Pramac

Buy new and second-hand Pramac generators and forklift trucks – a wide selection of generators and warehouse equipment directly from specialist retailers. We stock Pramac products in two categories: diesel and petrol generators in the ‘Power Generators’ category – ranging from portable units in the ES series to sound-insulated GSW generators rated at around 110 kVA – and industrial trucks from the ‘Lifter by Pramac’ range in the ‘Pallet Trucks’ category. Each listing specifies the year of manufacture, power output or load capacity, and the condition of the unit. Supplied by Kraus Baumaschinen in Frankenthal and Zoch in Aidenbach; stock is constantly changing. This page features machinery from the manufacturer Pramac – not the Pramac Racing motorbike racing team.

Pramac at a glance

Pramac is based in Casole d’Elsa in the province of Siena (Tuscany). The company’s history began in 1966, when the Campinoti family founded a business specialising in construction equipment. Today, according to the company, Pramac is represented in more than 150 countries, with 16 branches and 7 factories in Europe, Asia and South America, as well as around 1,100 employees, of whom about ten per cent are engineers. Pramac is part of the US group Generac Power Systems and, in the field of mobile lighting masts, also operates under the Generac Mobile brand.

The product range includes generators for industry, the hire sector, telecommunications and professional manual use; lighting towers (since 1997, more than 20 models); energy storage systems for commercial and industrial use; and warehouse equipment under the name Lifter by Pramac: hand pallet trucks, semi-electric and electric pallet trucks, and high-lift pallet trucks. Most recently, a division for driverless transport solutions – Lifter Mobile Robotics – was added.

What the Pramac model designation reveals

The naming convention for the GB-GS series of industrial generators is straightforward: GBW and GSW denote the series; the number roughly indicates the power class in kVA – a GBW10 or GSW10 delivers around 9 kVA of continuous power (PRP) – and the suffix usually indicates the engine manufacturer: P for Perkins, Y for Yanmar. A GSW10Y is therefore a generator from the GSW series with a Yanmar engine. For portable units, the letter denotes the series (E, ES, S, PX, P), whilst the number roughly indicates the power class. In warehouse equipment, GS models are hand pallet trucks; in our adverts, HX stands for scissor lift trucks, QX and EY for electric pallet trucks, and GX, TX and NX for high-lift trucks. The figures on the type plate remain the authoritative reference.

What we look for in a second-hand Pramac

Engine and operating hours for power units: The operating hours of the diesel engine and the maintenance records are crucial. As Pramac fits engines from various manufacturers, the advert should specify the engine type – this makes sourcing spare parts and servicing easier.

Test run under load: Check the voltage and frequency under load; look out for smoke, oil leaks and the coolant level. Safety devices, sockets, the emergency stop and the control unit should function perfectly; for use on a construction site, ensure a DGUV inspection certificate is provided.

Enclosure, tank and transport: Check the soundproof enclosure, insulation and lifting points for damage; check the tank for water and contamination. For portable units, check the frame, starting system and, for inverter models, the electronics.

Pallet trucks: Check the hydraulic pump for leaks, the forks for deformation, and the steering and load rollers for wear. For electric pallet trucks and the HX10E scissor lift truck, check the battery condition, the charger and the operation of the lifting and safety devices.
