Importance of Professional Generator Moving and Reinstallation
Commercial Generator Moving and Reinstallation Services in Kenya are critical for industries such as hospitals, data centers, factories, and hotels, where uninterrupted power is non-negotiable. Generators, especially large commercial units ranging from 20kVA to 500kVA, are heavy, complex, and sensitive to improper handling. Mishandling during transport or reinstallation can lead to mechanical damage, electrical faults, or safety hazards, resulting in costly repairs or operational delays.
Bestcare Movers’ Commercial Generator Moving and Reinstallation Services in Kenya ensure safe transportation, precise reinstallation, and compliance with regulations set by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Our services minimize risks, protect equipment, and ensure generators are fully operational at the new site, supporting businesses across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and beyond.
“Incorrect generator handling can cause 30% more wear on components, reducing lifespan by years.”
Our Moving and Reinstallation Process
Bestcare Movers follows a structured process for Commercial Generator Moving and Reinstallation Services in Kenya, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability:
- Pre-Move Assessment: Our technicians conduct a site visit to evaluate the generator’s size, weight, and electrical setup. We assess access routes, crane requirements, and new site conditions to plan the move.
- Disconnection and Preparation: Certified electricians safely disconnect the generator, including fuel lines, electrical wiring, and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) systems. The unit is secured with protective padding to prevent damage during transport.
- Transportation: Using specialized vehicles, such as flatbed trucks or cranes for larger units, we transport the generator to the new location. Our drivers follow safety protocols to avoid vibrations or shocks.
- Site Preparation at New Location: We prepare the new site by constructing a stable, vibration-resistant base, ensuring proper ventilation, and verifying compliance with NEMA noise and emission standards.
- Reinstallation: Our team reinstalls the generator, reconnects fuel and electrical systems, and integrates the ATS or manual transfer switch for seamless power switching.
- Commissioning and Testing: We perform load testing to verify performance, checking voltage stability, fuel efficiency, and noise levels. A compliance certificate is issued upon successful commissioning.
- Post-Move Support: We provide user training and a maintenance schedule to ensure long-term reliability.
This process, typically completed within 3–7 days depending on generator size and distance, ensures our Commercial Generator Moving and Reinstallation Services in Kenya deliver minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
“Reinstalled generators with proper load testing are 90% less likely to fail during initial operation.”
