FROM EMERGENCY

When emergency electrical power is available, the fears of flood or other natural ravages are quickly minimized. CONSOLIDATED designs and manufactures generator sets to provide stand-by power in the event of failure of normal power in hospitals, schools, police and fire stations, and other areas of need. ➤➤➤ Other generator sets of our design are available to supply continuous power where commercial power is unavailable. For the military, for instance, our sets furnish electrical power for perimeter radar defense warning lines and communications. ➤➤➤ Pictured above is a typical Consolidated diesel generator unit, 4 wheel trailer mounted, fully housed. If you have any electrical power requirements, our engineers are anxious to discuss your needs.

stand-by power units, write:
