Industrial Power. Planned, Supplied and Supported by Shordee.
When power is essential to your operation, choosing a generator is only the beginning. Shordee Generators helps Saskatchewan businesses, contractors, municipalities and industrial operators build complete power systems around their load, site, fuel supply and operating requirements.
From standby power for a commercial building to prime power for a remote operation, our team can help with generator sizing, equipment selection, transfer equipment, installation coordination, commissioning, monitoring and ongoing service.
Your Industrial Power Partner
Industrial generator systems are not one-size-fits-all. The right solution depends on what must stay running, how loads start and change, how often the system will operate, the available fuel supply, site conditions, electrical requirements and applicable project specifications.
Shordee brings those decisions together. We work with clients and project teams to understand the application, select the right equipment and support the complete system from early planning through long-term maintenance.

Industrial Generator Solutions Built Around the Application
Start with how the power will be used. Shordee can help determine whether your project requires standby, prime or mobile power and identify the generator rating, fuel type, electrical configuration, enclosure, controls and transfer equipment that fit the application.
Standby Generator Systems
Standby generators provide backup power when the normal utility supply is interrupted. When paired with an automatic transfer switch, the system detects an outage, starts the generator and transfers the connected load automatically.
Standby power is commonly used for commercial buildings, healthcare and care facilities, municipal buildings, water and wastewater infrastructure, agricultural operations, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, telecommunications and other sites where an outage can disrupt safety, service or production.
Prime-Power Generator Systems
Prime-power generators provide the main source of power where utility service is unavailable, unreliable or not suitable for the operation. These systems are selected for longer operating periods and changing loads, making correct sizing and application planning especially important.
Prime power is commonly used for remote industrial sites, oil and gas operations, mining and exploration, off-grid facilities, construction projects, temporary operations and certain agricultural or processing applications.
Mobile and Towable Generators
Mobile and towable generators provide flexible industrial power for temporary work, changing locations and emergency response. Shordee can help match the generator to the required output, voltage, phase, runtime, noise requirements, towing needs and site conditions.
Common applications include construction, equipment service, planned shutdowns, emergency response, temporary facilities and remote projects.
Diesel, Natural Gas or Propane?
There is no single best fuel for every industrial generator. The right choice depends on the application, generator size, expected runtime, fuel availability, local infrastructure, storage requirements, maintenance strategy and project specifications. Shordee can help compare the practical trade-offs for your site.
Diesel Generators
Diesel generators are widely used for demanding standby and prime-power applications. They offer strong power density, established industrial technology and an on-site fuel supply. Diesel may be well suited to remote sites, larger loads and operations that require fuel independence, but fuel storage, maintenance and expected runtime must be considered.
Natural Gas Generators
Natural gas generators can be a practical choice where a dependable gas service is available. They remove the need to store large quantities of diesel on site and are commonly considered for commercial, institutional and urban standby applications. Available gas pressure and volume must be confirmed during system planning.
Propane Generators
Propane can provide a stored gaseous-fuel option where natural gas is unavailable. Tank capacity, refill access, expected runtime and cold-weather performance all need to be considered when planning the system.
Reliable Power for Critical Operations
Shordee supports generator projects across a wide range of commercial, institutional, agricultural and industrial environments. Each application has different loads, operating priorities, site conditions and compliance requirements, so the system should be planned around the operation—not selected from output alone.

WINCO
WINCO offers a diverse generator range that includes commercial standby, diesel standby, prime power, mobile, portable and PTO-driven equipment. The range is especially useful for commercial, agricultural, contractor and flexible field-power applications.
More Than a Generator Sale
A reliable generator system includes more than the generator itself. Shordee can support the decisions, equipment and service required to keep the complete system ready to perform.
System Planning and Sizing
We begin with the operation: what must remain powered, how loads start, which equipment can run together and how the system will be used. This helps establish an appropriate generator rating and identifies issues such as motor starting, load steps, future expansion and operating priorities.
Equipment Selection and Specification
Shordee helps select the generator, fuel system, enclosure, controls and related equipment that fit the project. We can work with owners, contractors, consultants and engineers to support the specification and quoting process.
Transfer Equipment and Controls
Automatic transfer switches, manual transfer equipment, generator controls and monitoring systems determine how power is transferred, managed and observed. Shordee can help identify the equipment needed for a coordinated system.
Installation Coordination and Commissioning
We can support installation planning and coordinate with the project’s electrical, mechanical and construction teams. Commissioning confirms that the generator and connected system are configured, tested and ready for operation.
Monitoring, Maintenance and Repair
Ongoing inspection, testing and maintenance help keep a generator ready before the next outage or operating cycle. Shordee provides preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, parts support and monitoring options for industrial generator systems.
