Power up your business with Isuzu Power Solutions generator sets

The Isuzu Australia Limited brand has been built upon the reliability of its products, and as Australia’s truck market leader for over 34 years, it’s a reputation that’s well-deserved. However, while Isuzu is best known for a truck model range that spans a gamut of trades and applications, including construction, there’s another Isuzu product range now in high demand: Isuzu Power Solutions (IPS) generator sets.

Isuzu’s diesel-engine generator sets have steadily gained traction as a smart power solution. These gensets are well-specified as either fixed units or mobile options, and have been designed with a compact footprint for easy installation and operation.

Whether it’s for a remote power source in an area not connected to the grid, as primary power for portable and demountable buildings, or for use on-site to power machinery, IPS generator sets are fitted with a series of single- and three-phase power outlets (depending on unit size) and come protected with a Residual Current Device as standard, ensuring they are ready to work.

The generator sets can also be configured with a 4G online cloud-based monitoring and control system, meaning owners can access and control the unit via a device remotely without needing to travel to the business premises.

All-weather canopies constructed from thick-gauge, powder-coated steel are built to meet the rigours of heavy-duty applications, affording dependable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.

Isuzu Power Solutions generator sets are available in three sizes: a 20kVA unit well-suited to small businesses and mobile applications such as trade services, and 37kVA and 50kVA units for businesses with heavier load requirements.

Many businesses will be planning to take advantage of the longer daylight hours to achieve project goals over the summer months ahead. However, this is also the most intensive time on Australia’s national power grid, with overloading an all-too-common occurrence during this period in recent years.

A report from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has called on urgent investment to ensure reliability of the National Energy Market (NEM). This includes a call for businesses to invest in their own backup power solutions to avoid painful downtime and a negative flow-on effect to project deadlines.

IPS Sales Manager, Troy Lawson, says Isuzu is increasing production of generator sets to support customers before the season arrived.

“We know that businesses are aware that having the power cut, even for a small amount of time, could be costly in terms of loss of stock and productivity,” he says.

“All our customers can expect the same reliability of product and excellence in service experienced by Isuzu Trucks customers, with support from the local dealership to ensure the correct generator set is specified.

“Our products are fully backed with a two-year warranty plus full engineering support from our expert IPS team.”

Backup power is just one of the many ways that IPS generator sets can be put to work. For those such as Wagga Wagga-based father and son duo, Paul and Xavier Phyland, from First Class Firewood, a generator is a primary power source that must deliver reliable power day-in, day-out.

Paul and Xavier needed an off-grid power source to run machinery including a log-docking saw, firewood splitter, and kindling machine. They reached out to Wagga Motors for help, where Sales Dealer John Beattie recommended an Isuzu Power Solutions GS020PTY generator set as the ideal match.

“John and the Wagga Motors team were very knowledgeable about IPS products and gave us the best advice on selecting a generator for First Class Firewood,” says Paul.

“With such a good track record in Australia, we felt secure choosing IPS to support First Class Firewood.”

The Isuzu GS020PTY is rated at 51dB(A) at 7m, making it one of the quietest units on the market. As with all IPS generator sets, it’s designed with acoustic insulation, sound suppression technology throughout the canopy, and crafted exhaust housings that reduce noise and balance high and low frequencies to help prevent hearing damage when working on-site.

This is vital to protecting the hearing of team members and reducing noise pollution.

“It’s extremely quiet – the lower decibels don’t create noise pollution, which is something we had to consider,” says Paul.

“We feel that Isuzu and Isuzu Power Solutions can be relied on; they’re also expanding parts and service, so you know ongoing support won’t be an issue.”
