When you need to power a mobile sawmill, a large conveyor system, or a heavy-duty industrial wood processor in the middle of a log yard, you usually have two choices: drag a massive tow-behind generator through the mud or run hundreds of feet of expensive cable. The Makinex 16kW 480V changes the game, it puts true industrial three-phase power into a compact frame that you can wheel right up to your machinery, eliminating the need for a trailer entirely.
At the core of this unit is the commercial-grade Honda GX690 engine, paired with a revolutionary permanent magnet alternator. This advanced alternator technology is critical for forestry applications—it extracts 15% more power from the engine than standard copper-wound generators. This means it can handle the heavy startup loads of 480V electric motors on splitters and conveyors without bogging down or tripping breakers.
This generator is built for versatility on the landing or in the yard. It provides 480V Three-Phase power for your primary industrial equipment while simultaneously offering 120V Single-Phase power for your hand tools, sharpening grinders, and work lights. It’s a complete power hub that lets you run your main operation and your support tools from a single, fuel-efficient source.
Despite delivering 16kW of industrial output, the unit weighs just 342 lbs—a fraction of what a diesel tow-behind weighs. The "No-Tow" design features a rugged wheel kit and lifting point, allowing you to load it into the back of a pickup or van. You can bypass the speed limits and parking hassles of towing a trailer, getting your power to the wood pile faster and easier.
Safety and durability are standard. The heavy-duty galvanized frame is built to withstand the knocks and weather of outdoor timber processing. Makinex has also equipped this unit with RCD and RCBO protection at the source, ensuring that your crew and your expensive 3-phase electric motors are protected against earth leakage and power surges.
For the timber professional running high-voltage equipment, the Makinex 16kW 480V is the ultimate jobsite support tool. It combines the reliability of Honda with the innovation of Makinex, ensuring that at Timber Splitter Warehouse, we keep your operation running strong, no matter where the logs are stacked.
Trailer-Free Logistics
Stop dragging a massive tow-behind generator through the mud. Weighing just 342 lbs, this unit fits easily in the bed of your pickup, on a skid steer pallet fork, or through a standard gate. It completely eliminates the speed limits, parking hassles, and registration costs of towing a trailer to the jobsite.
15% More Starting Power
Electric motors on large wood splitters and conveyors require a massive surge of power to start. This generator uses Permanent Magnet Alternator technology, which is proven to extract 15% more power from the engine than standard copper-wound alternators, ensuring your heavy equipment starts up without stalling the engine.
Simultaneous 480V & 120V Output
Simplify your setup by running your entire operation from one machine. You can power your primary 480V three-phase processor or sawmill while simultaneously running 120V sharpening grinders, air compressors, or work lights—no need for a second "sidekick" generator.
Honda Commercial Reliability
When you are deep in the woods, reliability is everything. Powered by the legendary Honda GX690 V-Twin engine, this unit guarantees easy starting in cold weather and parts availability at virtually any small engine shop in North America.
Clean Power for Modern Equipment
Modern wood processors often use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and sensitive electronic controllers. This Makinex generator produces clean power with low harmonic distortion (<3%), protecting your expensive computer-controlled machinery from electrical damage.
Built for Outdoor Abuse
Forestry environments are tough on gear. This unit features a heavy-duty galvanized steel frame that resists rust and corrosion, along with rugged wheels designed to roll over packed dirt, sawdust, and gravel without failure.
Cost-Effective Diesel Alternative
Get the high-voltage 3-phase power usually reserved for expensive diesel tow-behind units, but at a fraction of the purchase and maintenance cost. It’s the smartest way to power 480V equipment without the five-figure price tag of a diesel generator.
