Trailer rig build – best generators for running Graco equipment?

[Rex Calloway]

Building out my first dedicated foam trailer. What generator are you guys running? Need to power the proportioner plus HVAC and lighting.

I run a Generac 10kW commercial unit. It has been bulletproof. Electric machines like the Graco E-series need clean power with stable voltage. Inverter-type generators are worth considering.

Strongly recommend a propane or natural gas generator if you are working in cold climates. Gas carburetors and cold mornings do not mix well.

We run a 12.5kW propane unit and it is great. Starts every time even in minus 10F weather. Plumbed it to a 100 gal tank on the trailer.

Propane makes a lot of sense. Going to look at the Generac options. Thanks everyone.
