Generators, Compressors & Pressure Washers


Nineteenth-century British physicist and chemist Michael Faraday paved the way for our modern electricity-driven world. The famed inventor created the first electric generator, called the dynamo, as well as the first electric motor. Most of the time we take electricity for granted. We switch on lights, TVs or washing machines without stopping to think that the electrical energy we're using has to come from somewhere. But what if there is a power cut or you are working outdoors, in the middle of nowhere, and there's no electricity supply you can use to power your chainsaw or your electric drill? The answer is to use a portable electricity generator or power pack. These are ideal for the provision of a back up emergency power supply or for use in applications where no permanent power supply is available. There are many companies now producing innovative designs for these products. Portable generators and power packs are more compact, lighter and with minimum maintenance and low operating costs. Customers may wish to hire or buy this these products and there is a vast range of choice to suit every need. With continuing development and improvement it pays for the retailer to keep up with the latest in this product range.


Speedy’s New Generation – SDMO SDMO Energy, the UK division of the French generator manufacturing giant SDMO Industries have confirmed further order for a fleet of their brand new Rental Compact range of generators from Speedy, the UK provider of equipment rental and support services. Following on from Speedy’s initial order of thirty-two sets, this second order is for a total of fifty-three Rental Compact sets ranging from 20 to 90kVA each powered by a Tier 3/Stage III compliant John Deere or Mitsubishi diesel engine. The electricity is derived from the latest Leroy Somer alternator and the complete unit is governed by SDMO’s exclusive Nexys management system. The complete order is a mix of road trailer and skid mounted sets. Andy Connor, supply chain director at Speedy, said: “We carefully evaluated the current line of generators available on the market and we were impressed with the features and the environmental qualities of the SDMO Rental Compact range. These will bring real benefits to our customers in terms of lower emissions and fuel conservation”. The new SDMO Rental Compact range encompasses a power band between 16 and 500kVA and containerised rental solutions up to 2500kVA. The attractively designed canopies incorporate a high-level control panel, which is situated separately from the alternator, featuring all the necessary instrumentation for unrivalled control and management.

Each set is fitted with low level sockets, a hardwire facility with easy engine access through wide opening galvanised doors and thoughtfully added door retainer clips. Environmental issues, such a reduced noise pollution and diesel spillage has not been overlooked. These new rental generators have whisper- quiet sound levels and the long-run fuel tank is fully bunded, making these sets ideally suited for providing clean power for commercial use, during outside events and on construction sites, particularly in urban areas. Transportation and off- loading is made simple via the, nylon lined, fork access pockets inserted into the base.


Welding Specialist Chooses


Shindaiwa UK Site Welding of Brownhills, a specialist provider of coded welding repairs and fabrications, has recently taken delivery of a Shindaiwa ECO300UK welder generator from Wolverhampton based Shindaiwa Limited. UK Site Welding was established in 2008 by Steve Goalby who is now applying more than 30 years welding experience to offering a nationwide, fast response repair service, particularly to users of construction, mining and quarry plant. When Mr. Goalby took the decision to up-grade his equipment he took great pains to fully research the market in order to track down the most reliable and efficient welder generator. This research eventually led him to place an order for the Shindaiwa unit – a Japanese built machine new to the UK market. Commenting on his choice, Mr. Goalby said: “As I offer a round-the-clock service I am really fussy about equipment I buy and the Shindaiwa was the only welder generator set that offered all the bells and whistles I needed as well as my favoured Kubota engine.” The super-quiet 300 amp output ECO300UK unit chosen by Mr. Goalby for fitment inside his mobile workshop has an extra large capacity fuel tank able to provide up to three days use and features a 3-phase 415 v, 8 kVA supply for operating a wide variety of power equipment in addition to its standard, single- phase 110 v CTE, 3 kVA output.


In addition, this model is equipped with an advanced system of auto-idle which sets the optimum engine speed for the


welding job in hand to reduce fuel consumption, noise and engine wear.
