    Makinex Offers World’s Smallest Dual-Phase Generator at 573 Pounds

    The unit is designed to access tight spaces, fit through doorways, in and out of elevators and maneuver around jobsites.

    Makinex is introducing what it’s calling the world’s smallest and extremely portable 23kW 240V dual-phase generator, weighing only 573 pounds. The unit is designed to access tight spaces, fit through doorways, in and out of elevators and maneuver around jobsites. The generator is a third of the weight of most comparable generators, the company said, while delivering 23kW of 3-phase 240V power and 120V single-phase power. 

    The generator features a radial flux alternator that generates up to 15-percent more power per engine horsepower than convention units, the manufacturer says. With only three main components – engine, electrical panel and alternator – this generator offers simplified, reliable operation.

    The 23kW is designed for flooring, concrete and polishing contractors, offering power 3-phase polishing and grinding equipment and single-phase vacuums. The machine supports high-amp applications like 240V mixing pumps and submersible pump, and can power electric mini-excavators or robots.
