Gentech 8kVA Honda Powered Electric Remote Start EP8000HSRE-RS Version 2

Plenty. The EP8000HSRE-RS Version 2 puts out 8kVA rated power, so it'll comfortably handle power tools, a fridge or two, lights, and other site or home essentials at the same time. It's built for tradies on-site, home backup, and solar backup - if you're running heavy gear like an air compressor or drop saw alongside a few other loads, this unit handles it without breaking a sweat.

At 80% load you're looking at around 9.7 hours from the 25-litre tank, burning roughly 2.58 litres per hour. That's a solid full day on-site or overnight backup without needing to refuel. Lighter loads will stretch it further.

It weighs 98kg, so this isn't a unit you're throwing in the ute solo - you'll want a hand or a hoist. It does have a centre lift point on the steel frame which makes crane or forklift loading straightforward. Dimensions are 780 x 570 x 570mm (L x W x H).

It runs a Honda iGX390 engine - one of the most respected engines in the generator game. Honda's iGX series is known for its durability and fuel efficiency, which is why Gentech spec it into this unit. It's not a cheap clone engine; it's the real deal, and that's reflected in the 2-year manufacturer warranty from Gentech Generators.

It comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty from Gentech Generators. Every unit is pre-delivery tested before it leaves the factory, so you're not the first one to fire it up. We ship Australia-wide and can help you sort any warranty queries through Gentech if something comes up.

The EP8000HSRE-RS uses a 2-wire remote start system, so you can fire it up without walking out to the unit. It also has a standard electric start and recoil backup if needed. The remote start is handy if the genny is tucked away on-site or in a shed and you need to kick it over from a distance.
