Power your site with Dunlite generators and welders
When the power's out, or you're working miles from the nearest outlet, Dunlite generators keep your tools running and your job moving. Built for tradies, contractors, and site managers who need reliable backup power or off-grid performance, these units handle everything from running power tools to lighting up an entire work zone.
Models range from portable inverter units for quiet operation to heavy-duty diesel setups for extended runtime. Honda-powered variants combine proven engine technology with tough construction, perfect for consistent power delivery on demanding jobs. You'll also find engine-driven welders in the range, designed for fabricators and metalworkers who need clean, stable arc performance in the field or workshop.

Dunlite FAQ
What size Dunlite generator do I need?
The size depends on what you're running. For basic power tools and lighting, a 2–3kVA inverter model handles most jobs. If you're powering multiple tools, air compressors, or site lighting rigs, look at 5–7kVA units for more consistent output. Heavy site setups with welders, large compressors, or commercial gear might need 10kVA or higher. Check your total wattage requirements and add 20% headroom for startup surges.
Are Honda Dunlite generators good?
Yes, Honda-powered models combine Honda's reliable engine platform with robust generator construction. You get consistent power output, fuel efficiency, and durability that holds up on job sites. They're a solid choice for tradies who need dependable backup power or off-grid operation without constant maintenance.
What's the difference between inverter and open-frame generators?
Inverter units produce cleaner, more stable power and run quieter, making them ideal for sensitive electronics and residential sites. Open-frame models deliver higher output at a lower price point but are louder and better suited to heavy-duty site work where noise isn't a concern. Inverter generators are also more portable and fuel-efficient for lighter loads.
Can I use a Dunlite generator for welding?
Yes, but you'll need a model with enough continuous power output to handle the welder's amp draw. Engine-driven welders offer integrated options for field welding, or you can run a separate welder off a generator rated for the load. Check your welder's power requirements and make sure the unit can deliver stable output under sustained draw.
How often should I service a Dunlite generator?
Service intervals depend on usage, but a general guide is:
Oil change every 50–100 hours or annually
Air filter clean or replace every 50 hours in dusty conditions
Spark plug check every 100 hours
Fuel system inspection and filter replacement annually
For standby units or generators used regularly on site, stick to the manufacturer's schedule to keep performance consistent and avoid breakdowns mid-job.
