Why do you need a Grabber 50kw Generator?
Built to Start & Run 40 HP Electric Motors Without Soft Starts
The Grabber 50 kW Industrial Diesel Generator is engineered specifically for severe-duty truck upfits, trailers, and demanding jobsite applications. Built to deliver continuous 480V 3-phase power at 1800 RPM, this unit eliminates the downtime, complexity, and expense of bulky tow-behind rental generators.
To guarantee uncompromised motor-starting capability, we integrate top-tier components from global leaders in diesel technology:
-
Tier 4 Final Deutz Diesel Engine: High-output, clean-burning power head built for continuous performance under heavy electrical load without requiring DEF or regen cycles.
-
Upsized 120 kW MeccAlte Alternator: Specially paired with a 70A main breaker and Total Plus protective coating to absorb massive inrush starting currents—allowing you to start and continuously run electric saws up to 40 HP (Code “H” or better).
-
DynaGen Digital Controller: Features an intuitive remote mimic panel with a 20-foot extension cable for convenient cab-side or trailer-side engine monitoring.
Mounted on a heavy-duty .187″ formed steel skid base with captive isolator mounts, square steel protective tubing, and integrated forklift pockets, the Grabber 50 kW set is built tough to withstand slurry, moisture, and extreme jobsite environments.
