DEWALT has surged into the portable power market with two
new electric Dewalt generators designed and
built specifically for the contractor.
The 6,000-watt DEWALT DG6000 Heavy-Duty Gas Generator has
Honda’s premium 11-horsepower OHV GX engine that delivers
the performance necessary for a worksite. A special air intake,
choke, and carburetion system allows for easy starting regardless
of air temperature, while the super-quiet muffler and idle
control reduce noise and help with fuel efficiency.
For increased durability, the Dewalt DG6000 portable generator
has a brushless alternator that virtually eliminates any need
for alternator maintenance. Output is rated at 5,000 watts
continuous AC power and 6,000 watts max power for running
worksites that use high-amp tools. In addition, the DG6000
provides up to 8,250 watts of surge capacity for starting
larger tools such as air compressors.
In keeping with a standard to provide reliability for the
professional user, DEWALT’s 4,300-watt DG4300 Heavy-Duty
Gas Generator has Honda’s premium 8-horsepower OHV GX
engine. This generator also has a brushless alternator for
low maintenance and lasting dependability. The DG4300 produces
3,800 watts continuous and 4,300 watts max AC power, and up
to 6,270 watts high-surge output.
The receptacle selection and control panel layouts on both
units were designed with input from contractors who use generators
daily. Each generator has four 120V GFCI receptacles. In addition,
the DG4300 includes a twist-locking receptacle for 120V, and
one for 120/240V. The DG6000 includes two 120V twist-locking
receptacles, and another for 120/240V. Both units have a maximum
120V-power switch that’s located conveniently on the
panel for channeling output only to the 120V receptacles.
DEWALT built these generators with a rugged 1-1/8" frame
and reinforced stand to endure the abuse on a typical worksite.
Horizontal bars in front of the panel protect the receptacles,
breakers and switches. The metal 5-gallon gas tank is also
protected and holds enough fuel for a full workday.
Both generators come with ergonomic handles, as well as a
lift hook and a 10-inch semi-pneumatic tire kit for easy transport.
