BRS also secures portable generator sets if you require power for your application. Trailer mounted units up to 350HP have oil storage tanks on board. Those units require the tank to be filled after the trailer is blocked and leveled. All oil MUST be removed prior to return of rental boiler. Units larger than 350HP will require a separate oil tank to be provided and filled. Many times a local fuel supplier can provide this tank at little or no charge when purchasing oil. An oil transfer pump may be required depending on the location of the oil tank. The trailer power requirements are 240/460 Vac, three phase and 120 Vac, control. Note that some units have separate control power transformers and do not require 120 VAC power. If power is not available, portable generator sets can be provided.
