Nationwide Availability: Thanks to multiple branches, Talisman can provide reliable power solutions even in remote regions that often face the brunt of load-shedding or limited grid access.
Talisman offers a wide range of generators tailored to diverse needs:
By Power Output
From 6.5 kVA (suitable for smaller sites or office backup) to 600 kVA (capable of powering large-scale industrial operations).
By Noise Control
Silent Generators designed for events or noise-sensitive environments (e.g., hospitals, schools, residential areas), reducing disruptive sound levels.
By Operational Mode
Automatic Switchover (AMF) Panels: Automatically detect power outages and switch to generator power, minimizing downtime.
Static Generators: Typically installed in a fixed location for long-term or permanent power needs.
Trailer-Mounted Generators: Offer portability for construction sites, event setups, and any scenario requiring mobile power.
This broad selection ensures clients can match their exact energy needs, whether short-term or long-term, stationary or on-the-go.
Through a collaborative partnership with Genlight, Talisman delivers comprehensive power and lighting solutions. Key offerings include:
Lighting Towers: Providing strong, targeted illumination for construction sites, event venues, or nighttime operations, improving both safety and visibility.
LED Lights: Energy-efficient options suitable for warehouses, industrial plants, or outdoor gatherings requiring bright, reliable illumination.
Electrical Accessories: Extension cables and distribution boards that streamline power distribution, reduce voltage drops, and simplify on-site wiring configurations.
These complementary products let businesses bundle their generator needs with essential lighting and electrical accessories, ensuring an all-in-one solution.
Talisman’s rental model is designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating different durations and project scales:
Short-Term Rentals
Ideal for events (concerts, weddings, festivals) or temporary power requirements during maintenance, outages, or site expansions.
Long-Term Rentals
Suited for ongoing industrial or commercial operations where consistent backup power is essential over months or years.
Competitive Pricing is available for daily, weekly, or monthly rentals, and optional accessories - such as diesel tanks (500–1,000 litres) and cables - ensure a turnkey experience. Talisman maintains a large fleet of generators, enabling quick delivery, setup, and hassle-free support.
Talisman offers end-to-end maintenance and repair services, covering both rented units and customer-owned generators:
On-Site Repairs
Skilled technicians are dispatched to client locations for immediate troubleshooting, reducing downtime in mission-critical scenarios.

Construction Sites: Both portable and static units power heavy-duty machinery, tools, and site lighting.
Emergency Backup: Healthcare facilities, data centres, and similar operations rely on generators to protect vital systems during unexpected outages.
With Zambia’s frequent load-shedding, these solutions are particularly valuable for businesses seeking to protect revenue streams and maintain continuity.
Automatic Switchover (AMF) Panels are control units that monitor grid power and:
Detect Outages: Instantly sense when mains electricity fails.
Activate Generators: Automatically switch to generator power without human intervention, significantly reducing downtime.
Ensure Seamless Transition: Eliminate operational hiccups, preventing damage to sensitive equipment or data loss in key systems.
AMF panels are crucial for any site where continuous operations are essential, from factories handling perishable goods to mission-critical infrastructure like telecommunications networks.
Several factors position Talisman as a trusted provider in the region:

Distribution Boards: Simplify load management by regulating power flow to multiple devices or workstations.
These accessories ensure customizable setups and smooth, uninterrupted operations even in challenging conditions.
When selecting a generator rental, businesses should evaluate:
Power Requirements: Determine the kVA rating based on equipment load.
Rental Duration: Decide between short-term (events, temporary maintenance) or long-term (ongoing industrial use) rental.
Site Conditions: Account for noise restrictions, available space, and ease of equipment movement.
Equipment Add-Ons: Confirm the need for extra cables, diesel tanks, or distribution boards to optimize power flow.
A thorough assessment ensures the right fit - both technically and financially - for each unique project or setting.
