Reliable Cooling When the Grid Fails

February 12, 2026

In Kenya, the agricultural sector is the heartbeat of the economy. From the vibrant flower farms of Naivasha to the avocado orchards of Murang'a, the journey from farm to fork - or farm to flight - is a race against time.

The biggest hurdle?

Maintaining an unbroken cold chain in an environment where grid power can be unreliable and transport routes often lead into remote, off-grid areas.

For reefer operators, a power outage is an inconvenience and it represents a significant risk to the cargo's integrity. Almar Kenya provides the mobile power solutions needed to keep your cargo chilled, regardless of the destination or the stability of the local grid.

Solving the Power Gap: Reefer Gensets.

A refrigerated container (reefer) is only as good as the power source keeping its compressors running. While reefers are designed to plug into the grid at ports or depots, they lose that lifeline the moment they hit the road or move to a rural site.

Almar Kenya offers Clip-on Reefer Gensets on a rental basis - a portable, diesel-powered solution designed to mount directly onto the container. These units act as a dedicated power plant for your reefer, ensuring that temperature-sensitive goods stay at their optimum set point from the moment they are loaded until they reach their final destination

Reliability for the Cold Chain.

Navigating the logistics of perishable cargo requires equipment as rugged as the Kenyan terrain. Our genset solutions support your cold chain by offering:

Total Flexibility: You are no longer tied to a specific location or electrical connection. Whether you are setting up temporary cold storage in a remote area or transporting horticulture to Mombasa, our gensets provide the freedom to operate anywhere.
Uncompromised Security: Our units provide 460v of continuous power. This consistent output is vital for sensitive cargo like pharmaceuticals or high-value flowers, where even a slight temperature fluctuation can lead to a rejected shipment.
The Industry’s Youngest Fleet: Reliability is at the core of our service. We maintain the youngest reefer genset fleet in the industry, featuring the Carrier RG 15 Power Line. These units are built with direct injection engines designed to handle rugged operating environments and long-haul journeys.

Technical Excellence Built for the Road.

Our primary rental unit, the Carrier RG 15 Clip-on Genset, is engineered for high performance and ease of use:

Efficiency for the Operator:

We understand that loading windows are tight. These units feature a pin-mounting bracket design that allows for attachment or disconnection in just minutes. Additionally, the in-air intake manifold heater ensures the engine starts reliably even during chilly early mornings in the highlands, keeping your operators in control.
