residential or portable use.

For best performance and safety, we recommend giving your generator rest periods during prolonged use, following the manufacturer’s guidelines, and ensuring regular servicing.

Yes. At Riequip NZ, we supply a wide range of both petrol and diesel generators to suit different needs. Petrol generators are popular for smaller, portable applications like camping, DIY, and light trade use, while diesel generators are ideal for heavy-duty, long-running, and commercial jobs. Our range includes leading brands and inverter models, ensuring reliable power solutions for customers across Christchurch.

For food carts, inverter generators are highly recommended. They provide clean, stable power for sensitive appliances like refrigerators, freezers, lights, and cooking equipment. Look for a compact, fuel-efficient model with low noise output (ideal for customer-facing setups). Depending on your equipment load, a 5.5kW–7kW inverter generator is usually sufficient.

For Christchurch’s diverse needs, standard water pumps are commonly used for clean water applications, while trash pumps are ideal for removing debris-filled water, such as during flood management or construction site drainage. Flexi-Drive pumps offer a versatile solution in remote or hard-to-reach locations, providing portable and engine-driven pumping power where conventional setups may not be practical.

Through regular servicing, thorough inspections, and sourcing gear from trusted manufacturers, we ensure all equipment is dependable and safe to use.

Absolutely. Riequip provides expert consultation to help you select the right generator, water pump, or power equipment tailored to your specific Christchurch project requirements.
