Seems expensive but at that price i reckon we'd break even within around a couple of years on wasted generator hire charges,
not to mention the amount of time saved surveying the job and then finding out you have to leave site and then return with a genny,
Still aint got the balls to go in the office to ask if they'd buy me one though, thats bits scarier than the price

My bosses are interested as a track stopping breakdown costs about £30k a minute 
so anything to repair it quicker will help.

Our company went over to hiring most plant like gennys, kangos etc quite a few years back for several reasons,
Their take on it is if they dont have to store its not available to steal and they dont have to keep on top of plant maintenance.

thats correct so they have to put up with the inconvinience of having to leave jobs or waste time going for stuff . obviously the customer is paying for it

Sounds very similar to our fine if we miss a delivery and the track has to be stopped, judging by your location you must work for JLR?
