Honda EM5500S 5KW Multi-Purpose Industrial Petrol Generator

Unleash Reliable Power with the Honda EM5500S Industrial Generator

The Honda EM5500S is a robust, commercial‑grade petrol generator delivering up to 5500 W maximum power and 5,000 W continuous output - engineered to meet the needs of professionals working in demanding environments. At the core of the EM5500S lies Honda’s advanced Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator plus Electronic Governor (i‑AVR) system. This intelligent technology ensures voltage stability within approximately ±1%, even under sudden load changes, making it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, compressors, power tools, and IT equipment during site work or emergency operations.

Driven by the legendary Honda GX390 OHV 389 cc engine, the EM5500S offers exceptional fuel efficiency and durability. With its substantial 25 litre fuel tank, it can operate continuously for up to 8 hours at half load—perfect for extended outdoor use or backup power. Starting is straightforward with electric key start, backed up by a reliable recoil system. Despite its power, noise output remains relatively low for its class, at around 70–77 dB(A) measured at 7 m.

Built for industrial resilience, this generator is housed in a heavy-duty tubular steel frame with anti-vibration mounts and an optional wheel/transport kit. Safety features include oil-alert shutdown, idle control to reduce fuel use at light loads, and thermal overload protection.

Fitted sockets include:

  • 1 × 110 V / 16 A socket
  • 1 × 110 V / 32 A socket
  • 1 × 230 V / 32 A industrial socket

These ensure compatibility with a broad range of equipment used across UK sites and field operations .

This generator is ideally suited for heavy-duty applications such as construction, engineering, event power, agricultural machinery, and home/business standby use. It delivers professional-grade output where clean, reliable electricity is required off-grid or under uncertain power supply conditions.

The Honda EM5500S is covered by a 5‑year warranty for domestic use (one year for commercial/professional use), backed by Honda’s UK authorised dealer network and straightforward access to genuine Honda parts and accessories .

Suitable For

  • Industrial lighting
  • Sensitive power tools
  • Industrial applications
  • General construction equipment
  • Emergency power applications

As per Honda's recommendation we will remove the new generator from the box and start & test, this gives you the confidence that you should not experience any problems when receiving your order. We can also personally deliver your product (mainland England and Wales). Please see options at checkout.

Unrivalled Warranty

Honda's products are built better to last longer. That's why we can offer you a rock-solid warranty for domestic and professional use on our core range products, covering both parts and labour. The warranty also maintains the same value throughout the warranty period - meaning the last day of cover is exactly the same as the first.

*Subject to domestic/professional use and following the service schedule

Honda Engineering For Life

Honda Motor Company Limited is a Japanese public multinational corporation primarily known as a manufacturer of cars, motorcycles and power equipment. Honda is also the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. The company has assembly plants around the globe.

It was back in September 1978 when Honda launched their very first lawn mower in Europe. At that time, standard 2-stroke technology dominated the market, providing noisy, dirty engines that were difficult to maintain. So Honda fitted their lawn mowers with ground-breaking 4-stroke engines; setting new standards of performance, reliability and safety, but they didn’t stop with the engines.

Honda's aim has always been to constantly improve in all areas of design, so they built in hard-wearing durability and long-lasting performance at every stage of the process, from cast iron cylinder sleeves and ball bearings to support the crankshaft, to aerodynamic cutter decks with nylon grass bags for improved airflow and more efficient collection.

For years, Honda have built all their lawn, garden and power equipment around clean 4-stroke engine technology. That’s because they’re committed to making their products as user-friendly, fuel-efficient and reliable as they can, without compromising performance.

Today, Honda have harnessed their design and technology expertise to create a versatile repertoire of lawn, garden and power products from lawn mowers and brush cutters through generators and water pumps to tillers and snow throwers. Their patented Roto-stop feature is their latest benchmark in design, providing complete safety and peace of mind by allowing users to stop their lawn mower blades turning without switching the engine off.

In short, Honda products are quite simply the crème de la crème of garden machinery and power equipment.
