180 KVA Silent Diesel Generator for Rent in Dubai & UAE
The last rung before 200 KVA — maximum capacity from the six-cylinder 1106 platform.
The 180 KVA silent diesel generator takes the Perkins 1106A platform to its highest rating, the TAG4. Because it is the top of that engine family it is a well-proven, widely serviced machine rather than a niche build, and it gives you 144 kW — within touching distance of a 200 KVA — with a smaller footprint and lower fuel burn. It is the practical ceiling before stepping up to the larger 1306 series in the 200 KVA.

What a 180 KVA Generator Will Run
These are real loads we have supplied this set for, not theoretical maximums. A 180 KVA generator gives 144 kW of continuous power at the standard 0.8 power factor. Size your job so the running load sits between 50 and 80 percent of that, which leaves headroom for the surge when motors start. If you are unsure, send us your equipment list and we will size it for you at no cost.

180 KVA Compared With the Sizes Either Side
Picking a generator one size too small costs you downtime; one size too large costs you fuel and risks wet stacking. This is how the 180 KVA stacks up against its neighbours in our fleet.

180 KVA Generator Rental — Questions We Get Asked
Is 180 KVA meaningfully different from 200 KVA?
In capacity, only slightly — 144 kW against 160 kW. The real differences are footprint, weight and fuel burn, all of which are lower on the 180. If your load is under about 140 kW the 180 is the better hire.
What is the runtime between refuelling?
The 380 litre tank gives roughly 11 hours at 75% load. For 24-hour running we normally pair it with a scheduled refuelling service.
How much does it cost to rent a 180 KVA generator in Dubai?
Rates depend on hire duration, delivery point and whether you need fuel and an operator included. Daily, weekly and monthly rates are all available and monthly hire is by far the cheapest per day. Send us your dates and location and we will come back with a fixed written quote, with no obligation.
What load will a 180 KVA generator actually carry?
A 180 KVA set delivers 144 kW of continuous power at the standard 0.8 power factor. As a rule, size your generator so the running load sits between 50 and 80 percent of that figure, which leaves room for the surge when motors start. Projects needing close to 200 KVA capacity in a smaller footprint is a typical fit.
Do you deliver a 180 KVA generator across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver to Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, including remote sites, farms and desert locations. Same-day delivery is normally possible within Dubai when you book before midday.
Is fuel included with the generator hire?
We deliver the set with a full tank as standard. After that you can refuel yourself or add our scheduled refuelling service, which we usually recommend for continuous running so nobody has to watch the gauge. The 380 litre tank on this unit gives roughly 11 hours at 75 percent load.
What happens if the generator breaks down?
Call us and we respond 24/7. Every set is serviced and load-tested before it leaves our yard, but if a fault does occur on site we attend and, where it cannot be fixed quickly, we swap the unit so your work does not stop.
