Designed for demanding site power, backup supply and event setups, the Gorilla Power GP8300DF dual-fuel generator combines petrol and propane gas operation with high output for larger loads. Maximum output is 8300W with 8000W running capacity, giving strong overhead for equipment that draws more power on start-up.
Starting is flexible, with recoil, electric and wireless remote options, while a 25 L fuel tank supports longer periods between refuelling. Output connections are arranged on the front panel, including a 240V 32A (CEE) socket for higher-draw applications, plus 2 × 120V 32A low-voltage outlets for site tools, alongside a ground (earth) terminal. Low-oil shut-off is built in for engine protection.
