Seddons turns up the power
Recognising growing demand for portable generators to provide power when people are on camping and caravanning holidays, or for emergency backup in the home or office, Seddons (Plant & Engineers) has expanded its range of quiet, smooth-running, yet more powerful machines.
Five new lightweight portable models from SDMO and Pramac have been introduced alongside the Honda EU10i and EU20i leisure generator range. The newcomers, which include SDMO’s Ineo 1000 and 2000, and Booster 1000 and 2000 machines, and Pramac’s P1000 inverter generator, will be joined soon by Honda’s newest EU30i model, offering increased power output, but maintaining portability, ease of use and noise efficiency, with integral handles and sound-reducing casings. Honda machines benefit from an Eco-Throttle, which further extends fuel economy by allowing the generators to idle, speeding up only when there is a demand for more power.

New Harrington compact diesel sets
Harrington Generators International (HGI) has developed a range of compact diesel sets complying with the latest EU noise regulations. The SKD line-up includes 2.6, 6 and 10kVA sets, available with dual voltage output, and there are variants to suit rail applications, TIN12 welding and CTE work. Machines can be supplied with wheels and various socket options.
The 6kVA model also comes in a special Mobile Cabin version, designed for operation inside a road towable welfare cabin, where weight and size are important. HGI says it has designed the generator with a very small footprint, and for ease of servicing. It has also developed a 5m lighting tower that can be fitted to the 6kVA SKD generator.
