No job too big for our team at Mid Florida Diesel! We recently installed a 250kW generator, 1000 AMP ATS and a 1000 AMP Tristar Docking Station for the City of Haines City – Lake Eva Project. This generator came with a John Deere Engine, a Marathon Alternator and a Level III – Legacy – Sound Attenuated Enclosure. The generator came with a 72 Hour / 1620 Gallon UL142 Listed Sub-Base Fuel Tank. The install would not allow for a crane so a Variable Reach forklift was used. Because Mid Florida Diesel excels in rigging, this intricate installation was pulled off without incident by our team! Huge shout out to Josh Little, Foreman – Team Lead!! We appreciate the City of Haines City for your continued trust and business!

Power outages have many causes, including extreme weather, utility failures, equipment problems, and increasing demand on the electrical grid.
