The film industry in Auckland runs on reliability, and that’s exactly what Max’s Hire delivers. From small shoots to full-scale productions, we supply silent, fuel-efficient generators and complete distribution setups to keep cameras rolling and crews powered up without noise
interruptions. Our ultra-silent trailer-mounted diesel generator (60kVA) and Honda inverter generators (2.2kVA, 3.2kVA, 7kVA) are trusted across film sets for their low noise, clean power, and reliability. Whether you need a single Honda unit for lights or a full trailer generator for a unit base, we’ve got the gear, the cables, and the crew to make it seamless.
