Single-Phase Diesel Generator – 5 kVA / 230V with Electric Start

Reliable Single-Phase diesel generator rated at 5 kVA, 230 volts, complete with electric start for easy use.

We bought this unit second-hand around ten years ago and used it mainly to power our planer thicknesser.

It has always been dependable — starts easily, runs smoothly, and never let us down.

Although it looks a bit weathered, it’s a solid and reliable workhorse that does exactly what it should.

The generator has been stored indoors in our workshop and unused for the past three years, but as you can see in the video taken on 15 Oct 2025 it started and ran perfectly.


It needs a battery and probably an oil change. But it will serve you well.


💷 Price: £550, or reasonable offers considered.

📍 Collection only from our depot near Hatfield, Hertfordshire.


A perfect backup or workshop power source — tough, simple, and built to last.
