Atlas Copco Introduces The New QAX 24 Generator

The new QAX 24 generator offers its owners ease of operation and accessibility in a durable design. From the rear-mounted controls to the front-hinging, clamshell canopy, this generator - rated at 24 kVA - is perfect for general construction and everyday operation.

Owners and fleet managers alike will appreciate the fact that the QAX 24 is constructed with a Zincor steel housing and a powder-coat finish that will give additional protection against corrosion and fading to keep it looking good and ensure a higher resale value.

Those who manage the fleet will also be happy that this generator requires servicing only every 500 hours. And when it does require maintenance, all filters and change parts are easily accessible from the top to add to the time savings. When full engine access is required, the side panels quickly come off with four bolts.

The compact frame of the QAX 24 houses a rugged three-cylinder Deutz turbo diesel engine. The engine complies with all noise and emissions regulations, plus offers an acoustically-treated, weather-proof canopy for work in populated areas under any condition.

The QAX 24 is equipped with a control panel that's easy to understand, even for the novice user. Plus the standard hour meter, voltmeter and ammeter provide the contractor with convenient operational data. People with little experience operating a portable generator will find the experience safe and easy.

For the full-shift construction crew, the QAX 24 is equipped with a standard high-capacity, transparent fuel tank, which allows full-load usage of 13 hours, eliminating the need for mid-task refuelling.

The 2,000-pound gen-set with its fixed tow bar is perfectly balanced for easy maneuverability around a yard or jobsite. On a congested construction site, this means the QAX 24 can be delivered quickly and safely to any part of the work area by one person.
