Diesel Generators

GPR is the fastest growing Perkins distributor in Western Canada. We have committed to a large inventory of skid mount generator packages and complete engines and parts. Perkins (powerpart) gives GPR access to over 50,000 parts and exchange units.

Liquid/Natural Gas Generators

Custom built natural gas and propane gensets. A long history with Lister Natural Gas and now a partnership with Ford Industrial completes GPR’s  ability to offer a comprehensive product line of quality diesel and natural gas power generation packages.

Generator windings are often exposed to the elements and can be very contaminated.  Performing regular maintenance with steam cleaning, baking, installing new bearings and re-varnishing the windings may add years of trouble free life to your prime power or standby generator set.
