Contractor
Most contractors want a heavy duty generator at a construction jobsite for use with power tools, temporary lighting, and equipment. A worksite might need a generator that runs 40 to 50 hours a week or more.
Heavy Duty Generator
Whether it runs on diesel, gasoline, or propane, a heavy duty generator stands up to the rigors of a jobsite. It loads and unloads from a truck with a crane, hoist, or forklift and comes equipped with a hook, bar, or forklift slots. The fuel tank holds enough fuel for at least one shift.
Not just a generator for power tools, the construction generator provides all the power for the jobsite to run temporary lighting, equipment, chargers for battery tools and electronics including laptops or the office trailer air conditioning and computers.
Construction Generator
A construction generator adapts to the electrical load as needed and should idle down when not used to save fuel and reduce noise. Throughout the day, it keeps multiple tradespeople supplied with power for tools ranging from table saws and compressors to cut off tools. The load can change suddenly and the generator powers everything without a hitch.
Construction sites are notoriously dusty, dirty places and the jobsite generator must work in those conditions. Worksite conditions make on-time maintenance a must. For portable generators that run 8-10 hours per day, five or six days a week, that translates into an oil change and air filter change or cleaning for the work generator at the end of every week.
Jobsite Generator
The day starts by filling the jobsite generator with fuel and checking the oil, topping it off if necessary. After startup and a minute to warm up, the generator is ready to begin work. A low idle option allows the generator to idle when no one is using power, and power up when someone uses a power tool or piece of electric equipment.
Another important work generator feature, low oil shutdown, prevents engine damage if the oil level drops too low. An LED or other alert indicator may show the issue. Daily maintenance checks avoid this condition. It’s also important to use generator cords or extension cords made to handle the number of amps they will carry. Don’t use small gauge cords or cords without abrasion resistant sheaths.
