Trailer Mounted 50kVA Mobile Diesel Generator for Event Power

Bespoke Road Towable Generator for Festivals and Productions

Target Power supplied a custom-built 50kVA trailer mounted generator to Soapy Productions and Events, a UK-based company specialising in festivals, live shows, and stage events. The client required a fully mobile diesel generator that was sync-capable, remotely monitored, and quiet enough to be used near large crowds and performance areas.

The solution was a Ferbo FE50-P diesel generator, mounted on a single axle Knott trailer, with various upgrades to match the specific power and mobility needs for event applications. This road towable generator was designed to be robust, reliable, and easy to transport between venues.

Project Details: Event-Ready Mobile Generator Solution

Client: Soapy Productions and Events

Product Supplied:

    • Ferbo FE50P 50kVA diesel generator, with a Perkins diesel engine

    • Single axle trailer mounting

    • Upgraded canopy with 64dBA noise rating

    • DSE890 remote monitoring module + SIM for rural connectivity

    • C4 corrosion-resistant coating for outdoor use

Generator Application: Powering Outdoor Events & Festivals

This portable diesel generator is being used to power:

  • Live music stages

  • Outdoor festival infrastructure

Its trailer-mounted design allows the generator to be easily transported across the UK to support both indoor and outdoor events. Looking for a trailer-mounted diesel generator? Check out our range of road towable generators here. 

Challenges Overcome: Size, Noise, and Mobility Requirements

Initially, the customer requested a 60kVA generator, but due to trailer limitations, this would have required a much larger canopy and twin-axle trailer. After consultation, we proposed a 50kVA sync-capable alternative, which offered:

  • Full compatibility with a single axle trailer

  • Sync capability for future expansion (client plans to purchase a second unit)

  • Lower canopy dimensions without compromising on power output

  • A bespoke low-noise canopy, reducing operational noise to 64 dBA @ 7m

This approach met both space and mobility constraints while ensuring compliance with event noise regulations.

Why the FE50P1-SX Generator Was Selected

  • Mobile & Road Towable: Mounted on a rugged trailer base, ideal for event professionals

  • Quiet Operation: Essential for use near performance spaces and guests

  • Remote Monitoring: DSE890 module enables live tracking and alerts via SIM in rural event locations

  • Durable Design: Featuring C4-rated corrosion protection for frequent outdoor use

  • Sync Capability: Prepped for parallel operation with a second generator in the future

Services Provided: A Fully Tailored Mobile Power Solution

Target Power provided a turnkey solution, including:

  • Custom generator specification and sourcing from Ferbo

  • Mounting to a road-legal trailer with a single axle

  • Bespoke noise reduction upgrades

  • C4 canopy coating for long-term protection

  • Integration of remote monitoring system

  • Coordination of delivery and customer support throughout
