Reliable Power When the Grid Goes Down

When the power goes out in cyclone season, a generator is the difference between inconvenience and a fridge full of spoiled food. Bowen Small Motors & Cycles supplies generators in Bowen for households, tradespeople, farms and event organisers, from quiet portable inverter units that run sensitive electronics through to heavy-duty machines that keep a worksite going. We'll help you add up the appliances or tools you need to run, allow for start-up surge and recommend a generator with the right output and run time. Every unit is supported by genuine spare parts and our own service workshop, and many owners pair one with our pumps for backup water supply. Call our team on (07) 4786 4288 or drop into the Bowen store for advice today.

Commercial Generators

We stock a large range of commercial-grade generators with a range of power outputs to suit all applications. Popular uses for this type of generator include providing a back-up power supply during outages. But they are also used to provide power on construction sites and capable for running welders. Our knowledgeable staff are always available to help you find the right generator to suit your needs and meet your budget.

FAQs

What size generator do I need?

Add up the running watts of everything you want to power at once, then allow extra headroom for motors and compressors that surge on start-up. Our team can size a unit from a simple list of your appliances or tools.

What is an inverter generator?

An inverter generator produces clean, stable power that's safe for laptops, phones and other sensitive electronics. They're also quieter and more fuel efficient than conventional generators at partial load.

How should a generator be maintained?

Run it under load for a short period every few months so it's ready when needed, and change the oil and filters at the intervals in the manual. Stale fuel is the most common cause of a generator failing to start.
