Lincoln Electric Ranger 260MP Gas Welder Generator, 260A, 9,500W, K5937-1

The Lincoln Electric Ranger 260MP is a gas welder generator with up to 260 A for stick, MIG and flux-cored welding, a single glove-friendly control knob and a connection for an optional remote. Its 23.5 HP Rehlko CH730 engine gives 10,500 W peak and 9,500 W continuous at 120/240 V, so tools, lights and sensitive electronics can run while the machine welds.

Output ranges are 35-260 A and 15-30 V. A remote control switch and 6-pin connection accept optional K857 (25 ft) or K857-1 (100 ft) remotes for output control, Chopper Technology smooths starts and steadies the arc, and Auto-Idle trims noise and fuel use when demand drops. An electronic choke and a front-facing fuel gauge make starting and fuel checks quick.

Clean AC power with under 5% total harmonic distortion runs laptops and similar electronics, and the panel offers four 120 V and one 240 V receptacle, with GFCI-protected receptacles in the design. At 426 lbs and 26.4 in. H x 20 in. W x 36.4 in. L, the compact engine-driven welder suits construction, farm, maintenance and service truck work; it has an 11-gallon tank, a galvanized steel body, an IP23S-rated enclosure and a rear-engine layout with front battery access.
