Match the generator's continuous output to the running load of the tool, allowing for the tool's start-up surge (typically 2-4× running load for motor-start tools). For a 2-kW power tool, a 4-5 kW generator handles both running and start-up reliably. Multiple tools running simultaneously add up — calculate worst-case combined start-up load. The continuous and peak ratings are listed on every generator product page.
Generator parts — voltage regulators, alternator brushes, fuel filters, air filters, oil filters, spark plugs, starter motors, recoil-start assemblies, and engine consumables — are available for the majority of common workshop and trade-grade petrol and diesel generators. Search by the manufacturer's part number or by the engine and alternator model codes stamped on the unit. If the part is not listed, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the generator make, model, and a clear photograph of the failed component and we will confirm availability.
UK construction-site safety guidance (HSE / CDM) recommends 110V centre-tapped tools and lighting for safer operation in damp, dusty, and ground-contact conditions — at 110V centre-tapped, the voltage to ground is 55V, significantly reducing the shock hazard of accidental contact. Site transformers step the 230V mains down to the safer 110V supply. Most major construction contractors and the principal tool-hire companies operate 110V kit on-site for this reason.
Petrol generators are lighter, cheaper, and start easily in cold conditions — the standard for portable, intermittent-use, and lower-output applications (typically up to 5 kW). Diesel generators are heavier, more durable, more fuel-efficient at sustained load, and rated for longer run-times — the standard for site-power, standby applications, and outputs above 5 kW. Diesel generators also share fuel with most plant equipment, simplifying yard fuel logistics.
