Before choosing a generator, the first thing you must understand is how differently Military and consumer manufacturers rate the output of their generators. The Military ratings are extremely under rated while consumer generators are typically extremely over rated. For a detailed explanation of how these figures are derived and a better understanding of how you can determine the best fit for your application, please visit the Output Ratings page. In most cases, the generator you think you need will be larger than necessary when considering one of our refurbished Military generators in the same output range.

The MEP-016B / MEP-701A series generators are perfect for home & business owners looking for an inexpensive and reliable source of backup power. As a more economically priced alternative to the MEP-002a & MEp-003a series generators, these smaller units are still built for continuous operation and offer many of the features found on the larger units. Engineered for battle, these generators are extremely well designed, and like all military equipment, are over-built and made to run 24x7 in any weather or condition. All framing, output and control box, battery trays, etc. are made of aluminum leaving very little to left to rust. This MEP-701a features an acoustic suppression kit, an Onan diesel engine, auxiliary fuel pump, glow plugs, electric start, adjustable output voltage, output gauges and much more.
