OVERVIEW

Reliable Power for Demanding Job Sites

The XG890 Portable Generator is engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of contractors and construction professionals. When grid power is unavailable, this 8000-watt powerhouse ensures that your essential tools and equipment remain operational, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. At the heart of this unit is a robust 426cc engine, designed to deliver consistent, stable power even under heavy loads. Whether you are powering saws, drills, compressors, or temporary lighting, the XG890 provides the reliability you need to get the job done.

Built for the Toughest Environments

Durability is a cornerstone of the XG890's design. Encased in a heavy-duty 12-gauge steel tube frame, this generator is built to withstand the knocks, bumps, and rough handling typical of active construction zones. The frame not only protects the engine and alternator but also provides a solid base for stability during operation. Recognizing the logistical challenges of moving heavy equipment, the design includes a dedicated steel lifting pocket. This feature allows for safe and easy lifting by cranes or hoists, making it simple to position the generator exactly where it is needed, even on multi-story projects or difficult terrain.

Smart Features for Efficiency and Safety

Efficiency and longevity are enhanced by the integrated idle control system. This smart feature automatically lowers the engine speed when power is not being drawn, significantly reducing fuel consumption and operational noise. This not only saves money on fuel but also extends the life of the engine by reducing wear. For added protection, the unit is equipped with an automatic low oil shutdown system, which cuts the engine if oil levels drop dangerously low, preventing catastrophic damage. With the convenience of an electric start, getting power up and running is as simple as pushing a button, eliminating the strain of manual recoil starting in cold weather or after long shifts. Fully CSA approved, the XG890 meets stringent safety standards, giving you peace of mind on every job.
