Any business owner who witnessed Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast in 2012 or Hurricane Katrina’s southern wrath in 2005 knows that weather isn’t something to take one’s chances with. These so-called “super storms” devastated businesses not for just a few hours as is typically the case but for days or, in some cases, even weeks, hammering home the importance of a backup power supply. But even shorter-term power outages can really add up when it comes to the lost worker productivity and lost revenue they bring about. [More]

Congratulations, you’ve done your research and concluded that a diesel generator is right for you. You already know that this decision will result in the need for a smaller engine than a natural gas generator requires, thereby lowering your acquisition cost. You also know that you’ll enjoy a long lifespan with a diesel generator (upwards of 20,000 hours, prior to an overhaul) lower maintenance costs, greater fuel efficiency and faster response time. Before you pat yourself on the back, however, there are some steps you should take to ensure the diesel generator you are purchasing is the right one for your particular needs. The following is a buyer’s procedural for a diesel generator purchase. Ask yourself these important questions before making a diesel generator investment. [More]

Chicago, IL – July 11, 2011 – The night the lights went out in Chicago last month, one company managed to operate business as usual despite a nearly three-day power outage. Aaron Equipment Company, a new and used process equipment dealer, leveraged the same standby backup generators it encourages its customers to own. As a result, the firm was able to keep its doors open and its customers’ orders shipping on time.

According to the “Chicago Sun-Times,” a storm that ripped through the Chicago area on the night of June 21, 2011 left over 267,000 without power. The next day, 189,000 Chicagoans were still stumbling around in the dark. ComEd, the region’s electric supplier, anticipated that its powerless customers “could have electricity restored by late Thursday” – a full 48 hours later. Even that far out, however, it couldn’t guarantee that full restoration would be the case. [More]

Backup Generators Indispensible Business Commodity During Natural Disasters Aaron Equipment Company Reminding Business Owners of the Importance of Being Prepared Chicago, IL – March 17, 2011 – In the wake of a natural disaster that is being hailed as the worst crisis for Japan since World War II, millions of Japanese citizens are learning just how much havoc an unexpected event can wreak. Having backup generators in place could have averted some of the devastating after effects that resulted from the earthquake and tsunami. In particular, it could have insulated them from the widespread power outages. Aaron Equipment Company, a leading provider of new, used and reconditioned process equipment, including backup generators, is encouraging American businesses to learn from the situation in Japan by assessing their own disaster recovery plans. Earlier this week, the Bloomberg news service reported that millions in Japan were still without power five full days after a crippling earthquake and tsunami rocked the city of Tokyo. The official count of electrical outages was “about 1.3 million households.” To make matters worse, in an effort to save electricity, on March 14, Tokyo Electric announced that it would be starting “scheduled power outages in parts of the greater Tokyo area.” Needless to say, the economy in the Japanese nation is at a virtual standstill. That same day, the Air Self-Defense Forces prepared for the worst at a nuclear power plant in the north of Tokyo by transporting generators there. As the world watches, they can only hope that these after-the-fact initiatives don’t prove to be a case of too little too late. They can also take heed from Japan’s plight and arm themselves with a backup generator now – before such a calamity strikes closer to home. “Disasters like the tsunami in Japan and Hurricane Katrina are a wakeup call to business owners. They can lead to extended periods of time without utility power that knock out a company for days, even weeks,” explains Aaron Equipment Company. “But even everyday events like thunderstorms, unusual weather, brownouts and blackouts can wreak devastation on a business’s productivity. Having an emergency / stand-by / back-up power generator set installed can keep a company running business as usual under even the most unusual of circumstances. A generator set can run an entire facility as well as its servers, computers, phone systems, lights, air conditioners, machinery and all its electrical devices.” Business owners who are taking a second look at their own disaster readiness in light of the situation in Japan can see all of the used generators, new generators and automatic transfer switches Aaron Equipment Company has to offer.

Cat will extend the warranty on any of their natural gas and diesel generator sets up to 20 years from original date of shipment that have averaged 500 hrs or less run time per year. Plans range between 1 and 5 years. All plans require a CAT inspection and may also require a load bank test.
