subject: Unique Uses For Portable Generators [print this page] Many people think that generators are only used for emergencies, but the reality is that generators can be used in a wide variety of situations. With improved technologies making generators more efficient, smaller, and quieter, the ranges are only limited by the people using them; from the great outdoors, to running a mobile booth, who knows where you might see a generator.
-While this might not be a groundbreaking revelation, generators can be extremely useful on camping trips. While getting back to nature can be a hoot, sometimes it is still nice to know you can afford some creature comforts. A small, gas powered generator can provide lighting to the spooky woods safer and more efficiently than a campfire. Just be sure to maintain it as generators can still be a fire hazard around dry vegetation.
-Small businesses trying to expand their brand name will find many uses for a portable generator. Any outdoor fair or tradeshow could be short on power and having electricity could be the driving factor of attracting more potential customers. Plus, having electricity in remote locations gives you the benefit of being able to accept credit and debit cards. Imagine running large fans to cool off hot customers at your next summer show. If you love giant inflatable advertising gizmos (and let us face it, who doesnt?) then a generator is the way to keep your wacky waving arm guy going.
-Special events like weddings and birthdays often take place outside and away from electrical outlets. A generator can run the lights and music for your next big event better and more efficiently than stringing thousands of feet of extension cords to the nearest building. Just be sure to have enough fuel, you dont want the music fading during the first dance!
-Between the air compressors, roto-hammers, drills, welders, and a cacophony of other power tools, constructions sites often need a generatorto keep up with demand. Blowing fuse boxes every ten minutes because the crew is using too much juice slows everyone down and just wastes money. A generator can keep the crew working and the customer happy.
-Farmers, ranchers, or anyone with an excess of acreage will find a handful of uses for a generator. Whether its running an electric fence, supplying power at a remote site, pumping water, or any task can often be made easier with a generator. Just be sure to have an all-terrain vehicle to help cart it around in.
No matter the situation, a generators can help save time and will pay for itself ten times over. Whether its providing creature comforts or helping you get dirty, a dependable source of power will go a long way.
