Reliable Power for the Job Site

February 13, 2025

You wake up, get ready, make your morning brew, and rush out the door. You know it’s going to be a busy day. You are helping to construct a new home, and your site manager is entrusting you to oversee the day-to-day operation. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring materials are ordered correctly and delivered in a timely manner, assigning who goes where and does what, and most importantly having the means to power all the tools required to build a sturdy and safe home for a new homebuyer. It is usually a safe bet that in the early stages of planning a home, electrical has not been setup quite yet. This is where having a reliable portable generator and or power station comes into play. Whether you are a seasoned professional or first-time builder, you know the importance of reliable power for any kind of job.

The Benefits of Portable Power

Powering Tools and Equipment

Choosing the right portable power source for a construction site can be challenging, as it requires powering a variety of tools, each with different wattage needs to operate efficiently. Equipment like table saws and compressors often require more wattage compared to tools designed for lighter tasks, such as palm sanders. We offer a wide range of portable generators and power stations to ensure you have the perfect power solution for any job. Plus, with our portable generator selector tool, the decision-making process has never been easier.

Charging Cordless Tools and Devices

Power stations and inverters equipped with USB ports and AC outlets are excellent sources of power for keeping cordless tool batteries, work phones, and tablets fully charged. These portable solutions also provide clean energy for sensitive electronics required on the job site. By keeping these generators on hand, you can eliminate downtime caused by dead batteries and devices.

Lighting

Often, the workday slips by, and we find ourselves working late into the night or the early hours of the morning. Working in the dark can be dangerous without proper lighting—poor visibility can lead to injuries or damage to the build, resulting in higher costs and missed deadlines. Portable generators and power stations are excellent for keeping floodlights, work lamps, and other lighting devices operational during these crucial times.

Convenience in Remote Areas

We put the ‘portable’ in portability. When it comes to mobility, think of portable generators or power stations. These make an ideal choice for job sites in isolated or off-grid areas. They can easily be transported in your vehicle to specific sites or between various jobs and locations. Many units are lightweight and can be carried by one person, while others may require at least two people to load them into a vehicle.

Backup Power for Emergency Situations

Power outages can be unexpected, and when you are in the middle of an important job, they can cause various delays—logistical, financial, and mental. Portable units like these are designed to provide peace of mind during emergencies. They have the capability to supply power to safety equipment such as radios, on-site first-aid stations, and emergency lighting during nighttime or low-visibility hours

The Right Generator for the Right Job

Portables Generators

You have plenty of options with our line of portable generators. We offer a variety of units that operate exclusively on gasoline, use both gasoline and propane, or provide the flexibility of three fuel options: gasoline, propane, and natural gas. These generators are highly versatile, giving you full control over your preferred fuel type. With wattages ranging from 1,500W to 15,000W, they are perfect for construction projects of any size.

Power Stations

Power stations are an excellent solution for tackling the challenges of job sites by providing reliable power inside a build or out of it. Operating without the need for fuel, they are emission-free and silent, making them ideal for maintaining a safe and quiet workspace. Equipped with multiple outlets—and some models even offering wireless phone charging—power stations can power a variety of tools and equipment essential for keeping the job site running smoothly.

At Champion, our customer support team is available 24/7, ready to assist you whenever you need help. We know how frustrating it can be to wait for support, which is why we offer immediate assistance via phone or live chat.
