Generac unveils LP-fueled portable generator

Generac Power Systems continued its innovation in environmentally conscious power solutions with the introduction of the LP3250 portable propane generator at GIE+EXPO 2011.

“Propane is an eco-friendly alternative to standard gasoline,” said Lauren Pettit, product manager, Generac. “The Generac LP3250 portable generator is the first generator on the market to combine the benefits of environmentally-friendly propane with an easy-to-transport design.”

With other propane-fueled portable generators on the market, the tank has to be carried and placed to the side of the generator when in use. The Generac LP3250 solves this problem by storing the tank within its dolly-style frame, eliminating the need to carry the tank separately and manage the awkward fuel line, making the unit one of the most maneuverable portable generators on the market. The LP3250 is ideal for outdoor events, tailgating, camping or jobsite use, and can even be used around the home for projects or for emergency back-up power.

According to Pettit, liquid propane fuel is readily available — even during widespread power outages when gasoline stations might be inoperative — and can be stored indefinitely without deterioration. Additionally, as opposed to gasoline, liquid propane is biodegradable, and dissipates into the atmosphere instead of spilling. Consistent with Generac’s commitment to green innovation, the LP3250 portable generator emits fewer carbon dioxide emissions and toxic pollutants than comparable gasoline-powered portables.

Additional features of the LP3250 portable generator include:

Integrated fuel tank holder that secures a 20-pound liquid propane fuel tank (not included) to unit
9.5-hour run time with a 20-pound tank
Dolly-style handles and a low grab bar to increase maneuverability
Hardened-steel tube cradle
Low-oil pressure protection
Covered outlets
GFCI outlet and circuit breaker
