A generator serves a simple purpose - to provide electrical power to workers and event managers where electricity isn't readily available.

Generators Allow Jobsites to Run More Efficiently

A generator serves a simple purpose - to provide electrical power to workers and event managers where electricity isn't readily available. Generators allow workers to use powerful electrical tools in the middle of the woods. They permit carnival operators to power large-scale rides in the middle of a field - without the worry of drawing too much power from local buildings. Most importantly, they can provide emergency electrical services during times of natural disaster, global strife, or inclement weather. Generators work by converting energy generated by an internal combustion engine to electrical output. Usually, the bigger the engine the more electrical power is generated.

The Generator Field is Supported by Several Major Manufacturers

For those looking for a high-output unit that is still easily trailerable from site to site, the Caterpillar 100kW model is a terrific intermediate unit. Still a big, heavy generator, this is definitely designed for commercial or large event use as it puts out a max of 100,000 watts of electricity. With CAT diesel power, the ability to custom configure options, and a reputation for reliability and low operating costs, CAT diesel generators are class leaders.

The Multiquip DCA85 generator delivers between 50-89 kW of electricity and is easily trailerable by most light-duty vehicles. Multiquip has cornered a large share of the portable generator market due to the terrific value they represent. The DCA85m model is a fully enclosed unit powered by a John Deere, turbocharged diesel motor. Most of these units offer sound attenuation packages for quiet running and a control panel with a full complement of gauges to keep track of output, fuel level, engine temperature, and a host of other important measurements.

Kohler is another terrific maker of generators and offers a variety of units. Their fixed platform generators are extremely popular among those who seek an uninterrupted power supply to their homes or buildings. Many units offer 100kW or greater, and are built to immediately come to life should an interruption in power occur. With natural disaster, weather-related issues, and the constant threat of power outages due to our overloaded electrical grid, having a standby generator makes a lot of sense.
