Generators & Portable Power Stations

Generators & Portable Power Stations

Perfectly suited to powering caravans, catering trucks or heavy-duty construction equipment,  the portable generators in our range will allow you to generate high voltage electrical currents from any location. By choosing the right model, you can ensure that those hard-to-tackle jobs at the bottom of the garden will no longer require miles of extension cable, and that longer camping trips can be enjoyed without sacrificing access to basic amenities, like reliable heat or light.

Many of the larger generators in our range make for good backup arrays too, and provide enough power to keep all of your equipment running in the event of a power cut.

As you can see from the selection below, we’ve gone out of our way  to source a huge variety of options, from large, open framed diesel models right through to suitcase-sized petrol generators, designed for personal or domestic use.

Large petrol generators are mainly used for high-demand applications, like running heavy machinery, and are most commonly found on construction sites and the like. Sourced from leading manufacturers such as Briggs & Statton, the models in our range of petrol generators make good use of cutting-edge AVR technology to ensure that sensitive equipment, like computers and televisions, is never exposed to voltage spikes or fluctuations. A great many also feature rugged tube frames to insulate them from bumps and knocks, which makes them robust enough for use in almost any environment.

Smaller, suitcase-style generators are a lot quieter though, and make use of elaborate noise dampening systems to guarantee quiet running for hours on end. These products are most commonly used for camping trips or for powering smaller garden tools, although their incorporation of sine wave inverters and other voltage regulation technologies does mean that they can be used to power sensitive and fragile electronic equipment too.

This decade has seen a boom in portable power stations. The fierce competition has brought prices down with a feature list that keeps on growing.

The best portable power stations reduce the need for fuel-powered generators and have made huge strides since the first prototypes came out.

The recipe for a good power station is straightforward: a big battery capacity coupled with a high-power inverter forms the core. Add to this a few USB ports in all formats, a car adapter and finally, ways to charge the batteries with an eye on being fast. Everything of course has to be enclosed in a hard shell and the unit is good to go anywhere when the lights go out.
