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.

Winter Adventures with Portable Power

January 16, 2025

Though the holidays may be over, winter is in full swing with many adventures about to begin. The cold brings an exhilarating feeling for many. Snow blankets the area, providing a picturesque winter wonderland full of tranquility and a chance to recharge yourself after hectic holiday activities. Whether it be camping, RVing, visiting your favorite national park or wilderness for the day, or ice fishing, getting away is a great way to start the new year. Now, many winter outings lack a reliable way to keep yourself and your essentials powered. However, with a portable generator or power station at your disposal, you can prepare yourself for a seamless experience.

Why Having Portable Power Matters in Winter

Keeping Comfy

However beautiful winter may be, it can bring freezing temperatures, especially in off-grid locations like national parks or wilderness areas. To enjoy the comfort of warmth, consider a portable generator or power station. Portable generators can power essential heating systems or heated tents outdoors, while a power station is ideal for running indoor essentials like electric blankets or space heaters.

Devices for Safety and Navigation

When in remote areas, it is crucial to have devices like GPS units, smartphones, and satellite communicators to ensure safe navigation and stay connected. However, these devices also require power to function. Portable generators and power stations are ideal for keeping these devices charged and ready at a moment’s notice. Power stations provide silent power, making them the go-to option for critical devices like phones, especially if freezing temperatures prevent you from leaving your tent.

Cooking Equipment

During a winter adventure, a warm meal can make all the difference. This is especially true for activities such as ice fishing or multi-day camping outings, whether in a tent or an RV. Portable generators and power stations can meet the energy demands of coffee makers and portable electric stoves used for cooking. In your power setup, it is also recommended to use insulated containers to store and keep food warm in colder weather.

Electrically Powered Winter Gear

It’s no mystery that winter enthusiasts bring along an array of gear. Portable generators can keep larger items like electric snowmobiles and battery-powered ski gear charged, while power stations are perfect for keeping smaller devices charged such as heated gloves, drones, camera batteries, and lighting equipment—especially if you are an adventure photographer.

RV and Fishing Shelter Power

Not all winter outdoor adventures involve camping in a tent. Some prefer the luxury of RVing or taking shelter in an ice fishing shack. These, too, require a reliable source of power. Larger portable generators can supply electricity to an RV’s heater, water pump, fridge, or lights. If you are spending time in a fishing shack, smaller portable generators or power stations can be used to operate heated seating or a fish finder. If you choose to use a portable generator, always ensure it is operated outside of the ice shack or RV for safety.

Choosing the Right Power for Your Winter Escape

Inverters

Inverter generators are designed to be lighter, highly efficient, and quieter, making them a prime choice for winter adventures where portability and noise reduction are preferred.

  • Dual Fuel Inverters: These inverters are an excellent choice for prolonged winter stays due to their flexibility to operate on either gasoline or propane, extending operating times if one fuel source runs out.
  • Tri Fuel Inverters: These inverters embody versatility. They can operate on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, making them reliable for powering RVs, essential camping appliances, and other outdoor gear.

Power Stations

Tackle the challenges of cold weather comfortably with power stations, which provide excellent and reliable indoor power. Without the need for fuel, they are emission-free and silent, making them perfect for maintaining peace and quiet. Power stations feature multiple outlets, with some models even offering wireless phone charging, to power a variety of winter adventure essentials, such as space heaters and electric blankets.

Customer Support

At Champion, our customer support team is here for you 24/7, ready to provide assistance whenever you need it. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for help, so we offer immediate support through phone or live chat.
