Generators For Sale

True Gear stocks generators from Gentech, Welling & Crossley, Westinghouse, Hyundai, Champion, Briggs & Stratton, and Macfarlane. You'll find everything from compact inverter units to heavy-duty open frame and welder generators - petrol and diesel, recoil or electric start.

Prices vary a fair bit depending on size and type. At True Gear, generators start around $1,099 for a compact 3.2kW inverter and go up to $8,500+ for a 20kVA Honda-powered unit. For most tradies and campers, a 5-8kVA petrol generator in the $2,000-$3,500 range hits the sweet spot.

For camping - running a fridge, lights, and charging gear - a 2-3.5kW inverter generator is usually plenty. On a job site running power tools, compressors, or a welder, you'll want at least 6-8kVA. If you're running multiple tools at once or a big compressor, step up to 8kVA or more. Check the starting wattage of your biggest appliance, not just the running wattage.

Inverter generators produce clean, stable power - good for laptops, phones, and sensitive electronics. They're quieter, more fuel-efficient at part load, and easier to carry. Open frame generators are louder and heavier but put out more raw power for the dollar, making them better suited to job sites and running high-draw tools. If noise matters (camping, caravan parks), go inverter. If you just need grunt, open frame is usually better value.

Yes. All generators sold through True Gear come with an Australian warranty - coverage varies by brand and model but typically ranges from 12 months to 3 years for domestic and contractor use.
