Highlights

Ideal For

  • Plasma Cutting Operations Supplies the stable, high-amperage 240V power required to operate portable plasma cutters for slicing through thick structural steel on damaged equipment.
  • Mobile Welding Operations Capable of running industrial stick welders and wire feeders simultaneously with other tools, making it a primary power source for service truck repairs.
  • Noise Sensitive Sites Utilizes Quiet Armor Technology to operate at 79 dB(A), measuring significantly quieter than standard open-frame generators of the same output class.
  • Running Sensitive Electronics Produces electricity with less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), meeting the safety standards required for powering diagnostic laptops and forestry head computers.

'Need to Knows'

  • Honda GX690 Power Driven by a commercial-grade Honda GX690 V-Twin engine, offering verified cold-weather starting reliability and widely available parts for maintenance.
  • Onboard Battery Maintenance Includes a built-in battery charger/maintainer to keep the electric start battery fully charged, preventing failures after the truck sits idle for extended periods.

Product Info

Powerhorse 12500 Generator


Versatile Tri-Fuel Power for the Landing

 


When your operation needs massive, raw power to run lights, heaters, and shop tools without the premium price tag of a master-service unit, this generator is the answer. The Powerhorse 12500 Generator is built for versatility, featuring Tri-Fuel technology that allows you to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. This flexibility is a game-changer at remote logging camps where gasoline might be scarce, but large propane tanks for heating are readily available.

At the core of this machine is a rugged 457cc OHV engine that delivers reliable performance in tough conditions. Unlike standard consumer units, this engine is equipped with cast iron cylinder sleeves and a heavy-duty forged crankshaft, ensuring it can handle the daily grind of a working job site. With an electric start system, you don't have to fight a pull cord in freezing temperatures—just press the button and you have immediate power.

Output is king when running heavy "dumb" loads like grinders, chop saws, and camp heaters. This unit delivers 12,500 surge watts and 9,500 running watts on gasoline, giving you the headroom to start high-draw motors and run multiple high-amperage tools simultaneously. It effectively bridges the gap between smaller portable units and massive standby generators, providing a mobile power station that can run the entire break shack or field office.

Connectivity is designed for the working professional, featuring a comprehensive panel with a 50-Amp 120/240V outlet (14-50R) and a 30-Amp twist-lock. This allows you to plug in heavy distribution boxes or run a welder directly from the generator. While it doesn't offer the ultra-low harmonic distortion of the NorthStar series, it provides dependable, consistent voltage for running standard power tools, air compressors, and lighting towers.

Durability is ensured by a 1-inch tubular steel roll cage that protects the engine and alternator during transport. The unit comes standard with a wheel kit and folding handles, allowing one person to maneuver the 225-pound machine around the landing or shop floor. A large 6.6-gallon fuel tank provides up to 9 hours of run time at half load, ensuring you aren't constantly stopping production to refuel.

For operations that need a cost-effective, high-output backup that can burn whatever fuel is on hand, this unit is unbeatable. Whether you are keeping the lights on at the camp or running a bank of battery chargers, the Powerhorse 12500 Generator delivers the brute strength you need to keep the job moving.
