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.

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.

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
