Product Description

Doubles as an Auxiliary Power Hub

Generates the Power You Need

This multipurpose unit not only does duty as a welder, but also works hard as a generator, as well. Delivering up to 11,000 Watts of generator power, this unit is more than capable of running tools and worklights, or acting as backup power during an outage.

Multiple Outlet Access

The generator includes four 120V (20 Amp) GFCI-protected outlets, one 240V (NEMA 6-50R) 50 Amp receptacle, and one 120/240V (NEMA 14-50R) 50 Amp receptacle with pushbutton reset circuit breakers, allowing you to safely run multiple tools and accessories at once.

Engine-Driven Performance

This portable unit relies on a smooth 23 HP Kohler® twin cylinder, 4-cycle OHV engine to deliver exceptional performance. The engine is fully enclosed in a protective case that reduces noise for super quiet operation, and provides added weather protection for outdoor use.

Quietly Uses Less Gas

The fuel-efficient motor features an extra-large 12-gallon fuel capacity and can run up to 14 hours on a full tank of gas under a continuous load of 4,000 Watts. The auto-idle feature provides even more fuel savings and also helps to further reduce noise output.

Loaded with Handy Extras

Servicing an engine can sometimes slip through the cracks, but "no tools" oil changes make that task quicker and easier. A built-in digital hour meter also assists you in keeping current on scheduled maintenance, and sight gauges make it easy to check fluid levels.

Goes Wherever You Need It

Built to Handle Whatever You Dish Out

This heavy-duty generator/welder is the dependable mobile source you need for on-site projects. The fully enclosed engine design, large battery and rugged electrical connections and wiring are designed to handle the toughest working conditions.

Get Hooked on the Top Hanger

When the work day is done you don't want to just leave your Champion Elite unattended at the site. An extra strong, built-in top loop adds the rugged attachment point you need to lift the unit with a crane so you can load it into your truck, or store it safely elevated off the ground until it's time to punch the clock again.

Smaller, Lighter Design

The compact Hobart Champion Elite is just under 3 1/2ft. long, measuring 41in.L x 20in.W x 28in.H, and weighs less than most comparable units, making it the perfect choice for portable applications. This unit's not only easy to transport, but also easy to use once you get there!

Don't Forget the Extras

You can add an optional running gear wheel kit (Item# 42541, sold separately) to make this unit even more mobile. And don't forget, the Hobart Champion Elite requires welding cables (Item#s 628510 or 628511, sold separately) for welding operation.

Goes Wherever You Need It
