Built for Peak Performance
The backbone of every Perkins generator is its solid engineering. The Perkins 1104C-44TAG2 engine powers many models, delivering stable output even under varying loads. Its diesel technology not only ensures long-term reliability but also maximises fuel efficiency, saving you money in the long run.
Integrated alternators, such as the Leroy Somer models, provide efficient energy conversion, ensuring minimal power loss and steady output. The digital controllers—like the advanced DSE7320mkII—streamline operations with intuitive controls and precise monitoring. Whether for industrial generators or portable power solutions, these systems are built to perform.
Tailored Solutions for Your Needs
Used Perkins generators adapt to a wide range of applications. Need reliable backup generators to keep your business running during power outages? Perkins standby generators are your go-to solution.
Looking for industrial generators that can handle heavy-duty equipment? Perkins diesel generators deliver consistent, powerful energy for even the toughest jobs.
If you’re working on a remote site or hosting an event, Perkins portable power generators ensure uninterrupted operations wherever you need them. These generators are versatile and dependable, no matter the situation.
What to Look for When Buying
Choosing the right generator doesn’t have to be complicated:
- Start by calculating your total power requirements.
- Ensure the generator’s kVA rating matches your equipment’s demands to avoid underperformance.
- Always inspect the generator’s condition.
- Pay close attention to the engine, alternator, and control systems.
- Reviewing the service history can provide valuable insights into its reliability.
Fuel efficiency, noise levels, and runtime are key considerations. Models like the Perkins PTG-T110S, with a 210-litre fuel tank, can run for over 12 hours at 75% load, ensuring extended operation without frequent refuelling. Its sound-attenuated canopy keeps noise levels at 72 dBA, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
