A CUT ABOVE THE REST
What Is an Engine Driven Welder?
Not all welding jobs take place in a shop or near an adequate power source. When the process requires an independent power source, engine drives can provide any weld through diesel, propane, or gasoline generators.
Engine-driven welders are used for outdoor purposes, and most can be transported on a truck or trailer to the job site. They can support most forms of welding methods, making them versatile and valuable equipment.
- Stick welding
- Flux-cored welding machines
- MIG welders
- TIG welders
How to Choose an Engine Driven Welder
CK Supply has an extensive line of engine drives to buy or rent, and when choosing a unit, there are many things to consider before making the investment.
- Portability – Gasoline engine drives tend to be smaller and more portable, which helps if the intended application requires the welder to be lifted or carried to the work area.
- Fuel consumption – Engine drives commonly use gasoline, diesel, and propane as fuel and each option offers different benefits. Gasoline engines are smaller, while diesel engines are more fuel-efficient.
- Power capacity – Engine drives can provide between 5,000 and 20,000 watts of power, which means the more robust options can simultaneously run power tools or air compressors.
- Application – Always consider the materials being welded and the intended job’s size before choosing the welding machine for the job.
