Choosing the Right Petrol Generator

Petrol generators are widely used because fuel is easy to source anywhere, and they tend to be lighter and more affordable than diesel equivalents at the same output. Smaller units around 2.6kW to 4kW suit camping, small tools and light backup, while mid-range 5kW to 8kW models cover most trade and home backup needs. For serious worksite use or hire fleets, the larger 10kW to 13kW machines from Crommelins and Powerlite deliver enough capacity for bigger tools and multiple circuits at once.
