Sometimes you need a backup energy source, or maybe you have to carry an electrical energy supply with you to accomplish a remote job. A gas powered electric generator may be exactly what you need.

A gasoline generator is especially useful as a portable energy source, since it can be lighter than other generators and easy to transport. If you have a gas powered electric generator that is not as portable as you would like it to be, many models can be fitted with wheel kits to make them mobile. With a more portable gasoline generator, you’ll be able to bring your machine to a job site and wheel it to where its needed.

When purchasing a gas powered generator, here are some tips for finding the one you're looking for:

For good deals on equipment that still functions well, buy used or refurbished gas generators.
To prepare for the possibility of maintenance needs, also purchase gas generator parts when you buy the machine.
Look for a gas powered generator distributor who will buy or exchange used generators if you're looking to get rid of your old machine.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Go online to compare prices from many diesel generator companies

You may know the specifications of the gas powered generator you're looking for but haven't been able to compare similar models. Go online for price quotes on machines from multiple companies. Compare prices to find the generator that fits your budget and meets your needs.

I recommend: Get a free price quote at BuyerZone on models built by multiple gas generator manufacturers and sold by a variety of distributors. Fill out a short survey to get a phone call from gasoline generator distributors who stock machines that fulfill your requirements.

Find a wholesale distributor of gas generators

If you're looking for the best price on a gas generator, look for gas generators for sale from wholesale vendors who sell at factory-direct prices. Companies that buy their machines directly from gas generator manufacturers can often offer better prices.

I recommend: GeneratorDepot offers portable and standby generators at wholesale prices. Browse their website for photos and written specifications on the models they sell.

Buy the accessories you need for your new or used generator

Many times it just isn't enough to buy the gas generator itself. You may need accessories to help with an onsite installation, or extra parts in case mechanical problems arise. Look for generator suppliers who sell accessories as well as the generators and purchase all the items you'll need in future at the same time.

I recommend: Find portable generators and wheel kits at GlobalIndustrial.com. Buy a ready-made gas generator, or just the engine.
