Generator Services

Our modern workshop facilities support the maintenance and repair of our own fleet and provide us with a broad offering of electrical and mechanical support services to diesel generator owners and operators. Many of our customers choose to take up a service contract with us, which for a fixed price provides a service and maintenance regime designed to meet the customerโ€™s duty application. Work is often undertaken โ€˜out of hoursโ€™ to meet our customersโ€™ business needs. New technology is providing controllers with greater functionality and remote monitoring capabilities. We are able to โ€˜up fitโ€™ new controllers to existing generators. 

Where we have come from!

In 1991 Ken Maher acquired an existing generator hire business and relocated it to North Melbourne, commencing with five staff. Kenโ€™s 20 yearsโ€™ experience in electrical fitting/engineering with the Victorian railways was of great assistance in developing the specialist skills required to cope with Power Generation.

In 2008 the business was relocated from North Melbourne to a newer facility in Altona North. This facility was upgraded with the installation of a 25Ton overhead crane to handle the logistics of the business in a much more time efficient manner.

Ken and Mareeโ€™s son, Jarrod has been a part of the business from an early age while working weekends and holidays during school years. He continued this part time work during his time at University while studying Electrical Engineering. At the completion of these studies he joined the business full time. Jarrod has, over this period of many years, fulfilled all technical and logistical roles, and more recently adopted a role in management.

Jarrod and Ken bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the business and, along with a quality management team, continue to guide the future development of East Coast Generators beyond what it is today.
