Generators

Telematics is hugely important in our Generator range. LiveLink provides reports on data like voltage and current across 3 phases, fuel level timeline, engine operation across load bands and exported power tracking.

3 Phase Powerpacks are LiveLink-enabled, bringing you remote monitoring, location updates, and guaranteed power when and where you need it. You can also remotely configure socket timers for control onsite, even when you’re not there.

Though we are centred in the UK, JCB is a global name and a global company: our factories are based in both the UK and in India, and we have over 100 dealers worldwide! With over 50 models in our range, JCB is one of the largest generator manufacturers. Not only that - we’re also proud to be one of the only generator manufacturers to assemble generators using our own engines.

Looking for the best silent generator? Many of JCB’s generators have been engineered to minimise noise, making them the ideal choice for quiet, round-the-clock operations. Featuring heavy gauge steel and a high-density acoustic lining, this range keeps noise levels as low as 63dBA @7m.

The smallest, quietest diesel generators we offer make up our compact range, covering 18kVA to 220kVA. The compact generator range provides excellent, efficient performance while maintaining low-noise and less space. 

All JCB generators have been specially designed to be as small and compact as possible, so they take up a minimal amount of space and are efficient to transport. So, even for larger power output requirements, our mid-range generators, covering 250kVA-780kVA, are still designed to take up the smallest feasible space.

JCB’s Powerpack has been built using high-quality components for a long service life. By choosing a high standard of battery, we are able to warrant them for a 5-year period – with an expected life of more than 4,000 daily cycles (over 10 years of typical use).

Whether you’re after a smaller domestic generator or a larger industrial generator, here at JCB we’re sure to have the right size generator for your needs.
For smaller power requirements, JCB’s compact generator range covers 18kVA to 220kVA. Fueled by JCB Diesel by Kohler, JCB 4 Cylinder DIESELMAX, and JCB 6 Cylinder DIESELMAX engines, our compact generator lineup delivers exceptional performance, minimal fuel consumption, heightened efficiency, and reduced noise levels.

For larger scale power requirements, JCB’s mid range generators cover 250kVA-780kVA. With engines sourced from well-established manufacturers like Scania, Cummins, and Volvo, our heavy-duty power systems generators offer a dependable and robust power solution. 

If you’re still not sure which size generator is right for you, don’t fret - our extensive dealer network is on hand to help work out which is the right generator for your needs. Find your local dealer here.

If you’re looking for a standby generator for home use, JCB’s electric Powerpacks are an ideal size and perfectly suited to domestic needs. Based on the average daily energy consumption of 8kWhr in the UK, our Powerpacks have the capacity to power your home for up to five consecutive days!

With zero noise at point-of-use, you can sleep soundly knowing that this near-silent power generator is perfect for overnight, disturbance-free use in your home. Plus, our Powerpack can operate indoors and underground, making it a suitable home standby generator for most people.  

JCB Powerpacks are fully electric, too. So, if you want to power your home with zero noise and zero emissions, take a look at the full specification here. 

Are diesel or petrol generators best for UK power cuts? While petrol generators are a cost-efficient option for small or short-term jobs, diesel generators are more fuel-efficient, durable, and well-suited to operate in colder conditions and on bigger projects. 

JCB’s extensive range of diesel generators are an ideal solution to keep your business running in the case of a mains power cut. Built with the best quality components, our generators are trusted throughout the UK and beyond, so you can count on them to be relied upon in a power emergency. But there’s no need to leave it to chance - our extensive dealer network is available to provide service support up and down the UK, and you can use our telematics LiveLink system to monitor your generator’s performance during a power cut.

Our mid-range generators are the most heavy-duty of our UK energy generators, covering 250-780kVA. They produce this power with minimal fuel consumption, saving money and lowering greenhouse gas emissions at the same time.

Here at JCB, we strive to build all our generators with the most efficient engines available. That means that every single one of our generators can extract the most amount of energy from every litre of fuel consumed. Ranging from single 18kVA generators through to multi-megawatt installations, our reliable generators produce the most energy possible with a minimal footprint.
