Lister Petter is a British company, known throughout the world for manufacturing various premium diesel engines and reliable quality generators. Lister generators can be used for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Products produced by Lister Petter are very popular because they are extremely strong and have a long life expectancy.

Depending on the size of a Lister generator and the maintenance it receives, it’s not unreasonable to expect a unit to run for at least 20 to 30,000 hours before it needs its first overhaul.

Lister Petter has long built durable diesel engines, but has now added propane and natural gas powered models to its production line. Since 1984, the company has also produced generator sets, which was a great success. In 1999, they were listed as the third largest assembler of stationary industrial generator sets in the world, in the 5kW to 20kW range. And if that’s not enough; The British corporation is also becoming a key manufacturer of heavy duty industrial engine generating sets. These are equipped with features, such as:

• One radiator-cooled engine with thrust fan

• A comprehensive foundation framework

• A large fuel tank

• Battery cables plus clamp

• Vibration isolators

• 12 volt electric start with belt driven battery charging alternator

• A medium duty air filter

• Engine mounted muffler with rain cover

• A mechanical fuel pump

• Belt guard and fan

• Main line circuit breaker

• Close Coupled Flexible Disc AVR Alternator

Automatic start generator controls, which are standard, can be started manually or by remote contacts, suitable for automatic transfer switches. Control panels typically include an hour meter, automatic starter disconnect, a 3-position automatic run/off rocker switch, as well as high engine temperature and low oil pressure shutdowns.

Lister generators can be used for residential and commercial applications as a primary source of electricity or as a reliable backup when power outages occur. Some businesses depend on power to do business, and the loss of power, even for a short period of time, can be devastating. Imagine how you would feel trapped in an elevator for hours with no way out!

Lister Petter understands that there is a need for various types of generators, and that one type of Lister generator is not sufficient to meet all the requirements expressed by today’s consumers. It’s a great reason to put engineers to work creating even more advanced and durable motors and generators.

Motors produced by Lister Petter are not only used in generators, but also in stationary industrial applications. They are very suitable as pumping equipment or to generate electricity. Some of these generator sets are specially designed for purposes such as welding, internal pumping or irrigation projects. Some of the company’s engines are even used in marine applications. These engines are very powerful and extremely reliable.

Individuals as well as business owners who are considering purchasing a Lister generator will not regret their decision. Your unit will run efficiently and much longer than any competitive model.
