Massive 480V Power in a Portable Package

 

Blue Makinex 23kw 240v with visible engine and components on a white background

When your operation scales up to high-capacity wood processors, industrial conveyors, or commercial-grade mobile sawmills, standard portable generators just don't cut it. You typically face a choice: haul a massive, expensive diesel tow-behind unit or risk underpowering your equipment. The Makinex 23kW 480V Generator bridges that gap perfectly. It delivers genuine industrial three-phase power in a frame that is less than one-third the size of a comparable towable unit.

This powerhouse is driven by the rugged Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 37HP V-Twin engine. Known for its high torque and durability in dirty, sawdust-filled environments, this EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) engine ensures reliable starting and consistent performance even under heavy loads. It is paired with Makinex's advanced permanent magnet alternator, a technology that extracts 15% more power from the engine than standard copper-wound alternators. This efficiency is critical for handling the massive startup surges of 480V electric motors found on large splitters and conveyors.

Versatility is essential on a busy landing or in a tight wood yard. The Makinex 23kW 480V Generator provides 480V Three-Phase power for your primary heavy machinery while simultaneously offering 120V Single-Phase power for your support tools. You can run your main processing line and your sharpening grinders, air compressors, or work lights all from one compact hub, eliminating the need for multiple generators or complex transformer setups.

Designed for maximum mobility, this unit weighs approximately 430 lbs—a fraction of the weight of a diesel trailer. Its "No-Tow" design features a heavy-duty frame with large wheels and a lifting point, allowing you to load it into a pickup truck, van, or move it around the site by hand. You get the high-voltage output you need without the speed limits, registration costs, and parking headaches of towing a trailer.

Safety is paramount when dealing with 480V electricity in outdoor conditions. Makinex has equipped this generator with industrial-grade RCD and RCBO protection at the source. This ensures that your crew is safe from earth leakage faults and your expensive machinery is protected against power surges, giving you peace of mind during long shifts in variable weather.

For the serious timber professional who needs uncompromising power without the logistical nightmare of a trailer, the Makinex 23kW 480V Generator is the ultimate solution. It combines the brute force of the Vanguard engine with the innovation of Makinex, ensuring that at Timber Splitter Warehouse, we keep your biggest iron running and your production numbers high.

 

 

 

 

 

Why Choose The Makinex gen-23p-ms 240?

 

 

Trailer-Free Logistics

Stop hauling a massive tow-behind generator to every job site. Weighing approximately 430 lbs, this unit fits in the bed of a standard pickup truck or van. It completely eliminates the speed limits, registration fees, and parking headaches associated with towing a trailer, getting you to the landing faster.

 

Vanguard EFI Reliability

Powered by the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 37HP V-Twin engine, this unit features Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). This ensures reliable, choke-free starting in cold weather—essential for early mornings at the wood yard—and provides better fuel efficiency under variable loads compared to carbureted engines.

 

15% More Starting Power

Large electric motors on industrial conveyors and processors demand a huge surge of power to start. This generator uses Permanent Magnet Alternator technology, which extracts 15% more power from the engine than standard alternators, allowing it to handle heavy startup loads without stalling.

 

Simultaneous 480V & 120V Output

Streamline your operation by running everything from one source. You can power your primary 480V three-phase wood processor or sawmill while simultaneously running 120V air compressors, sharpening tools, or work lights, eliminating the need for a secondary generator.

 

Safe for Modern Electronics

Many modern wood processors use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and sensitive computer controls. This Makinex generator produces clean power with low harmonic distortion (<3%), protecting your expensive automated machinery from electrical faults and damage.

 

Compact Footprint

At less than one-third the size of a comparable diesel towable generator, this unit saves valuable space on the landing or in the workshop. It delivers the same industrial voltage you need without taking up the room required for a trailer or skid-mounted unit.

 

Built for the Jobsite

Designed for harsh environments, the unit features a heavy-duty galvanized steel frame to resist corrosion and a robust wheel kit that can handle uneven ground. It includes a central lifting point for easy loading with a skid steer or crane, making it a true jobsite support tool.
