Generators

Portable generators are most often used for supplying power to homes or small businesses. This is because of their size, they generally supply a smaller wattage. We have portable generators available anywhere from 3.6 kilowatts to 7 kilowatts.

Towable generators are larger in size and power and are more suitable for industrial jobs. They are engine-powered and run on diesel fuel. We have towable generators available anywhere from 20 kilowatts to 95 kilowatts.

The larger the wattage the more equipment the generator can power, but it also takes more watts to power something up than it does to keep it running. Thus, it is important to stagger start times, or keep in mind you may need a larger generator.

Pressure washers are especially handy when you are trying to get things done on your Spring and Summer To-Do lists. They make it easy for you to clean sidewalks, driveways, fences, decks, and even the siding on your house. They also work great for getting scum and tough discoloration off of your boats and RVs! These are just a few of the many things you can use a pressure washer for.
