Find Your Generator Size
Compare the Horton mobile diesel generator lineup by model, power output, runtime, engine, and continuous engine horsepower. Final sizing should be based on connected load, starting surge, voltage, phase, runtime target, jobsite conditions, and whether the project requires one generator or a paralleled system.

How to Choose the Right Horton Generator
| Selection Factor | What to Know | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Total connected load | Add up equipment, pumps, tools, lighting, trailers, HVAC, compressors, and jobsite loads. | Defines the baseline generator size. |
| Starting surge | Identify motors, pumps, compressors, HVAC, and high-inrush equipment. | Prevents undersizing, voltage dip, and nuisance shutdowns. |
| Voltage and phase | Confirm 120/240 V, 208 V, 480 V, single-phase, or three-phase needs. | Ensures the generator matches the equipment being powered. |
| Runtime target | Decide how long the unit needs to run between refueling. | Helps compare fuel capacity and runtime by model. |
| Mobility | Choose trailer, skid, or 20-ft container configuration. | Matches site access, transport, rental, and deployment needs. |
| Application | Construction, dredging, mining, utilities, telecom, municipal, events, rental, oilfield. | Narrows the likely model range and required features. |
| Paralleling need | Determine whether one generator or multiple synchronized units are required. | Supports redundancy, higher output, and load sharing. |

Horton Mobile Generator FAQs
What is a mobile generator?
A mobile generator is a self-contained diesel power unit with an engine, alternator, cooling system, electrical distribution, and controls in a trailer, skid, or portable enclosure so it can move between sites.
What size mobile generator do I need?
Size the generator to the total connected load plus starting surge, voltage, phase, runtime target, and jobsite conditions. Horton models range from 20 kW / 25 kVA to 560 kW / 700 kVA.
Can mobile generators operate off-grid?
Yes. Horton mobile diesel generators are designed for prime and off-grid power on remote jobsites, dredging projects, mining sites, oilfield operations, and temporary infrastructure.
How long can Horton generators run continuously?
Runtime depends on the model and load. Several Horton models provide over 40 hours of runtime, with the Horton 250 rated up to 44 hours.
Can Horton generators be paralleled?
Horton generators support simple paralleling, with up to 32 units supporting up to 20 MVA of combined output when configured for paralleling.
What's the difference between prime and standby power?
Standby units provide backup during outages; prime power units run as the primary source for extended periods. Horton units are prime-power rated.
Are Horton generators towable, and how are they transported?
Yes. Trailer units attach to a standard hitch for quick towing; skid-mount and 20-ft container configurations are also available. Compact dimensions allow more units per truckload.
What information is needed for pricing?
Provide the equipment load, voltage/phase, runtime target, application, mounting preference, site conditions, and whether ATS, paralleling, or monitoring is required.
What is load bank testing?
Load bank testing applies a controlled artificial load to confirm a generator delivers its rated output and to prevent wet-stacking. Horton units support standard load bank testing during commissioning and routine maintenance.
What is generator synchronization?
Synchronization matches the voltage, frequency, and phase of multiple units so they share a load in parallel. Horton generators support simple paralleling—up to 32 units for 20 MVA of combined output.
How do automatic transfer switches work?
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) senses a loss of utility power, switches the load to the generator, and transfers back when utility power returns.
How does remote generator monitoring work?
A remote monitoring gateway or telematics platform reports fuel level, runtime, alarms, and location to a phone or desktop for proactive fleet management.
How much maintenance do Horton generators require?
Horton generators feature 500-hour minimum maintenance intervals, large service doors for easy access, and dual-stage filtration to prolong engine life.
Are Horton generators weatherproof?
Yes. The sound-attenuated canopy uses an integrated foam-and-seal door system for water tightness and a coating that passes a 1000-hour salt-spray test.
What emissions standards do Horton engines meet?
Horton generators use Tier 4 Final Isuzu, John Deere, and Volvo diesel engines.
Can I rent a mobile generator, and what does it cost?
Yes. Rental and lease options are available for Horton mobile generators. Cost depends on model size, mounting, rental term, and options such as paralleling, ATS, or monitoring. Share your load, voltage, runtime, and site location for a quote.
