About Used Used Generators for Sale
Industrial generators provide standby and prime power for manufacturing facilities where an outage means scrapped material, damaged tooling, or halted production. Used generators (gensets) are available in diesel (the standard for standby power), natural gas (continuous-duty friendly, no fuel storage), and portable/towable configurations. Key specifications are kW rating, voltage configuration (480V three-phase for most plants), transfer switch compatibility, and hours — standby units often have very low hours relative to age.
Buying a used generator saves 30-60% versus new, and low-hour standby sets from facility closures are common in the used market. Check hours, load-bank test results, control panel generation, and emissions tier where applicable for your jurisdiction.
Meadoworks handles used industrial generators from Caterpillar, Cummins/Onan, Kohler, Generac, and MTU, frequently available through plant liquidations. Contact us at 800-323-0307 for availability.
