What Is a Diesel Welder Generator?

A diesel welder generator is a self-contained unit that combines a welding power source and engine-driven generator in one machine. It delivers welding output plus auxiliary AC power for tools, grinders, and lighting without relying on mains electricity.

Our dual welder generators feature two independent arcs, allowing two operators to weld simultaneously from a single power source. This increases efficiency on larger projects.

Generator Welder Rental Types & Specifications

Onsite Rentals offers site welder generators in three different power options: a versatile 450 amp, a mid-range 480 amp, and a high-capacity 580 amp.

Key specifications to consider include:

Amp output: 500+ amps suit heavy structural, pipeline, and gouging work where maximum output is essential. 300–400 amps covers general maintenance, structural repairs, and light fabrication work across construction and industrial sites.
Auxiliary power (kVA): Determines what tools and equipment you can run alongside welding. Look for 10–20 kVA for grinders, lights, and small tools.
Fuel capacity and consumption: Larger tanks and efficient engines reduce refuelling frequency on remote sites.
Portability: Trailer-mounted or skid-mounted portable welder generator options for different transport and site access requirements.
