Lincoln Electric Ranger 260MP LPG Propane Welder Generator, 260A, 9,500W
The Lincoln Electric Ranger 260MP LPG is a propane welder generator for plants, refineries and other restricted sites that may not accept gasoline or diesel engines. Fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, the Rehlko CH730 LP engine delivers up to 260 A of stick, MIG and flux-cored output plus 9,500 W of continuous 120/240 V power.
The 21.5 HP CH730 LP engine works with digital amp and volt meters, a front-facing engine hour display and glove-friendly one-knob control, and 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 steadies the arc, and Auto-Idle brings noise and fuel consumption down as the load eases.
Welding and generator power can run at once, and under 5% total harmonic distortion keeps laptops and other sensitive electronics safe to power from four 120 V and one 240 V receptacle, with GFCI-protected receptacles in the design. The engine-driven welder weighs 424 lbs, measures 26.4 in. H x 20 in. W x 36.4 in. L, starts with a manual choke and carburetor, and has a galvanized steel body in an IP23S-rated enclosure.
