KPS Capital Partnership LP finished their purchase of Briggs & Stratton on September 22, 2020. This brings Briggs & Stratton out of Chapter 11 with a stronger, healthier balance sheet allowing the company to continue to build upon their 100+ year history. All warranties from before Chapter 11 are in full force and will be honored by the new owners.

As you know, WINCO has been building generators with the Vanguard engine on some of our most popular air-cooled generators. We value our partnership and appreciate the quality and durability of their products. We will continue manufacturing generators you depend on using these industrial engines. We love the fact that all of our Vanguard V-Twin engines are produced right here in the US!

Check out our popular air-cooled generators that feature the Vanguard engine!

At WINCO, we are constantly engineering and updating out product line! Our latest update is on the WL18000VE. We have redesigned this Big Dog to produce 10% more power. The good news is that even though we increased the power by 10% our engineering and purchasing team have made it possible to sell the new model at the SAME price!

Before we transition to the new WL18000VE/B, we are going to sell out of the previous version first. With the increase in shipments to areas affected by storms we are going to run out of the current model a lot earlier than we anticipated. We anticipate we will run out before the end of September and apologize for the short notice.

Let’s compare the difference between the old and new models:

Say hello to the WL16000HE

The newest generator joining our industrial line.

This WL16000HE has all the best components that make our generators stand out! We are a big fan of Honda engines and are excited about the iGX800. Like our other Big Dogs, you get the tough, heavy gauge galvanealed steel, robust receptacle package, industrial generator, all with a 3 year warranty.

We all love more power! The WL16000HE produces 30% more power than our WL12000HE! The receptacle panel has two L6-30 receptacles giving you the capability to run two welders at the same time!

On July 20th, 2020 B&S announced that hey are filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Chapter 11 is designed to keep businesses running without any intention of shutting down. The good news is that there is at least one buyer ready to purchase the company out of bankruptcy.

In short , we are cautiously optimistic. Briggs has been very responsive and continues to produce new engines. We believe that Briggs & Stratton will emerge out of this stronger than before. Since not everything is fool proof, we are evaluating other engine options for the 31 and 35 HP engines, that could be affected if Chapter 11 doesn’t work out as planned.

WINCO is actively monitoring the situation. We want you to be rest assured that no matter the outcome, WINCO will be ready to adjust.

The RP50 is back and re-engineered with a Tier IV final engine and more features than before!

The RP50 is designed not only to look tough, it is built tough. The oil field skid is ready for you to put it to work, no matter what your application is.

We have competitively priced the RP50 to work with your budget without compromising on quality or limiting features.

Switchable voltage takes this generator to the next level. The 3-position switch allows one generator to the work of many. We upgraded the AVR to a DSE109, providing more features than in a regular AVR. When you switch the voltage via the switch, the AVR will automatically sets it to nominal voltage. You can trim the voltage on the panel and it will remember it until the voltage is switched again using CAN communication between the DSE7310 and AVR.
