Sizing Your Generator, For sizing you generator use these formulas, TO FIGURE HOW MANY AMPS A CERTAIN KW UNIT WILL DELIVER ON SINGLE PHASE TAKE KW AND MULTIPLY BY 1000 THEN DIVIDE BY THE VOLTAGE YOU ARE GOING TO USE FORMULA IS       KW * 1000 / NEEDED VOLTAGE = AMPERAGE AVAILABLE. or just click on this link which will take you to charts which have all the math done for you. GENERATOR SIZING CHART

TO FIGURE HOW MANY AMPS A CERTAIN UNIT WILL DELIVER ON 3 PHASE, TAKE KW AND MULTIPLY BY 1000 THEN DIVIDE THAT BY VOLTAGE MULTIPLIED BY 1.73 MULTIPLIED BY .8       FORMULA IS KW * 1000 / ((VOLTAGE * 1.73) *.8) or just click on this link which will take you to charts which have all the math done for you. GENERATOR SIZING CHART

Standby Rates We do offer Standby Services for those who want to have a generator just in case there is an outage. Take the prices shown and multiply by .85 to get the standby rate which are prices shown less 15%. Any time on the meter will be billed at the applicable rate.

Additional Costs

Multiple Shifts Prices quoted are for 8 hour single shift. Overage or Double shift will be billed at rate multiplied by 1.5 and triple shift will be billed at rate multiplied by 2.

High Demand times At high Demand times Floods, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Ice Storms etc. we default to our Catastrophe Rates or to, supply and demand pricing which may be substantially higher than rates shown. Also during these periods there will be a 1 week minimum and all units will be billed at triple shift rate (rates shown multiplied by 2) regardless of actual usage of hours on units.

Equipment Transportation All freight charges for the above equipment will be charged $1.5 a mile plus current fuel surcharge rate. In figuring freight costs, factor in loaded drive time to job site and unloaded drive time back. Any delays at delivery site to get unloaded or to position the unit will be billed to the customer at $99.00 per hour. Of course customer can forgo all transportation charges and self transport the unit. To ensure safety for those who wish to self transport we have made our trailer hook up and wiring accessible at this link, TRAILER HOOK UP SPECIFICATIONS.

Labor If requested, our rate will be $99.00 per hour per standard workday, based on normal 7:00 am. - 3:30pm. Please inquire about labor costs for times other than listed above.

Environmental Fees A 2% charge of the rental cost of our generators will be added to your final invoice. This fee is to cover the disposal of used motor oil, antifreeze, refrigerants, and refrigerant oil. The environmental fee will not exceed $75.00. All accessory items are excluded from this charge.

Equipment Preventative Maintenance Our diesel powered equipment requires service periodically. If you operate our equipment past its service interval, You the Customer will be responsible for performing this service. Service intervals occur every 250 hours. Our service department can perform these services for an additional charge. For each occurrence where you pass the service interval without providing this service, Customer will be billed and agrees to pay $500 for each missed occurrence. Customer will also be billed and agrees to pay for any long term damage this failure of preventative maintenance creates.

Customer's Responsibilities You the customer will be responsible for obtaining any relevant operating permits, the payment of all local and state taxes and specialized or additional union labor. You will also have to contact your insurance company and have them list Rod’s Service as an additional insured under your current policy and then fax an Accord Certificate of Liability Insurance to us Listing us as an additional insured for the Leased equipment with coverage being at least $75,000.00 or greater for leased borrowed or rented equipment.

Figuring Rental Costs for Bidding Purposes and Purchase Orders Figure your rental period you will need the generator from the chart above and choose the rental amount from that box, If discounts apply use the discount multiplier shown and multiply rental rate for rate less discount, if for standby use the standby multiplier shown and multiply the discount rental rate for discounted standby rate. If greater than single shift multiply that figure by double or triple shift rate. Now figure mileage to your job from our address (click on this link to use yahoo maps) Insert 1413 Pennsylvania Ave. St. Louis MO, 63133 as the first address and your job address as the 2nd address. Get the mileage now double as we are calculating a round trip. Now times by our mileage rate shown above. Now multiply by current fuel surcharge rate (click this link to see current fuel surcharge rate use column LTL). If we are leaving unit** (more than a couple hour rental) you will double again and this will include both delivery and pickup. Last but not least figure in fuel costs used in the machine. Take estimated hours and multiply by hourly fuel consumption (per manufacturer’s specs at full load, 60 KW 5 GPH, 80KW 6.6 GPH, 175KW 12.6 GPH, 200KW 17 GPH, Deduct using a percentage if unit will not be at full load) this will give you your gallons used now multiply by price per gallon of diesel fuel.

So in a formula: rental rate X discount multiplier if applicable X standby rate multiplier if applicable X shift rate multiplier if applicable = RENTAL RATE + RENTAL RATE X .02 environmental fee + (mileage round trip x mileage rate x 1.fuel surcharge %) x2 if we are leaving unit and picking up on a different date + (estimated hours x hourly fuel consumption x current price of diesel per gallon) = total rental cost

** If customer estimates the job may be accomplished in just a few hours, customer may opt to have our driver wait for the unit, and avoid the pickup freight charge. In these circumstances customer will be charged our listed labor rate (above) for all wait time. Please notify of this decision BEFORE unit is delivered so our man can be scheduled accordingly.

If you would like to order a unit and have it reserved for your date please call 314-721-6000, and have credit card information ready if you are not already set up as a charge customer. Cancellations made 7 days prior to delivery date will be refunded full amount less $250.00 or half the quoted total rental rate whichever is greater, Cancellations made within 7 days of the delivery date will be refunded full amount less $500.00 or the full total quoted rental rate whichever is greater.
