Carter provides temporary power rental across Virginia, Maryland, and surrounding territory.Whether a facility is responding to an unexpected failure or executing a planned infrastructure project, Carter teams deploy rental power systems quickly, configure them correctly, and support them throughout the deployment.
Rental at Carter is not a drop-off service. It is a coordinated solution — generators, distribution equipment, fuel management, monitoring, and field support — built around what the facility actually needs.
What looks like a simple equipment request almost always involves questions the customer hasn't asked yet — about startup loads, connection points, fuel supply, and how a temporary system integrates with existing infrastructure.
Carter rental teams work through those questions at the first call. That's how the right equipment gets to the right site, configured correctly, the first time.
“A customer can say, ‘I need a 200kW at this voltage for three weeks.’ But there are a lot of other questions that have to be asked to do it well.” — Carter Power Rental Specialist
Utility outages, generator failures, and severe weather events don't wait for business hours. Carter rental teams are available around the clock — and the consultation that ensures the right equipment gets deployed happens at the first call, not after arrival.
Emergency Power: 800.835.1166Maintenance windows, equipment replacements, and upgrades all require a temporary power bridge. Carter teams coordinate timing, connections, and equipment so the work stays on schedule.
Plan Your Outage →Construction projects, commissioning activities, and seasonal demand increases create needs for power that permanent infrastructure doesn't yet — or may never — cover. Carter configures flexible rental systems that scale with the project.
Discuss Project Needs →A temporary power deployment often requires more than a generator set. Carter provides the full solution — distribution equipment, fuel management, transfer connections, monitoring, and field support — through a single point of contact.
Some customers handle their own integration and just need the right equipment delivered. Others need Carter on site from setup through teardown. Both are supported, and everything in between.
If the facility can't afford an interruption, Carter has probably been there. Hospitals, shipyards, data centers, utilities, manufacturing plants, concert venues — any operation built around a process that can't stop. The list keeps growing because the need is universal.
A regional utility required temporary generation during a multi-week infrastructure maintenance project. Carter coordinated generator sets, distribution equipment, auxiliary fuel storage, and on-site monitoring throughout the deployment.
Following an unexpected electrical failure, Carter deployed temporary generation and was operational before end of day.
Carter's rental customers return — consistently. The consultative model that gets the first deployment right is the same model that makes every deployment after it faster and easier. Carter teams already know the load, the connection points, the site.
For customers who find Carter in an emergency, that relationship starts at the first call.
Carter rental teams can source and deploy everything the project requires through a single point of contact — purpose-built for rental.
