The globally-renowned high-performance tools and equipment specialist gave attendees a chance to view the CPPG 5.5 Kva generator’s numerous capabilities and learn more about the company at the Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal MTE on 24 October 2019. After viewing the generator close up, visitors also had the opportunity to win one of these highly-efficient machines during a lucky draw, and Gavin Farrell from Mundi was announced as the prize winner.

Delving into the CPPG generator range, these Belgian manufactured units include 2.3Kva to 14Kva models available in petrol and diesel engines, silenced as well as in open frame options. Aligning to Chicago Pneumatic’s commitment to catering to customer’s diverse needs, the CPPG range is the ideal solution for both private and professional customers in the construction, demolition and rental sectors.

Equipped with an ergonomic handle design for smooth and easy lifting, the unit is able to be seamlessly manoeuvred around work sites. With the aim to assist customers to boost productivity and ultimately profitability, the CPPG generators feature large, reinforced fuel tanks and deliver a stable electrical output and AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) for continuous operation.

Bearing testament to its ruggedness, the advanced generators contain a solid main frame with a protected electrical panel and extra reinforcement around sensitive components, covered and recessed sockets as well as a protected electrical panel.

“Chicago Pneumatic strives to continuously offer nothing less than exceptional products and services. Therefore, we insist that our CPPG generators are tested for 1000 hours at (full) 100% load non-stop prior to release,” points out Van der Vyver. “Customers can therefore rest assured that these generators have undergone rigorous testing and have been approved for use. There is no doubt that this generator is a sound investment that delivers a rapid return.”

According to Van der Vyver, these unique MTE shows have presented Chicago Pneumatic with an opportunity to gain vital insight into customers’ diverse requirements. “As this was our second to last MTE for the year, we are extremely pleased with the great turnout on the day as well as the numerous enquiries we received. With the final 2019 MTE just weeks away, we are focusing all our efforts on showcasing our industry-leading Chicago Pneumatic capabilities, stronger than ever before.”
