Kohler Enters Portable Generator Market

Nov. 22, 2013

Kohler has launched a new line of portable generators targeting building contractors and other construction professionals who need a portable power supply for tools and electronic equipment.

The complete line of models, ranging from a 2.0 kW inverter to a 12.3 kW gasoline generator, will be available in January 2014 and formally unveiled at the World of Concrete show Jan. 20-24 in Las Vegas. This new portable generator family from Kohler is designed to offer fuel efficiency, while offering clean power output that is safe for even the most sophisticated electronics. The line will also include trash pumps and water pumps in varying sizes and flow rates.

“Kohler has a long heritage in power generation going all the way back to 1920, with our first Kohler Automatic Power & Light,” said Manny Rumao, senior product manager. “Today Kohler offers a complete range of generators up to 3.2 megawatts that are relied upon in myriad applications: construction, telecom, residential/light commercial, industrial, mobile and marine. Adding portable generators helps us further meet our customers’ needs for clean, efficient and dependable power.”
