Rehlko Generators for Transportation

Backup Power That Keeps Transportation Safe and Moving

Transportation systems can’t stop when the power goes out. From airports and transit hubs to maintenance installations, steady power supports safe operations and helps keep people moving.

Rehlko generators for transportation support energy security and help preserve transport infrastructure, with solutions aligned to facility specifications. Bay City Electric Works provides full lifecycle support for Rehlko™ (formerly Kohler Energy) generator systems across California, Nevada, and Hawaii.

What Is Rehlko Generator Support for Transportation?

Rehlko generator support for transportation is the planning, installation, service, and maintenance of standby power systems that keep essential loads running when utility power is interrupted

 

Rehlko explains why this matters in transport. Passenger volume is increasing, and airport operations must be efficient and continuous. Electricity is crucial when aircraft are landing, especially in reduced visibility or difficult weather conditions. Rehlko also notes that power cuts can result from adverse weather, faulty cables and equipment, or pre-scheduled maintenance, and that action can be taken to prevent them.

 

At Bay City Electric Works, we take a prevention-first approach. We help define critical loads, align Rehlko generators for transportation with site specifications, and keep systems ready through generator installation and integration, preventive maintenance and service, and automatic transfer switch.

Transportation Loads That Cannot Wait

Transportation sites vary, but the needs repeat across many facilities:

  • Airports and aviation operations: Electricity is crucial when aircraft are landing, especially during reduced visibility or difficult weather conditions.
  • Maintenance installations: Rehlko calls out maintenance sites serving trains, subways, aircraft, and buses that need energy for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and safety systems.

Standby planning often comes down to three questions:

  1. What loads must stay online for safety and continuity?
  2. How fast do they need power after an outage?
  3. How do we keep the system ready year-round?

Core Components of Our Rehlko Transportation Generator Service

BCEW supports transportation customers through the full generator lifecycle. We focus on four pillars: design, installation, service, and maintenance, then scale the scope to match your site and staffing needs.

Facility assessment and critical load planning

We document the loads that must remain powered to support safe operations and continuity. This keeps planning clear and reduces surprises during a utility event.

System design and electrical integration support

Rehlko emphasizes solutions aligned with client specifications and preserving transport infrastructure. We translate those priorities into an installable system that fits your electrical distribution and operating plan, including coordination with power distribution, switchgear, and transfer switch (ATS) integration.

Installation and startup support

We coordinate installation and integration so the generator system works with your facility and operating schedule.

Preventive maintenance and readiness programs

Preventive maintenance helps reduce surprise failures and supports long-term readiness. BCEW provides preventive maintenance programs supported by factory-certified technicians.

Testing and operational verification

Regular testing helps confirm the system starts and transfers reliably. Where appropriate, BCEW can include load bank testing as part of readiness verification.

24/7 emergency service and repair

When a fault threatens readiness, BCEW provides 24/7 emergency service support across CA, NV, and HI.

Design Considerations for Transport Standby Power

Transportation sites often need standby power that supports both life safety and operational continuity. Rehlko frames transport power around energy security and preserving transport infrastructure, with solutions aligned to client specifications.

A practical starting point is a clear list of priority loads, such as:

  • Lighting and safety systems
  • Operations and maintenance areas that rely on HVAC, lighting, and building services
  • Continuity during reduced visibility or difficult weather, when airport operations depend on steady electricity

BCEW helps map those priorities to a standby strategy, starting with an electrical reliability assessment and continuing through transfer switch installation, ensuring critical loads receive power quickly and predictably.

Service and Maintenance That Support Readiness

Rehlko points to adverse weather, faulty cables and equipment, and pre-scheduled maintenance as real-world conditions that can lead to power cuts. A preventive maintenance program helps reduce surprises and supports readiness.

 

A readiness-focused approach typically includes:

  • Routine visual inspections and functional checks
  • Battery and starting system checks
  • Periodic operational runs and documented results
  • Load testing when appropriate to confirm real performance

If you plan shutdown windows for facility work, BCEW can coordinate service timing so your standby system is not the weak link during planned operations.

Why Reliable Service Matters in Transportation

Rehlko states that safe and reliable service is fundamental in the transport industry as passenger volume increases and airport operations must remain efficient and continuous. Electricity becomes even more critical when aircraft are landing, especially in reduced visibility or difficult weather conditions.

 

Power disruptions in transportation don’t just affect comfort. They can disrupt airfield operations, delay service, and create operational bottlenecks across multiple systems that depend on steady power. For additional context on why resilient electrical power matters at airports, see the U.S. GAO’s review of airport electrical power disruptions and resilience efforts.

 

Reliable generator service helps transportation operators:

  • Reduce outage risk during grid events and bad weather
  • Support safe, continuous operations when disruption is not an option
  • Control lifecycle costs with planned maintenance instead of reactive repairs
  • Improve readiness during planned maintenance and shutdown windows

To keep systems ready, BCEW supports transportation sites with 24/7 emergency generator service, load bank testing, and generator parts support.
