Diesel Generators – Portable & Standby Power
Diesel Generators for Off-Grid & Backup Power in Australia
When the grid drops or a site has no wires to begin with, a diesel generator is the most dependable way to keep lights on and tools turning. At Mick’s Gone Bush we live off-grid ourselves, so every unit in this collection is chosen for real-world endurance—from the red-dust plains of WA to storm-lashed coastal sheds. Browse below for 8 kVA portable diesel generators through to 350 kVA three-phase workhorses, each pre-run, oil-filled, and backed by 24 × 7 warranty support.
How to Size Your Diesel Generator
Add the running wattage of priority loads—fridge, bore pump, welder, lights—then multiply by 1.25 to cover start-up surges. The table below shows popular Australian use-cases. If you’d like a precise calculation, try our Generator Load & Fuel Calculator or phone our team for a free sizing chat.
| Model Class | Continuous kVA | Noise @ 7 m | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portable | 8 – 10 kVA | 65–68 dB | Tradies, food vans, campsite 240 V |
| Quiet Standby | 18 – 30 kVA | 63–67 dB | Off-grid homes, workshops |
| Prime Duty | 45 – 85 kVA | 68–72 dB | Irrigation, compressors, welders |
| Industrial Three-Phase | 110 – 350 kVA | 72–78 dB | Processing plants, hospitals, mine camps |
Key Benefits of a Diesel Generator
- Fuel-Efficient – direct-injection engines burn up to 30 % less fuel than petrol under load.
- Long Runtimes – extended tanks keep power flowing through 8-hour shifts or overnight storms.
- High Torque – copes with start-up surges from pumps and compressors without stalling.
- Lower Fire Risk – diesel’s higher flash-point is safer to store on farms and construction sites.
- Built Tough – IP-rated sockets, powder-coated canopies, and oversized filters for red dust.
- Nationwide Warranty – 24 × 7 hotline and spare parts ship the same day.
Where Our Diesel Generators Make a Difference
Off-grid properties in the Victorian High Country rely on quiet 18 kVA models to cover solar downtime. Cattle stations in the Kimberley run 65 kVA three-phase sets for bore pumps and cold-rooms. Mobile contractors choose portable diesel generators for welders and compressors where mains power is kilometres away. Disaster-ready households fit an automatic transfer switch so fridges and lights kick in within seconds of a blackout.
What’s in the Range?
- Portable diesel generators – lightweight frames with electric start, perfect for field service work.
- Standby sets – silenced canopies, AVR voltage stability, remote monitoring via SMS.
- Three-phase workhorses – 45 kVA to 350 kVA, brushless alternators and Deep-Sea controllers.
- Bundle kits – generator + charger + fuel lines for turnkey installation.
Why Trust Mick’s Gone Bush?
Every unit is test-run on load banks in our Melbourne depot, filled with oil, and logged for warranty before dispatch. We live by our products—our own homestead runs on the same Hyundai set you’ll find below. Expect fast shipping Australia-wide, expert phone support, and genuine spare parts stocked locally.
For maintenance tips read our latest blog guide, or check out the fuel-consumption calculator to estimate running costs before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service a diesel generator?
Change engine oil and filters every 250 hours or six months. Run the set under load monthly to prevent wet-stacking.
Can I run sensitive electronics?
Yes. All models include Automatic Voltage Regulation (±2 %). Add a small UPS if you’re powering computers or servers.
Do you sell automatic transfer switches (ATS)?
We stock plug-and-play ATS units for 8 kVA–350 kVA sets. They start the generator within 15 seconds of a blackout.
How loud is a “quiet” diesel generator?
Portable silenced sets average 65–68 dB at 7 m—about a vacuum cleaner. Larger canopy units sit around 70–75 dB.
Do you freight to remote WA and NT?
Absolutely. Tail-lift trucks for metro, road-train or depot collection for remote regions. Quotes appear at checkout.
