Makinex 16,000 Watt Gas-Powered Portable Generator GEN-16P-MS-240
The Makinex 16,000 Watt Gas-Powered Portable Generator GEN-16P-MS-240 is a compact, high-output generator designed to provide reliable portable power for demanding construction, industrial, and rental applications. It combines single-phase and three-phase power in one machine, allowing users to operate a variety of equipment from a single generator.
Powered by a Honda GX690 688cc twin-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine and equipped with a radial-flux alternator, the generator delivers up to 16.8 kW of three-phase power, with 15 kW of continuous output. Its compact frame is designed to make transportation and positioning easier than a conventional tow-behind generator.
Key Features
16 kW-class output: Provides substantial power for demanding tools and equipment.
16.8 kW maximum three-phase output: Provides additional capacity for starting and high-demand loads.
15 kW continuous three-phase output: Suitable for sustained operation within the generator's rated limits.
Single- and three-phase outlets: Allows different types of equipment to operate from the same generator.
Honda GX690 engine: Uses a proven 688cc twin-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine.
Radial-flux alternator: Designed to provide high power density and efficient power generation.
Electric key start: Makes starting the generator straightforward.
9-gallon fuel tank: Provides substantial fuel capacity for extended operation.
Paralleling capability: Allows compatible generator units to be connected for additional power capacity.
Compact footprint: Designed to occupy less space than traditional tow-behind generators.
Galvanized frame: Provides durable protection for demanding jobsite environments.
Portable configuration: Designed for easier movement around construction sites and loading on and off vehicles.
72 dB no-load noise level at 7 meters: Provides a relatively controlled operating noise level for a generator in this power class.
Flexible Single- and Three-Phase Power
One of the main advantages of the GEN-16P-MS-240 is its ability to provide 120V single-phase and 240V three-phase power. This makes it possible to operate different equipment from one portable power source rather than bringing separate generators for different electrical requirements.
The generator is particularly useful for equipment such as:
Floor grinders
Welders
Brick saws
Air compressors
Concrete equipment
Masonry equipment
Heavy-duty power tools
Construction-site equipment
Makinex specifically positions the 16kW generator for rental yards, construction sites, rural locations, and applications requiring portable power for demanding equipment.
Honda GX690 Engine
The generator is powered by a Honda GX690 gasoline engine with 688cc displacement. Its twin-cylinder, air-cooled configuration provides the mechanical power needed to drive the generator's alternator under demanding electrical loads.
An electric key-start system eliminates the need for manual recoil starting and makes operation more convenient for professional users.
Efficient, Compact Power
Makinex uses a radial-flux permanent-magnet alternator in this generator platform. The manufacturer states that the alternator design provides approximately 15% more power from the same engine size compared with conventional generator configurations, while improving power density and keeping the overall machine compact.
This compact design is particularly useful on construction sites where space is limited and equipment must frequently be moved between work areas.
Fuel Capacity and Runtime
The GEN-16P-MS-240 has a 9-gallon fuel tank. Makinex lists fuel consumption at approximately 0.92 gallons per hour at 50% load. Actual runtime varies depending on connected equipment, load level, operating conditions, and fuel quality.
The generator is designed for gasoline operation. Makinex also provides documentation for a propane-conversion option, but the conversion configuration should be verified separately before listing it as included equipment.

Specifications are based on Makinex's official GEN-16P-US-240 documentation and current product information.
Outlet Configuration
The GEN-16P-MS-240 provides multiple connection options for different equipment requirements. Makinex's product catalog identifies 50A three-phase, 50A three/single-phase, and 20A GFCI single-phase receptacle configurations for the 16kW 240V model.
This combination allows users to connect heavy three-phase equipment alongside compatible single-phase tools and auxiliary loads, subject to the generator's total rated capacity and outlet limitations.
Ideal Applications
The Makinex 16,000 Watt Portable Generator is well suited for:
Construction sites
Concrete contractors
Flooring contractors
Masonry projects
Welding applications
Equipment rental yards
Rural job sites
Industrial maintenance
Operating floor grinders
Running brick saws
Powering air compressors
Heavy-duty power-tool applications
Compact Jobsite Design
At approximately 342 lbs. dry weight, the GEN-16P-MS-240 is considerably more compact than many conventional tow-behind generators in a similar power class. Its dimensions of approximately 30.4 × 20.8 × 35.5 inches allow it to fit into tighter work areas and make loading and transportation more practical.
The galvanized frame is designed for durability, while the compact footprint makes it easier to position the generator closer to the equipment requiring power.
Paralleling Capability
For applications requiring more electrical capacity, Makinex identifies paralleling capability as a feature of the 16kW generator. Compatible units can be connected in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to increase available power.
Paralleling should only be performed using compatible equipment and the manufacturer's approved procedure.
Why Choose the Makinex GEN-16P-MS-240?
