Rentals, Sales, and Services
rentals
Rentals are a big part of Saunders’ business. We rent power equipment directly to productions, studio lots, facilities and other vendors in our industries. Many of the rentable items are listed throughout the options under the POWER SOLUTIONS webpage. Some equipment requires Saunders trained operators. (Note: Saunders is an approved vendor in the NBC Redbook.)

Power Outages

Backfeeds
Planned Outages
Quite often, the power serving agency – the utility company – will have a scheduled maintenance or repair to perform which will require a scheduled or planned outage. In these instances, it is left up to the customer to provide for interim power while the maintenance is being performed.
We have performed numerous back feed connections in both a co-generation format and manual transfer configurations. When properly planned, these transitions are quite often transparent to the end use customer which translates into little to no down time. In today’s business climate, we can little afford loss of revenue due to power outages. A planned outage transition power system is the best solution. Call us for a planned outage survey.
