Rental companies across South America power some of the most demanding work in the world: offshore oil and gas platforms, high-altitude mines in the Andes, major construction projects and large outdoor events. They need generator sets that handle both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets, battery storage that cuts fuel use and noise, and a manufacturer that builds both to rental standards. MPMC is that manufacturing partner. Rental companies and leasing operators are one of MPMC's core customer groups, buying its generator sets and HBD-R battery storage to build their own rental offers.
Rental Generator Sets for 50 Hz and 60 Hz Markets
A Range Built for Rental Work
MPMC's generator sets span 9 kVA to 3,750 kVA and include a dedicated SR rental type built to Australian and European rental standards, SR2 silent units, and SC containerised units resistant to heat, corrosion and water. South American markets use both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, and MPMC covers both: the Cummins-documented 60 Hz line-up runs from the MCLS1260(S)-2 at 1,375 kVA prime and 1,575 kVA standby to the MCLS2000(S)-2 at 2,281.25 kVA prime and 2,500 kVA standby, and MPMC has delivered 50/60 Hz switchable rental units, such as the six 1,250 kVA Cummins QSK38-G5 sets for a 7.5 MW event rental project.
Engineered for Coast, Altitude and Heat
Offshore and coastal work calls for C5 marine-grade coating, available across MPMC's containerised range; Andean mines benefit from altitude derating calculated for each engine model; and copper radiators rated for 50°C ambient suit hot lowland sites. Every unit is load-tested from 0% to 110% in MPMC's CNAS-accredited test centre before shipment.

HBD-R Battery Storage Designed for Rental
The HBD-R Series is designed specifically for the rental market and as a companion to diesel generators. Its specialised rental structure offers up to 50% lower O&M cost, it is CE certified, and it parallels with DSE, ComAp, DEIF, Woodward, Smartgen, CAT EMCP and Cummins PCC controllers, so it works with the generators already in a rental company's yard. Units range from 30 kW / 61.44 kWh to 610 kW / 610.6 kWh, scale in parallel and use LFP cells rated for 6,000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge. Paired with a generator, HBD-R lets the engine run at around 75% load while the battery covers peaks, and MPMC product data associates this with fuel savings of up to 75%. On noise-sensitive sites, the battery supplies power alone during restricted hours.
