Equipment hire specialist Redmyle expands its temporary power fleet with Cat EU Stage V generator sets supplied by Finning UK & Ireland.
Equipment hire specialist Redmyle has expanded its nationwide temporary power fleet through a major deal with Finning UK & Ireland. The investment introduces Caterpillar EU Stage V generator sets—specifically the Cat XQP20, XQP60, and XQP115 models—into the hire firm's rental inventory under a comprehensive supply and support agreement.
Redmyle, which operates distribution hubs in Glasgow and across the UK, delivers temporary power, pumping, and climate-control solutions to commercial and industrial sites. Upgrading to EU Stage V compliant generators aligns the company with modern lower-emission requirements, reducing nitrogen oxides and particulate matter on site.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For local sole traders and small DIY jobs, this announcement will not change off-the-shelf tool prices at retail counters like Screwfix or Toolstation. However, for site managers, commercial electricians, and sub-contractors hiring temporary power units, it shifts the benchmark for site compliance. Hiring Stage V Cat sets through national fleets like Redmyle ensures strict compliance with urban low-emission zones and modern environmental tender requirements. Contractors looking to rent generators should ensure their hire partners provide modern Stage V units, as older equipment may face restrictions or penalties on controlled UK development sites.
The deal includes long-term support from Finning, Caterpillar's dealer in the UK and Ireland. This backing ensures regular servicing and rapid parts availability, minimising potential downtime on site when powering temporary site huts, heavy-duty pumps, or distribution boards.
