Trailer Mounted Generators: Perfect Equipment for Industrial Use

Posted by Swift Equipment Solutions on August 1st, 2016

Trailer-mounted generators are handy when you need to work on the field or in an area without electricity. Also known as 'towable generators,' they can easily be transported to a job site or utilized for emergencies, such as in the event of a power outage. With these generators, you can have power anywhere you are, making them the perfect equipment for industrial use. Trailer-mounted generators can be lifesavers, too, especially when used by emergency crews and hospitals when electricity is unavailable. 

The benefits of trailer-mounted generators go beyond portability. They operate more quietly than conventional industrial generators, making them ideal to use in areas that have zoning laws and noise regulations. A trailer mounted generator is optimized to perform for industrial applications, so you can count on it to have sufficient power for your job. Their ruggedness makes them useful in any situation. The metal enclosure not only minimizes noise but also protects the device from daily wear and tear, especially in rough job sites. Trailer mounted generators come with high-end electronics and controls that have been engineered to meet the toughest challenges and demands on any job site. 

The versatility of trailer-mounted generators is more evident when they can be used to power standby applications and when they are connected to an automatic transfer switch. They can withstand high power loads and can be used for temporary or emergency power requirements, which can go from 20 kW to 640 kW. The generators are placed on a tandem-axle trailer, so they can be towed at high speeds—even on a highway—without the risk of shaking the internal components or damaging the machine. 

You can purchase trailer-mounted generators online. They are often sold as brand new units or as refurbished and surplus, so you have more options depending on your needs and budget. Regardless of your choice, you should be able to find towable generators that are powered by diesel or gasoline. Some units can be configured to run on natural gas and propane, too, but be sure to have an experienced and qualified technician do that for you to prevent accidents and to prevent the original manufacturer warranty from becoming void. Used trailer-mounted generators are great if you want to buy equipment at discounted prices. Reputable sellers evaluate and test them and provide the full service histories and the entire performance data, so you can be confident that you are buying high-quality equipment.
