Used and new generators
Looking for a reliable power source in case of power outages? A generator is a great solution for anyone who wants to be independent from the whims of the electrical grid or work in a place without access to it. We offer both new and used generators that we hope will meet your expectations.
A new generator guarantees reliability for many years, has a manufacturer's warranty and all necessary documents and certificates. In turn, used generators are a considerable saving, which does not mean giving up quality and years of trouble-free operation. We offer devices from renowned manufacturers designed for both small workshops and large generators designed for larger woodworking plants. Each used device undergoes a thorough technical inspection. Thanks to this, you can be sure that even when buying a used generator, you receive a product that is fully functional and ready for immediate use. Our generators are characterized by high efficiency, reliability and ease of use. We offer models with different power, which allows you to match the device exactly to your needs. Regardless of whether you need power for your home, workshop or construction site, you will find the right model with us.
How does a generator work?
Are you wondering how a generator works? The principle of operation is relatively simple and does not require advanced technology! The device converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The heart of each generator is an internal combustion engine that drives a synchronous generator. The engine uses fuel (petrol, diesel or gas) to generate mechanical energy. The generator then converts this energy into electrical current. The entire process is controlled by modern electronic systems. The control elements ensure that constant current parameters are maintained regardless of the load. Thanks to this, the powered devices operate stably and safely. The automatic voltage regulation system (AVR) ensures appropriate voltage and frequency values. The generator is also equipped with a control panel that allows monitoring of operating parameters. Depending on the model, you will find fuel level, voltage, frequency and operating hour meter indicators there. Modern models also have an automatic start-up function in the event of a power outage in the network.
Application and division of power generators
Generators are used in many areas of life and industry. They are divided into two main categories:
- Aggregates in basic application – are the only source of energy in a given area. They produce electricity for needs such as light, motive power, heating, etc.
- Generators in auxiliary use – are an additional source of energy. They are used when the main power grid is interrupted or when the grid is overloaded.
The specific applications of generators are very different, such as powering specific devices (e.g. powering pumps), machines, lighting, etc. Generators can also be divided according to the method of installation. Here we distinguish between stationary and portable generators. Stationary models are permanently installed in a designated place. They are usually characterized by greater efficiency and high power. They are perfect as protection for residential buildings, offices or production plants. Portable generators are characterized by a compact design and low weight. You can easily transport them to any place. They are great on a plot, construction site or during a trip in a camper. Another division concerns the type of voltage. Single-phase (230V) and three-phase (400V) models are available. Some devices offer both types of voltage at the same time.
Which generator should you choose for your carpentry shop?
Choosing the right generator for a carpentry shop requires special attention. Carpentry machines need a stable power supply with the right parameters. Which generator will be the best? First of all, pay attention to the engine power. Large carpentry machines, such as saws, milling machines or planers, require three-phase power supply. A three-phase generator will provide adequate power and stability of operation. It is worth remembering that a three-phase generator must have a greater power than the sum of the power of the powered devices. For example, for a 30kW multi-saw, you should choose a generator with a power of at least 35-40kW. This is due to the fact that the devices draw more energy at the moment of start-up than during normal operation. Another issue is the type of engine. A diesel generator is characterized by higher efficiency and longer operating time. It will work perfectly for intensive use. It is also worth paying attention to the noise level. A quiet generator will increase the comfort of work in its surroundings. Some manufacturers offer a very quiet generator in a special soundproof housing. This solution allows you to reduce noise by up to 30%. Another important parameter when choosing is voltage stability. A good quality 3-phase generator should be equipped with an automatic voltage regulator (AVR).
How much does a professional generator cost?
The price of a professional generator depends on many factors. The most important are the power, type of engine, size and brand of the device. Small, single-phase models with relatively low power can be purchased for a few thousand PLN. Larger, professional three-phase generators with high power are already an expense of several dozen thousand PLN and upwards. Models with diesel engines are often more expensive, but they offer lower operating costs. It is worth considering buying a generator from a reputable company. Devices from well-known manufacturers guarantee reliability and long service life. Remember that investing in a good generator pays off through trouble-free operation and low servicing costs. If you are looking for savings, consider a used generator. Second-hand devices that have undergone a professional inspection can be 30-50% cheaper than new ones. Choose a device with parameters tailored to your needs. Do not overpay for a generator that is too large, but do not skimp on power if you really need it.

FAQ
How does a generator work?
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The combustion engine drives a generator, which produces electricity. The entire process is controlled by modern electronic systems, ensuring stable power parameters.
What types of generators are there?
Generators are divided into primary and secondary. They can also be classified by installation method into stationary and portable, and by voltage type into single-phase and three-phase.
What is an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)?
An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a system that maintains constant voltage and frequency in a generator. This ensures stable operation of powered devices, even under fluctuating loads.
How to choose a power generator for a carpentry workshop?
When choosing a generator for your carpentry shop, pay attention to the engine power and power supply type. A three-phase generator is the best choice for large carpentry machines, and its power should be greater than the combined power of the devices it powers.
How much does a generator cost?
The price of a generator depends on its power, engine type, and brand. Small single-phase models can be found starting from a few thousand złoty, while larger three-phase generators can cost tens of thousands of złoty.
What are the advantages of used generators?
Used generators can be significantly cheaper than new ones, often by 30-50%. However, it's important to choose units that have undergone thorough technical inspections to ensure their efficiency and reliability.
Where can generators be used?
Generators are used in various fields, such as construction, industry, and home power. They can be used as a primary energy source or as backup in the event of a power grid outage.
What are the differences between stationary and portable generators?
Stationary generators are permanently installed and typically offer greater power and efficiency. Portable generators are compact and easy to transport, making them ideal for allotments, construction sites, or leisure activities.
