Gentech 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start ED160WELDYSRE

The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start is built for serious work where reliable power and on-site welding matter.

Designed for trades, rural work, mobile repairs, and remote sites, this unit combines dependable diesel generation with integrated welding capability in one compact machine.

If you need power and welding without hauling multiple units, this generator is built for the job.

Why the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start makes sense

This generator is designed for people who rely on their equipment daily.

The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start delivers stable power for tools and appliances, while also giving you 160 amps of welding output when fabrication or repairs are required on site.

One engine. One unit. Multiple jobs covered.

6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start power output

With a 6.8 kVA power rating at 0.8 power factor, this generator is suited to running common site equipment, tools, and lighting.

The alternator is rated to 7 kVA, providing additional headroom when loads fluctuate.
This helps deliver more consistent power when tools start up or loads change during use.

Running at 230V single phase, it integrates easily into typical Australian job site setups.

Yanmar engine reliability in the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start

At the heart of the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start is the Yanmar L100N5 diesel engine.

Yanmar engines are known for:

• Long service life

• Consistent fuel efficiency

• Strong performance under sustained load

Diesel operation also means better fuel economy and safer fuel handling compared to petrol on many worksites.

Built-in welding capability with the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start

This unit isn’t just a generator. It’s also a welder.

The integrated welding output delivers:

• 160 amps welding capacity

• 60% duty cycle

That makes it suitable for general fabrication, repair work, fencing, and maintenance tasks without needing a separate welding machine.

For mobile trades or remote work, this reduces equipment load and setup time.

Electric start convenience in the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start

The electric start system makes daily operation easier, especially in cold conditions or frequent stop-start use.

Turn the key and get to work without repeated pull starts.
This is particularly useful for job sites where time and reliability matter.

Fuel efficiency and runtime

With a 5.4 litre fuel tank, the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Welder Generator with E-Start is designed for efficient short-to-medium runtime use.

At 80% load, fuel consumption is approximately 1.65 litres per hour, delivering around 3.3 hours of operation.

This balance suits mobile jobs, repair work, and intermittent use where portability is more important than extended runtime.

Noise levels and portability

This generator produces 80 dBA at 7 metres, which is typical for open-frame diesel units of this size.

Weighing 100.5 kg and measuring 810 x 550 x 560 mm, it remains compact enough for transport on utes, trailers, and service vehicles while still delivering meaningful output.
