Dubai Industrial City is where real things get made. Food gets packaged, medicines get produced, furniture gets built, clothes get manufactured — all inside one of the UAE’s largest dedicated manufacturing zones. Every single factory and workshop in DIC runs on electricity. And when that electricity stops — even for an hour — production stops, deadlines get missed, and money gets lost.
Hiko Generator Rental makes sure that never happens to you. We supply generators to businesses of all sizes across Dubai Industrial City — from small workshops just getting started to large manufacturing plants running full shifts. Simple pricing, fast delivery, and a support team that actually picks up the phone.
Dubai Industrial City was designed with one purpose in mind — to give manufacturers, producers, and industrial businesses a proper home in Dubai. The city is divided into different clusters based on what businesses make:
Each of these industries has different power needs. A food packaging line needs clean, stable electricity that does not flicker. A pharmaceutical plant cannot have even a one-second power gap without risking product quality. A printing press needs consistent voltage or the output gets ruined. A metal fabrication shop needs high-load capacity for welding machines and heavy equipment.
This variety is what makes DIC interesting — and it is exactly why we do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution. We talk to you, understand what your factory or business actually does, and then match you with the right generator for your specific operation. Not the biggest one we have. The right one.
Diesel is the backbone of industrial power in Dubai. It is reliable, fuel is easy to get, and a good diesel generator can run for a very long time without any major problems. For factories in Dubai Industrial City that need a backup power source — or a temporary primary power source during a new facility setup — a diesel generator is almost always the right answer.
We stock diesel generators from 20 KVA to 2000 KVA. Small enough for a startup workshop that just needs lights and a few machines running. Large enough for a full-scale production plant running multiple shifts around the clock. All units come from brands that are proven in the UAE market — FG Wilson, Volvo Penta, Cummins, and Perkins.
Dubai Industrial City is not just factories. There are office blocks, management buildings, and shared facilities spread across the city. Some businesses also operate in areas close to staff accommodation or residential zones nearby.
For these situations, a loud diesel generator running outside is a real problem. Our silent generators in DIC produce the same amount of power but at a much lower noise level. Staff can work comfortably, neighbours are not disturbed, and your operation looks professional. Silent generator hire is one of the most common requests we get from businesses in the commercial and administrative parts of Dubai Industrial City.
Here is something a lot of DIC business owners do not know — a hybrid generator can cut your monthly fuel bill by a significant amount. How? Because the battery inside the hybrid system takes over during light load periods. The diesel engine only runs when the load is high enough to actually need it. The rest of the time, the battery handles it quietly and efficiently.
For factories in Dubai Industrial City that run long shifts — or for businesses using a generator as their main power source during a new facility setup — the fuel savings over a few months can be very meaningful. We have had clients in DIC switch from a standard diesel unit to a hybrid and cut their fuel costs by 25 to 35 percent on longer projects.
One situation that comes up a lot in Dubai Industrial City is this — a business has signed a lease on a new factory unit but the permanent electricity connection from DEWA is not ready yet. This can take weeks or even months. During that time, the business cannot do anything. Machines cannot be installed. Staff cannot work. Money is being wasted on a facility that is sitting empty.
We solve this exact problem. Hiko supplies temporary power for new factory setups in Dubai Industrial City while you wait for your permanent DEWA connection. We bring a generator, connect it properly, and you can start fitting out your factory and getting operations ready from day one. The moment your permanent supply is connected, we collect the generator — it is that simple.
Some businesses in DIC already own a generator but do not have the team or the time to service and maintain it properly. Others rent a generator from us on a long-term basis and want the complete peace of mind package.
For both situations we offer an Annual Maintenance Contract — or AMC. This covers all scheduled servicing, oil and filter changes, battery checks, load testing, and priority emergency callouts for a fixed annual fee. You know exactly what you are paying. No surprise repair bills. No scrambling to find a technician when something goes wrong at 2am.










This is the most common question we get. And the honest answer is — it depends on what you are running. Here is a simple guide for common Dubai Industrial City operations:
| Business Type | Recommended Generator Size |
|---|---|
| Small workshop or startup unit | 20 – 50 KVA |
| Garment or textile factory | 50 – 150 KVA |
| Food packaging or processing unit | 100 – 300 KVA |
| Pharmaceutical or chemical plant | 200 – 500 KVA |
| Metal fabrication or machinery plant | 300 – 750 KVA |
| Large multi-shift manufacturing facility | 750 KVA – 2000 KVA |
These are starting points — not exact numbers. The actual size depends on your connected machinery, your peak load, and whether you need the generator as a backup or as your primary power source.
We always recommend a free site visit before confirming any order. Our engineer comes to your DIC facility, looks at your electrical panel and machinery list, and calculates your actual load. This takes about an hour and it is completely free. It means you never end up with a generator that is too small to handle your load — or paying for a unit that is much bigger than you actually need.
People sometimes look at the monthly cost of a generator rental and think — is this really worth it? Here is a way to think about it.
Imagine you run a food packaging line in Dubai Industrial City. Your line produces 500 units an hour. A power cut stops your line for three hours. That is 1,500 units not produced. If you are on a tight delivery schedule, you either miss the deadline — which damages your relationship with the buyer — or you pay overtime to make up the lost production. Either way, the cost is far higher than a monthly generator rental.
Now imagine the same thing happens in a pharmaceutical plant. A power cut during a production batch does not just mean lost production — it can mean the entire batch has to be thrown away if temperature or conditions were compromised. The cost of one ruined batch can easily be more than a year’s worth of generator rental.
A generator rental from Hiko is not an expense. It is insurance for your production. And unlike most insurance, it actually pays out every single time it is needed.
We work with a lot of generator rental companies in Dubai. Here is the feedback we hear most often from clients who switched to us from a competitor:
We give you a clear price upfront. What we quote is what you pay. We do not add surprise delivery charges, fuel surcharges, or maintenance fees that were not mentioned at the start.
This sounds obvious but it is not always the case. Every generator in our fleet is serviced before it goes to site. We do not send out a unit that has been sitting idle for six months without a check.
When something goes wrong at your factory at night or on a weekend, you need a real person to answer and send help — not a voicemail. Our support line is staffed 24 hours a day by people who can actually solve generator problems, not just take a message.
DIC is a manufacturing zone. We understand production schedules, shift patterns, and what downtime actually costs a factory. We do not treat your generator the same way we would treat a generator for a weekend event. We know your business depends on it.
Ready to sort out your power backup in Dubai Industrial City? Getting a quote from Hiko takes five minutes. Tell us what your business does, roughly how much power you need, and how long you need the generator. We will come back to you with a clear, honest price — and if you want, we will come to your DIC site first and check your load for free before recommending anything.
No pressure. No complicated contracts. Just reliable power at a fair price.
