The Challenge
Late on a Friday afternoon, Manchester Airport faced an urgent requirement for backup power. With minimal notice, they needed a dependable generator that could be tested, prepared, and dispatched the very same day. Time was critical—failure to act quickly was not an option.
When Manchester Airport faced an urgent demand for reliable backup power, FW Power responded quickly with a trailer-mounted diesel generator solution. Our team delivered, installed, and commissioned the generator to ensure critical operations could continue without disruption. This project highlights FW Power’s expertise in providing fast, dependable power solutions for high-pressure environments across the UK.

The unit supplied was a 50 kVA Baudouin-powered FW Power generator, fitted with a Deep Sea 7320 controller for advanced monitoring and control, and paired with a DEFRA-compliant fuel tank to ensure environmental compliance. This combination delivered both reliability and regulatory assurance.
