Portable Generator Built To Last
“Our new ReGen portable generator doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it’s built to last and affordably priced,” says LeRoy Riehl, Riehl Equipment, Ickesburg, Penn.
  Riehl is a distributor for Kohler and Honda generators, and also services and repairs them throughout Pennsylvania. Most of his customers are in the construction business. He saw a need for a low cost, simple portable generator, so he started manufacturing the ReGen 2 years ago. Three different models are available, all powered by Honda engines.
  “The ReGen is designed and built to be jobsite tough,” says Riehl. “We buy the generator head and engine, and then build the frames and put everything together in our shop. Our goal was to build a simple and very dependable generator that doesn’t have all the extra features found on other brands, such as automatic controls. It’s designed for the farmer who needs a generator only occasionally, and just wants a generator he can throw on back of a utility vehicle and take with him anywhere. He can operate the ReGen all day long and maybe have to refill the gas tank once.”
  According to Riehl, the ReGen works great in off-grid solar applications. “It’s a challenge to use most conventional portable generators with solar back-up power, because they’re not designed to produce a continuous 20 amps. As a result, the breaker gets hot and trips.”
  The company sells 2,800, 4,500, and 5,500-watt models. The 2,800-watt model sells for $1,349 plus S&H; the 4,500-watt for $1,679 plus S&H; and the 5,500-watt for $2,149 plus S&H. An optional wheel kit is available.
