Used generators: choose for the electrical load

The right generator starts with the equipment it needs to supply. Compare Machinery Resale's generator categories for mobile use and backup power, with advice based on your application rather than the headline rating alone.

What to compare

List the connected loads and identify equipment with a starting demand, such as motors. Compare voltage, frequency, phase arrangement and the stated duty rating. A standby rating and a prime rating should not be treated as interchangeable.

Select the complete setup

Also consider operating duration, site access and the required connections or distribution equipment. Share these details with our sales team to select a suitable machine and accessories. Confirm the specifications of the actual generator rather than inferring them from the model family.
