Home and Light Commercial Standby Generators

Winco's line of Standby Generators are referred to as Packaged Standbys and include twenty product offerings with output capacities from 5.5 kW to 25kw. The smallest of these units is actually a portable generator with a power transfer switch sold as a kit. The units in the remainder of the line are outside enclosure units ranging from 8 kW to 75 kw operating on liquid propane (LP) or natural gas. Winco offers enough variety to be able to safely power an entire home or small business (or partial emergency circuits only). Winco designs and builds their own line of automatic power transfer switches that enable fully automatic line monitoring and generator startup in the case of utility power failure.

Mobile Diesel

Winco's line of mobile diesel generators are heavy duty industrial units mounted on a single or dual axle trailer and are ready to deliver 5.5 kW to 75 kW of power to the jobsite. There is even a special version of this line that is a mobile outdoor light tower to illuminate work sites at night when needed. The light Tower boom retracts and can be folded down for transport. Of course the generator on the mobile light tower can also be used to power tools at the jobsite.

Company Information

In 1927, John and Gerhard Albers, developed a method for recharge a six-volt storage battery using a wind generator. The device was called "The Wincharger." and became it so popular in Iowa rural and farm communities that by 1935 the Wincharger company was incorporated and manufacturing had moved to Sioux City to keep up with demand. Wincharger was acquired by the Zenith Corporation in 1937 as an accessory to their radio product line. Winco developed additional products of increasing voltages leading up to the Dynamotor that was popular during World War II. Post War product development brought new designs of Dynamotors, inverters, alternators, Winchargers, engine-driven generators, transistorized converters, ground electrical support equipment and radio receiving sets.

In 1950, Winco introduced a line of power take off (PTO) generators designed to run off of the power takeoff drive of farm tractors. By 1952 Winco had developed a line of portable engine-driven generators for home, commercial, and light industrial applications. Winco continued making stride in R&D including the first automated throttle control, and automatic power transfer switches, and heavy-duty motor starting applications.

By the mid 70's, Winco had become a major supplier of generators to the rental and construction markets. In 1978, Winco began producing water-cooled generators.

In the early 80's the Dynamaxx generators were introduced including a Quick-Link voltage reconnection board and advanced technology microprocessor controls. Late in the 80's came the Dyna Pro series, the Pro-X series, and Tri-Fuel portable generators for the consumer/homeowner markets.

In the 90's Winco introduced the Dyna brand name to target the consumer-oriented portable generators market and a line of Honda powered portable generators for the construction market.

Today, Winco's many customers continue to benefit from over 75 years of generator manufacturing experience.
