Portable Generators

True Gear stocks a solid range of trusted brands including Gentech, Westinghouse, Welling & Crossley, Champion, Hyundai, Briggs & Stratton, and Macfarlane. Whether you're after a Honda-powered workhorse or a quiet inverter for the campsite, there's something here for most budgets and applications.

For camping or caravan use, a 2-3.5kVA inverter generator is usually enough to run a fridge, lights, phone chargers, and a small appliance at the same time. If you're running an air conditioner, you'll want to step up to at least 3.5-5kVA. Inverter generators are the go-to for campsite use - they're quieter and safer for sensitive electronics like laptops and CPAP machines.

An inverter generator produces clean, stable power that's safe for sensitive electronics, runs quieter, and is more fuel-efficient at lower loads. They're ideal for camping, caravanning, and anywhere noise matters. Open frame generators are typically louder and heavier, but they deliver more raw output for the money - better suited to job sites, powering tools, or running high-draw appliances where clean power isn't critical.

Prices vary a fair bit depending on size and type. Compact inverter generators start around $1,000-$1,500 for a 3kVA unit. Mid-range petrol generators in the 5-8kVA range typically run $2,000-$3,500. Larger commercial units (10kVA+) can push well past $5,000. True Gear stocks options across all these price points, and most brands come with Australian warranties.

Yes - all generators sold through True Gear come with manufacturer warranties backed in Australia. Warranty periods vary by brand and model, typically ranging from 12 months through to 3+ years for some commercial units. Because True Gear is an authorised Australian dealer, warranty claims are handled locally - you're not stuck trying to deal with an overseas supplier.
