6 Portable Generator Accessories You Need

Your construction site needs temporary power. One of the first things you do is rent a portable generator.

But now what?

If you have a portable generator on your construction site, then you need to consider getting some accessories to make sure it runs correctly and efficiently.

Today, you'll learn which generator accessories you must have for your construction site.

1. Remote Starter

A remote starter allows you to power your generator from anywhere on your site with the click of a button. These usually come as a wireless remote that you can carry with you during the day.

2. Generator Cover

Once your site shuts down for the day, you'll want to cover your portable generator. This is especially important if it's out in the open.

3. Maintenance Plan

During your project, you have to maintain your portable generator.

They can come in and keep your portable generator running.

If you decide to maintain your generator yourself, you need to purchase oil, spark plugs, air filters, oil filters, and an oil funnel. You will need to replace these things throughout the process, depending on the length of your project. It's important to make sure that your portable generator is running at optimal levels.

4. Muffler

If your construction site has a noise concern, a muffler will make your portable generator quieter. Although, most generators already have a muffler built in, you can choose to find a customized muffler that will further reduce noise and outperform the built-in counterpart. If you do get a customized muffler, make sure it fits properly.

5. Automatic Transfer Switch

Probably the most important accessory there is, all generators should have an automatic transfer switch. An automatic transfer switch acts as a failsafe, so when there's a power outage, it automatically switches to use power from your generator.

6. Cold Weather Kit

Depending on where you live, a cold weather kit is a helpful accessory for your portable generator. These kits usually include an oil heater and battery warmer. The battery warmer is usually placed below the generator's battery and heats it up when the temperature gets low. The oil heater keeps the oil from solidifying during low temperatures.

Enhancing Security at Storage Facilities with Power Plus DVS

When people store trucks, trailers, boats, and RVs at storage facilities, they’re not just stashing extra vehicles and old equipment. They’re entrusting these businesses with some of their most valuable possessions — and often their livelihoods.

Storing high-value inventory like heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and construction equipment, truck yards and equipment rental yards are prime targets for cargo theft and other security threats.

It’s no secret Power Plus DVS started out in construction site security. It’s where we learned to always walk a property before designing its video surveillance system.

Back in the day, security guard companies like yours were the logical first defense against crime, vandalism, and trespassing. But in our ever-changing world – with evolving technology, higher value targets, and more shrewd criminals – yesterday’s stalwart guard services are facing unprecedented, new challenges.

As fast as today’s business world is evolving, the need for cost-effective security solutions is even more crucial than ever.

With our decades of experience working on job sites, no one has to tell Power Plus Designed Video Surveillance how monumental a job it is for you to manage your construction site.

With criminals targeting construction sites more and more, every construction project faces the same rising concern of theft. Not to mention vandalism, trespassing, and liability protection. But that’s where the similarity between your job site and any other ends.
