SIP Generators
SIP generators provide serious power where you need it — on site, in the garage or as emergency backup. With rugged frames, efficient fuel use and options from compact inverters to heavy-duty sets, SIP keeps you powered through any job.
What Kind of Generator Do You Need?
SIP offers a full range of portable, inverter and site-grade generators. From clean, stable energy for sensitive electronics to high-output machines for construction or backup, there’s a unit that fits:
- Petrol Generators – Reliable site-ready power for tools, lighting and small plant.
- Inverter Generators – Clean output for laptops, charge stations and mobile kits.
- Backup Power Units – Protect homes, offices or server setups from outages.
- Wheeled & Framed Units – Easy to manoeuvre and built to survive site abuse.
Ideal For:
- Trades needing mobile jobsite power
- Van-based setups or mobile repair work
- Emergency backup for homes, sheds or offices
- Running tools, chargers and low-amp systems off-grid
How to Choose the Right SIP Generator
Compare wattage, runtime and output type depending on your use case. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Output Type (Pure vs Standard)
Standard generators are fine for most tools. Inverter models offer clean sine wave output — safe for laptops, phones and electronics.
2. Run Time & Fuel Tank Size
Longer shifts? Go for 10L+ tanks with 6–10 hour runtime at 50% load. Smaller tanks suit burst jobs or lighter use.
3. Portability & Storage
Wheeled frames and folding handles help move heavy kits. Compact inverters are perfect for mobile engineers and backup setups.
Useful Generator Accessories
Get more from your SIP generator with smart power support and protection:
1. Extension Leads & Power Splitters
Run multiple tools safely with IP-rated leads, reels and junctions.
2. Surge Protectors & Transfer Switches
Prevent overload and control switchover in backup power setups.
3. Fuel Cans & Maintenance Kits
Keep your generator fuelled and serviced with cans, filters and spare plugs.
SIP Generator FAQs
Can I use SIP generators with sensitive electronics?
Yes — use SIP inverter models with clean sine wave output to safely run laptops, tablets, routers and control systems.
Are SIP generators easy to transport?
Yes — most models have fold-out handles and rugged wheels for jobsite or garage movement. Compact models are lightweight and easy to store.
What size generator do I need?
Add up the wattage of all tools or systems you’ll run. Always choose a generator with 20–30% more output than your expected load for safe performance.
Are SIP generators petrol or diesel?
Most SIP generators are petrol powered — quieter, cleaner and easier to maintain for general use. Diesel options are typically reserved for heavy industrial kits.
Do SIP generators need regular maintenance?
Yes — check oil, air filters and spark plugs. Maintenance kits are widely available, and SIP models are built with service access in mind.
