🥊 The Contenders
| Model | Energy/mo | CO₂/mo |
|---|---|---|
| Genset Perkins 403D-11G | 624 L | 1.64 t |
| Hybrid Atlas Copco HiLight BI+ | 240 L | 0.63 t |
| Battery OmniHub TL-500 | 103 kWh | 0.06 t |
💰 Total Monthly Cost
| Technology | Rental | OPEX | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | SAR 3,000 | SAR 1,036 | SAR 4,036 |
| Hybrid | SAR 4,500+ | SAR 398 | SAR 4,898+ |

| Battery (12-Mo) | SAR 2,000 | SAR 31 | SAR 2,031 |
🏆 The Verdict Is Clear
The TL-500 isn’t just an alternative; it’s a financial and operational upgrade. It delivers a ~50% reduction in total monthly cost while eliminating fuel logistics, engine maintenance, noise, and spill liability.
The Full Comparison
A breakdown of the operational realities that data tables don’t always show.
Mobilization
Diesel & Hybrid: 1,400 kg mast requires crane/forklift hire (≥ 1,000 SAR per move).
Battery Upgrade: 52 kg unit; six fit in a standard pickup, cutting transport & setup costs by over 50%.
Maintenance & Downtime
Diesel: Requires full servicing (oil, filters, belts) every 450–500 hours.
Battery Upgrade: No engine. No servicing. Firmware updates only. This means near-zero mechanical downtime.
