Description
6kW of continuous power, two 110V site outlets, and a key to start it. The Ford FG9250E Q Series is the one to pick when you need a generator that works as hard on site as it does at home. You get electric start with the battery included, a 25-litre tank, and 110V and 230V outlets on the same panel.
✔ Authorised UK reseller ✔ Free delivery to mainland UK ✔ Prices include VAT ✔ Up to 3-year Ford warranty
Why buyers choose the FG9250E
- Battery included. The 12V 9Ah battery gives you key start, with a recoil cord as back-up.
- Made for UK sites. Two 115V 32A outlets for site tools plus one 230V 32A outlet, and both voltages can be used at the same time.
- A long day on one tank. 25 litres gives around 13.5 to 14 hours at half load, or about 8 hours at full load.
- See what it's doing. A digital 3-in-1 meter shows voltage, frequency and running time, which makes servicing easy to track.
- Engine and circuit protection. A low-oil sensor and circuit breaker guard the generator, and AVR keeps the voltage steady.
- Tyres that can't go flat. Never-flat PU foam tyres, so there's no puncture to deal with on a rough site.
Is it right for you?
Ideal for: builders and trades who need 110V and 230V together, farms and smallholdings, and home backup for essentials with some capacity to spare.
Look elsewhere if: 5kW is enough, in which case the Ford FG7750E is the size down. For more capacity, see the Ford FG11050E. At 72 dB(A) this is not a quiet machine, so for campsites or close neighbours choose from our inverter generators.
What will it run?
Plan around the 6kW continuous output. The 6.5kW maximum is for short bursts, such as a motor starting.
| Appliance | Typical running watts |
|---|---|
| Fridge freezer (higher start-up draw) | 150 to 300W |
| Central heating pump and boiler electrics | 100 to 200W |
| LED lighting for a whole house | 100 to 300W |
| Microwave (800W cooking power) | around 1,200W |
| Kettle | 2,500 to 3,000W |
| Angle grinder or circular saw (higher start-up draw) | 1,200 to 2,000W |
| Site lighting tower head | 300 to 500W |
| Electric shower | 7,500W and up: too much for this generator |
Example: fridge freezer 200W + boiler electrics 150W + lights 200W + TV 100W + kettle 3,000W + microwave 1,200W comes to about 4,850W, which leaves around 1,150W in hand. Check the rating plates on your own appliances, as figures vary.
Using it for home backup
Never plug a generator into a house socket. To power household circuits, have a qualified electrician fit a manual changeover switch so that the generator and the mains can never be connected together. It doesn't support automatic start, so someone needs to start it during a power cut.
Getting it running
- Add engine oil before the first start: 1.0 litre of 5W-30 or 10W-30. The low-oil sensor will not let you run it short.
- It weighs 86kg empty and about 95kg fuelled, so two people are needed to lift it into a vehicle.
- Connect the battery if it is supplied disconnected, and start with no load attached.
- The outlets are 32A industrial-style sockets, so use matching plugs or a suitable splitter box.

FAQs
Is the battery included? Yes, a 12V 9Ah battery comes with it.
Can I use 110V and 230V at the same time? Yes, but the combined load must stay within the generator's rating, and dual-voltage sets usually give only part of their output on the lower voltage. Tell us which tools you plan to run and we'll check it.
How does the warranty work? Ford's terms give 3 years or 1,000 hours for home and leisure use, with parts, return-to-base labour and return carriage in year one and parts only in years two and three. Commercial use is 1 year or 1,000 hours. Ford's product page asks you to register within 30 days for the full 3 years, otherwise cover is 2 years, so register to be safe. Hire use and use as a primary power source instead of the mains aren't covered. See Ford's full warranty terms.
Will it run sensitive electronics? AVR keeps the voltage steady, but an inverter generator gives cleaner power. For computers, use an inverter or suitable surge protection.

Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling.
