WHY USE COMMERCIAL DIESEL GENERATORS FOR BACKUP POWER?
Diesel generators are widely used as industrial and commercial standby generator systems, ensuring continuous power supplies for critical facilities such as data centers, hospitals, and financial and commercial buildings. They are such a reliable power source that many companies may use a diesel-fueled commercial generator in their primary power systems.
Modern diesel generators can also start and assume a load in less than 10 seconds, making them ideal as industrial backup generators. Consider installing one as a commercial standby generator for a backup or standby power system, along with a well-tuned automatic transfer switch. Together, they can ensure power resilience and continuity for critical facilities.
A diesel generator can produce more energy from a tank of diesel than from the same volume of gasoline. This is because diesel fuel has a higher density than gasoline, making it slightly higher in price. But, when it comes to backup and standby power, the cost of fuel is less important since the purpose of your diesel generator is to provide reliable backup power when you need it.

Diesel power generators, or electrical generator sets, are used in many industries and commercial facilities, from data centers and hospitals to financial and commercial buildings. Diesel generators can be used as prime power sources or as standby backup power supplies.
An advantage of using diesel generators is that diesel fuel has a higher density. This means a certain amount of diesel provides more energy than the same volume of gasoline. On top of that, diesel generators can start up and assume an electrical load in less than 10 seconds, making them an ideal choice for industrial and commercial primary and backup power systems.
Global Power Supply has a surplus inventory of diesel generators in various sizes from all the leading critical power manufacturers in the industry.

Diesel standby generators supply more than just backup energy amid a storm, disruption, or facility-wide outage. They’re available to use wherever and whenever you need them, granting commercial, residential, and other municipal facilities immediate, trustworthy power every time.
A few hours of power lost can mean impactful, preventable risks. Global Power Supply offers reliable standby diesel generators nationwide to prevent widespread power loss from impacting your business.
Hear from our experts about what makes GPS a leading industrial backup generator supplier with these frequently asked questions.
What is a standby diesel generator?
Automatic start, automatic stop. One standby diesel generator consists of both a diesel generator engine and an electric converter. The goal of each diesel engine is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy, which is then turned into the electricity used to power the generator.
Once diesel fuel is synthesized into mechanical energy, the machine’s alternator rotor is spun fast enough to produce electricity, quickly powering the spaces that need it most. Soon enough, lights, power grids, and HVAC systems are back on.
You can count on a standby diesel generator to instantly power the following:
- HVAC Systems (AC, Ventilation)
- Lights
- Refrigerators / Freezers
- Essential Healthcare Equipment (Emergency Lighting, Life Support Equipment)
- Industrial Equipment (Heavy Machinery)
What you can’t control or streamline in the event of an emergency, a diesel backup generator can. Curious about what a GPS backup generator could do for your facility? Contact us today.
Can your industrial backup generators be customized to meet specific site requirements?
Each facility has its own needs, requirements, and codes to comply with. That means finding a backup generator that addresses each of these can be complex. Global Power Supply simplifies the process by offering industrial-grade generators built to be integrated with various facility types.
Customizations available on each backup generator offered at GPS include:
- Additional Fuel Tanks: Larger facilities may need additional fuel tanks to store and utilize the fuel necessary to power their space. Choosing to include an external fuel tank in your backup regimen gives your business less room for error and more room for power.
- Mobile / Mounted Capabilities: Most diesel-operated generators have mobile capabilities. You can mount them on a trailer and bring them to whatever space needs immediate attention, no matter the size or shape of the facility. Explore our range of mobile generators.
- Emission Control Systems: Our generators have built-in emission control systems that allow you to control the speed at which power and emissions are produced, limiting the amount of natural contaminants present. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) are a popular GPS choice.
- Remote Monitoring: Via smartphone or computer, control the speed, intensity, and time-period of power production with a remote monitoring system.
If you’re unsure about your space’s specific needs (whether code-based or physical), work closely with a Global Power expert to get the standby power you deserve.
What maintenance services are available for standby diesel generators?
No matter how much time has passed, you can count on Global Power Supply to remain invested in the strength of your generator. Sometimes, facilities can overburden their diesel generators unknowingly, creating larger risks than before.

Are your standby diesel generators compliant with local emissions and noise regulations?
All Global Power Supply standby generators, including diesel-specific units, are 100% compliant with local emissions and noise regulations. In fact, we offer specific maintenance services designed to ensure year-round code compliance.
For emissions control, look to internal control systems, such as a selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Noise regulations occur on a case-by-case basis, but you can trust that our standardized generators are made with local, facility, and or industry guidelines in mind.
Do you offer maintenance and installation services for critical facilities?
Maintenance and installation services for critical facilities will focus more on prevention, as these spaces (hospitals, clinics, power plants) require evergreen power. We intend to prevent major power outages for critical, high-intensity facilities with regular power checks and routine maintenance.
This allows us to pinpoint potential power vulnerabilities before they occur. If you believe that your critical facility may be harboring potential vulnerabilities, call GPS for a thorough inspection and complimentary remediation service.
