Echo Incorporated announced the movement of legacy Shindaiwa mobile, diesel generators and welders into the Echo brand family as Echo Industrial Power Equipment (IPE).
Although the Echo IPE name is new, the generators and welders it represents have 20 years of performance in North America. With over 800,000 units sold globally, these products aim for durability, reliability and ease of use across construction, oil and gas, mining, telecom, disaster response and entertainment industries, according to the company.
“Echo IPE is engineered with the realities of industrial work in mind – where professionals need power that performs every time,” said Wayne Thomsen, vice president of marketing and product management at Echo. “For decades, the performance of these generators and welders has been trusted for some of the world’s most challenging environments. Now, it’s backed by Echo’s U.S. support, well-established distribution and deep investment in product innovation.”
To enhance its industrial power equipment business, Echo has launched a new section on its website where industrial customers can view product specifications, request demonstrations and connect directly with the Echo IPE team.
Key features of Echo IPE are engineered to work together to ensure increased uptime. A compact enclosure features heavy-gauge panels that reduce vibration, resist damage and hold up to the harshest jobsite conditions. Built-in overload protection and efficient engines also help optimize fuel use under variable conditions.
Echo IPE generators give customers simultaneous access to dual-voltage, single-phase and three-phase current — no external transformers needed. This Simul-Phase technology is a game-changer for jobsites juggling multiple power needs; from remote construction sites to emergency disaster zones.
Echo IPE’s user-friendly interface allows customers to see all critical information at a glance, and its straightforward product design makes setup and maintenance easier than before. Comprehensive warranties, service agreements and a nationwide support network ensures speedy access to parts and expert assistance.
Other features include:
- Ultra-quiet operation: Noise is controlled thanks to insulated panels, a tuned muffler and airflow design that reduces sound. DGK180F/P (180 kVA) generator models run at just 65 dB under full load — quiet enough to hold normal conversation.
- Field-first functionality: Included auxiliary tank compatibility extends runtime for longer shifts and remote deployments. The DGK125FP and DGK180FP models offer paralleling capability to ensure redundancy in critical applications and enable scalable power delivery.
- Smart power, lower impact: All models meet EPA Tier 4 Final standards. The DGK70F, DGK125F and DGK180F models feature S.E.T. Smart Emissions Technology for added protection during light or underloaded operation.
- Safety first: Built-in thermal relays, lockable voltage selectors and engine protections safeguard people and equipment.
