Most generators are now ‘Super Silenced’ meaning they are extremely quiet and can run overnight without annoying local residence adjacent to a worksite. New environmentally-friendly lighting technology has reduced the amount of power required to provide a given amount of illumination and means that smaller generators can be specifies leading to both a lower purchase price and running costs. In some traffic lights and lighting towers application the application of this new technology has seen the generator itself replaced by battery packs that are recharged using photovoltaic cells (solar power). Prominent names in the generator market include Perkins, Ingersoll Rand (now Doosan Portable Power), Stephill, Honda, Arcgen Hilta, Cummins, SDMO, Genset, Pramac, Caterpillar, Mosa, FG Wilson, Kipor, SMC, Subaru Robin, Atlas Copco, Inmesol, JCB, Broadcrown, Colemo, Endress, Powertecnique, Airman and Margen. Choosing a Generator You could say that generators are the power behind the construction industry. Put simply, they allow you to get power to where you need it. These days, so many power tools and implements are electric, and often there is no power on the site to plug into. That is where the generator comes into its own. A properly sized generator can introduce electrical power to a site and let you get the job done far quicker. Generators are extremely flexible, however, and they can perform many other useful tasks. They can power lighting on the site to provide security or to extend the safe working hours of the job and make that job so much more efficient. Generators are also used extensively to provide electrical back-up in industry, business and health facilities. Wherever continuity of electrical power is important, the generator can kick in to make sure that things continue to function in the event of a failure. Size is Important To select the correct generator, then, it is important to size it properly for the job intended. This means looking at the power requirements of all the tools that will be run from the unit. It also means considering which of these tools is likely to be used at the same time and sizing the generator to cope with the combined loa
