Diesel Generator – 6kva

You have found the right field, measured the inflatables and organised the event. Then someone asks the easily overlooked question: where will the blowers be plugged in?

Our 6kva diesel generator provides a practical answer when the entertainment is being positioned beyond the reach of a suitable mains socket. It can be added to inflatable bookings in Huddersfield and surrounding areas, helping organisers use fields, recreation grounds and substantial gardens that would otherwise have no convenient source of electricity.

When Distance Becomes the Problem

Electric inflatable blowers ordinarily connect to a standard plug socket using an appropriate extension cable. That arrangement works when the agreed cable route is no longer than 50 metres.

A generator may be required when:

  • The event is taking place in an open field
  • The nearest building is too far from the installation point
  • No suitable outdoor power supply is available
  • Several inflatable units are being booked
  • The venue cannot provide the required electricity
  • Running long cables through public routes would be impractical

Tell us exactly which inflatables you intend to hire. The number and type of blowers will determine whether this generator is appropriate for the proposed setup.

One Inflatable or Several?

The most economical power choice can depend on the size of the booking.

For One Castle

If you are hiring a single compatible bouncy castle in a location without mains power, Petrol Blowers may offer a simpler and less expensive solution. Rather than producing electricity for an electric blower, a suitable petrol blower directly inflates the unit.

For Multiple Units

The 6kva diesel generator may be more appropriate when an event includes several inflatables. It can provide one planned power arrangement for compatible electric blowers, subject to the total requirement being checked by our team.

Do not choose between the two options based solely on the number of products in your basket. Call 07944 487 578 with the equipment list and venue information so we can advise which arrangement is suitable.

Example Power-Planning Scenarios

Event Setup Option to Discuss With Us
One castle in a garden with a nearby socket Standard electric blower and extension cable
One compatible inflatable in a remote field Petrol blower may be the cheaper choice
Several inflatables with no mains supply 6kva diesel generator may be appropriate
Several units sharing venue electricity Contact us to check the available supply
Public event with a long cable route Generator placement may provide a more practical setup

This table is a planning guide rather than a guarantee of compatibility. The final arrangement depends on the exact inflatables, blowers, hire duration and venue layout.

Useful for Larger Outdoor Events

A remote power source can significantly expand the possible installation area at a large venue. Instead of placing every inflatable near a clubhouse or school building, organisers may be able to create an entertainment zone elsewhere on the site, subject to access and installation requirements.

This can be valuable for:

  • School fairs and activity days
  • Community galas
  • Charity fundraisers
  • Corporate family days
  • Sports-club celebrations
  • Outdoor wedding receptions
  • Events held in large private grounds

The generator can accompany suitable attractions from Bouncy Castles, Assault Courses and Inflatable Slides. Each proposed combination must be checked before the event.

Allow for the Hire Duration and Diesel

The generator is hired at an additional cost to the inflatable equipment. Depending on how long it will operate, an additional diesel charge may also apply.

Provide accurate event start and finish times when asking for a quotation. A short children’s birthday and a full-day public event have different fuel requirements, even if the same inflatables are being used.

We can explain the expected diesel arrangements before the booking is confirmed, helping you account for the complete power cost rather than encountering an unexpected addition on the day.

Generator Positioning Is Part of the Event Layout

The generator needs a suitable operating position away from children, queues and general visitor movement. It must not be treated as an item that can be squeezed into whatever space remains after the inflatables have been installed.

When planning the location, consider:

  • Access for delivery and collection
  • The distance to each electric blower
  • Separation from play and spectator areas
  • Clear routes for the required cables
  • The event venue’s rules regarding generators
  • Whether other suppliers will be using their own power equipment

Customers and third-party suppliers should not connect additional equipment without prior agreement. The generator must be reserved for the approved setup and operated according to the instructions provided.

Add Remote Power to Your Inflatable Booking

The 6kva Diesel Generator can be supplied with suitable bookings in Huddersfield, Wakefield, Brighouse, Holmfirth, Kirkburton and Highburton. Add it to your order when remote power is required, or compare other practical equipment within Fun Games / Extras.
