Product description

The 8 kVA Generator is a practical option for small sites, trade work, and backup power where portability matters as much as output. Petrol powered with electric start, it delivers standby output up to 8 kVA for tools, lighting, and light equipment without a mains connection. Its compact, lightweight build makes it easy to load, transport, and set up on site, and the electric start means no manual pull-starting in the field. It suits short-term hire for trade jobs, events, and stand-by power where a larger unit isn't needed. Make, model and specifications may vary. Stocked models include but are not limited to those pictured.

Pair your Diesel Generator with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and Solar Platform to reduce fuel use, emissions, and site noise. The BESS stores power generated by the diesel unit and solar input, so the generator can run less while still meeting site demand.
