Outdoor power equipment manufacturer Echo has incorporated Shindaiwa mobile, diesel generators and welders into the Echo brand family under the new Echo Industrial Power Equipment (IPE) name.
While the ECHO IPE name is new, the generators and welders have 20 years of proven performance in North America and with more than 800,000 units sold globally across construction, oil & gas, mining, telecom, disaster response and entertainment industries.
“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.”
Echo IPE offers generator models ranging from the compact DGK7F (7kVA) to the high-capacity DGK180F/P (180kVA).
Key features of Echo IPE work in tandem to maximize uptime. A compact enclosure features heavy-gauge panels that reduce vibration, resist damage and hold up to the harshest job site conditions. Built-in overload protection and efficient engines also help optimize fuel use under variable conditions.
Echo IPE generators deliver simultaneous access to dual-voltage, single-phase and three-phase current, with no external transformers required. This Simul-Phase technology assists job sites juggling multiple power needs, from remote construction sites to emergency disaster zones.
Noise is controlled thanks to insulated panels, a tuned muffler and airflow design that reduces sound. The DGK180F/P (180kVA) generator models run at just 65 dBA under full load— quiet enough to hold normal conversation.
An 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.
For safety, built-in thermal relays, lockable voltage selectors and engine protections safeguard people and equipment. 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.
