Applications for the BESS 300 Hire

The BESS 300 is a fit for projects where smaller battery hire units would struggle to meet sustained demand across a full shift:

  • Large infrastructure construction programmes
  • Tunnelling, highway, rail, and bridge constructions
  • Mining sector operations
  • Ports, logistics hubs, and freight terminals
  • Industrial manufacturing plants
  • Large-scale construction sites operating cranes, hoists, large pumps, or multi-zone loads
  • Critical government and defence facilities
  • Renewable energy integration projects

Explore the full range of available BESS units for hire, or call 1300 767 257 to discuss whether the BESS 300 or a custom hybrid configuration is the right match for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BESS 300 and what kind of operations is it built for?

The BESS 300 is a 300 kVA large-scale commercial battery energy storage unit available for hire across Sydney, Greater Sydney, Brisbane, and Canberra. It’s engineered for major infrastructure projects, tier-one construction programmes, industrial facilities, mining operations, and critical national assets where sustained, high-volume, emission-free power output is a project-critical specification.

How does the BESS 300 reduce overall project energy costs?

In a hybrid configuration, the BESS 300 allows the diesel generator to operate only during optimal charging windows. This lessens total fuel consumption and engine hours. Fewer engine hours mean less frequent servicing, lower consumable costs, and a longer operational lifespan for the generator. When combined with solar PV input, the BESS 300 can also store renewable energy generated during daylight hours and discharge it across the night shift.

What is Power Booster mode and when would I use it on a BESS 300 deployment?

Power Booster is a HICORE operating mode specifically designed for the torque-intensive start-up of large electric motors like pumps, compressors, cranes, and hoists. Rather than sizing your generator to handle peak motor-start current, the BESS 300 delivers the current surge required while the generator operates steadily within its efficient load band. This reduces generator sizing requirements, protects equipment from voltage sag, and improves overall system efficiency on sites with heavy rotating machinery.

Can the BESS 300 contribute to sustainability reporting and ESG documentation?

Yes, the HIMOINSA C4Cloud platform generates continuous data on energy consumption, diesel displacement, CO₂ reduction, and generator run-time savings. All are exportable for use in NABERS assessments, project sustainability reports, tender documentation, and corporate ESG disclosures.

Is the BESS 300 appropriate for remote mining sites?

Yes. For mining and resource sector applications, the BESS 300 addresses two of the most significant operational pain points at remote sites: fuel logistics and generator maintenance.

How does Rental Power monitor and support the BESS 300 during the hire period?

The BESS 300 is connected to HIMOINSA’s C4Cloud platform for the duration of the hire period. It gives Rental Power’s technical team and project management team continuous remote visibility of system performance, load profiles, battery state, and any diagnostic alerts.

What hire terms are available for the BESS 300?

Rental Power offers hire terms ranging from short-term project deployments to multi-year infrastructure contracts for the BESS 300. We work closely with procurement and project teams early in the planning phase to structure hire arrangements that align with project milestones and budget cycles. Call 1300 767 257 for any questions.

What if I need large-scale power urgently?

Call Rental Power directly on 1300 767 257. While the BESS 300 is primarily designed for planned project deployments, our 24/7 emergency generator hire can rapidly mobilise large-scale power solutions across Sydney, Brisbane, and Canberra when critical situations arise.

Need a Backup Power Battery System?

Rental Power’s team works alongside project managers, site engineers, and procurement teams to ensure the right unit and the right configuration are in place before work begins.

Call 1300 767 257 for a direct technical conversation, or submit an enquiry and we’ll respond as soon as possible.
