Dayton Electric/Recoil Diesel Portable Generator, 5000 Rated Watts, 9160 Surge Watts, 120VAC/240VAC

Dayton portable generators are ideal for powering a variety of equipment including high starting amperage tools. They feature high amp surge capacity, circuit breakers with protected outlets for safety, and quiet mufflers to reduce engine noise.

Portable generators are standalone power sources that can be carried or rolled to supply primary or back-up power when electricity is unavailable or insufficient. They burn gasoline, propane gas, or another fuel to generate electrical energy for running equipment during power outages or in remote settings. Inverter generators have an electronic alternator that manages power flow to deliver higher quality power and better fuel efficiency than conventional generators. They also require less maintenance and are lighter and smaller for easier transport and storage.
