Frequently Asked Questions:
Everything you need to know before your next project.
-
Shellby Power designs, manufactures, and supports power solutions for industrial and remote applications. This includes diesel, gas, and hybrid generator systems, solar-integrated solutions, and bespoke engineered packages.
We also offer a range of off-the-shelf rental generator units for short-term or project-based power requirements.
In short, we provide reliable power solutions whether it is a custom build or a ready-to-go rental.
-
While we specialise in custom-built power solutions tailored to site and operational requirements, it’s not the only thing we offer.
We have also delivered a range of engineered electrical and hydraulic solutions, including custom switchboards, hydraulic power units (HPUs), control systems, and integrated skid-mounted packages for industrial applications.
In addition, we supply a comprehensive range of spare parts to support both our own systems and existing client infrastructure. This ensures ongoing reliability, minimises downtime, and allows clients to maintain critical equipment with confidence. Our team can source, specify, and supply components aligned with operational requirements, providing a complete lifecycle solution rather than just a one-off build.
-
Shellby Power is based in Brisbane, Queensland, with our primary HQ & manufacturing facility located in Archerfield. From here, our branches support projects across Australia and select international locations.
-
We work extensively across mining, oil and gas, and remote infrastructure sectors, where power reliability, durability, and autonomous operation are critical.
Our capabilities, however, are not limited to these industries. We also support a wider range of sectors requiring dependable, engineered power, electrical, and hydraulic solutions, applying the same practical, performance-driven approach across all applications.
-
Yes! While we are Queensland-based, we deliver and support systems across Australia and, where required, internationally.
-
Our systems are designed and manufactured in Australia at our Brisbane facility. This gives us full control over engineering, fabrication, and quality from start to finish.
We focus on practical, field-proven solutions built for real operating conditions across Australia. Every system is engineered for reliability and long-term performance, not just supply and install.
-
Yes. We design and integrate hybrid systems that combine traditional generation with renewable energy sources such as solar, alongside battery energy storage systems (BESS).
These systems are used to improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, enhance system resilience, and support energy storage and load management across a range of operating conditions.
-
A significant portion of our systems are designed, fabricated, and assembled in-house at our Brisbane facility. This includes custom generator packages, switchboards, hydraulic power units, and control systems, allowing us to maintain quality control throughout the build process.
-
Shellby Power operates under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 management systems.
Where applicable, we can design and deliver systems that meet Type B gas device certification requirements for industrial gas-fuelled equipment. This involves third-party verification and certification by an accredited Type B certifier in accordance with relevant Australian gas safety regulations.
All projects are designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable Australian Standards and regulatory requirements. Compliance documentation can be supplied as part of project delivery, including test records, commissioning reports, and as-built documentation depending on project scope.
-
We work across a range from approximately 7 kW through to 3,000 kW. System design is always tailored to project requirements rather than fixed product sizes.
-
Yes. We provide end-to-end support including design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and ongoing servicing. Our involvement can be tailored depending on your project needs.
-
Yes. In addition to new builds, we provide servicing, repairs, upgrades, overhauls, and system integration for existing installations.
-
Shellby Power has been operating since 2003, giving us over two decades of experience in industrial power generation and hydraulic systems. More information can be found on our About Us page.
-
Reliability is built into every stage of the process, from engineering design and component selection through to assembly, testing, and commissioning. We apply strict quality control measures across each phase, including verification of materials and components, in-house inspection, functional testing, and documentation traceability.
Systems are built and validated against real-world operating conditions, including remote sites, continuous duty applications, and high load demands. This approach ensures consistent performance, compliance with project requirements, and confidence that each system will operate as intended in the field.
-
Yes. We can provide temporary, standby, and emergency power solutions depending on project requirements and availability.
