Generator

We just installed the generator this week. It is a standard generator that would be used on a job site by a contractor. It can produce 10kW continuously and is just perfect for our needs. When we were looking at generators every model we found above ~5kW seemed way too big for our space because the dimensions were always given with the frame included. To get an accurate measurement, we had to call the factory and have them measure the unit directly. Once we knew how big it was, we ordered it knowing we had about 2 inches of side to side play and we had to cut out the rear bumper area.


This shows the vertical and horizontal supports for the generator to sit on. We made the design modular to allow the generator to be removed without any specialized equipment.


Here it is! It fit almost too perfectly. If it was any bigger it would not fit.


We got it to fit without entering into the plastic bumper area.


One final view from above.
