For generator hire
Generator rental software that keeps every set accounted for
Know which generator is out, where the meter stands, when it is due back and whether it is ready for the next job — without rebuilding the answer from three spreadsheets.
Free for 7 days. No card required.
Built for sets that move between sites
A generator is more than a stock count. It has a serial number, a meter, service intervals, fuel questions and a return condition that matter to the next booking.
-
Availability by actual set
Reserve the specific generator, not an anonymous quantity. A set in service or already on site cannot be promised twice.
-
Meter and condition records
Keep handover and return notes, photos and readings with the rental so the next hire starts with a clear baseline.
-
Service blocks the calendar
When a unit enters the workshop, it disappears from availability until the job is closed. Downtime is visible instead of being guessed.
-
Deposits and damage
Record the deposit, return condition and any deduction against the same contract and customer.
-
Site handover from a phone
Scan the unit, photograph it, capture a signature and take payment at the site or from the yard.
Control
The right set reaches the right site
Generator hire gets complicated when units move, return late or need servicing between jobs. Rent in Hand keeps the booking, location, condition and availability tied to the actual unit your team is handling.
- Serialised generator records
- Site and delivery details on the booking
- Meter and condition notes at both ends
- Automatic availability during repair
Margin
See what each unit earns after the quiet costs
Revenue is only half the decision. Compare days on hire with repair spend, downtime and the history of each generator before you buy another or retire one.
- Revenue and utilisation per unit
- Repair costs on the same asset
- Deposits held and returned separately
- Exportable data for your own review
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent generators by day, week or month?
Yes. Set hourly, daily or weekly rates and extend a live rental without closing and re-keying the order.
Can service downtime prevent a booking?
Yes. An item in repair or scheduled maintenance is removed from availability until it is ready to go out again.
Can my driver complete the handover on site?
Yes. The mobile workflow supports scanning, condition photos, signatures and payment away from the counter.
Run one generator hire through it
