5 Solid Cases for Renting Your Next Power Pack
Renting Power Packs for your reefer operation not only makes financial sense but when compared to renting other power generation solutions, Power Packs remain the best choice.
And because so much is a stake with every refrigerated container under your care, here are five reasons why your rental choice should be a Power Pack and not just any standby generator.
- Operational vs. Capital Expense – Renting power packs allows a more flexible approach to managing finances. Rather than budgeting a considerable expense all at once, rentals can provide a more economical method for handling day to day operations.
- Seasonal spikes in reefer throughput – Short term increases in refrigerated container throughput can create challenges for even the most prepared reefer operator. Power packs afford peace-of-mind during peak seasons, making large ship calls, day or night, more manageable.
- Port construction projects – When your reefer yards get disrupted during port construction projects, rental power packs assist port operators by creating temporary diesel-powered reefer yards in areas of the port where electrical infrastructure may not exist.
- More than a standby generator – Compared to rolling up a standard generator set from your local rental company, consider the unique design that power packs offer. Built with the reefer operator in mind, power packs feature integrated receptacles mounted on the enclosure, ease of service, and a footprint that fits neatly into the world of container handling. Renting a power pack is the more logical choice for reefer operators.
- Most importantly, Flexibility – Instant reefer yard - anyplace, at any time. Without the restriction of fixed electrical outlets, the reefer operator with diesel power packs at his disposal can set up a reefer yard anywhere space allows, big or small, in a short time. Renting power packs allows any port to enter the world of reefer cargo quickly.

Power Pool Plus, Inc. expands manufacturing with new operation in South Carolina
We are very excited to announce our plans to establish a new manufacturing center in Greenwood, South Carolina.
A multi-million dollar investment, projected to create 21 new jobs, will enable our company to service the increased demand for our manufactured generator products and expand our contract metal fabrication operations.
This new 30,000 sq ft building located on 12 acres provides the space needed to effectively increase our production capability, yet ensure sufficient capacity for future expansion.
The present location in Alpha, New Jersey, will remain fully staffed as the Northeast Rental and Service Center and continue with its primary focus on serving all northeast reefer cargo operators from northern Virginia to Maine with exceptional service and support.
All current manufacturing orders will be completed in our New Jersey facility. All new orders are scheduled to begin production in South Carolina early in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Over the past 30 years, Power Pool Plus has adapted to change. This latest move reflects a recognition that refrigerated cargo transportation is growing, and the demand for reliable purpose-built power generation equipment has never been higher.
Please look for more details and information in the coming weeks/months.
