Designed for clean, stable power in a compact footprint, the Gorilla Power GP5000iE open-frame inverter generator delivers true sine-wave output for running tools, appliances and sensitive electronics. Maximum output is 5000W with a 4500W running rating, giving practical headroom for mixed loads where start-up surge needs to be considered.
Petrol powered with a 12 L fuel tank and 0.6 L oil capacity, it combines Economy Mode with flexible starting options: recoil, electric and wireless remote. At 43 kg and measuring 540 × 435 × 478 mm, it suits mobile work as well as backup power setups where portability matters. A low-oil shut-off is built in for engine protection.
