Description
A proper site generator with the JCB name on it, at a size one person can wheel about. The G3600P gives you 3.2kW continuous from a 224cc JCB engine, 230V and 110V sockets, and a 15-litre tank good for up to 13 hours at half load. It rides on puncture-proof tyres inside a 32mm steel frame.
✔ Authorised UK reseller ✔ Free delivery to mainland UK ✔ Prices include VAT ✔ 3-year warranty (1 year commercial)
Why buyers choose the G3600P
- Made for UK sites. A 115V 16A socket for site tools and lights, plus a 230V 16A socket and a 12V 8.3A DC outlet.
- Long running for its size. The 15-litre tank gives up to 13 hours at 50% load.
- No flat tyres. Solid, puncture-proof tyres and a heavy-duty 32mm tubular steel frame.
- Steady, protected power. AVR keeps the voltage steady and built-in overload protection guards the generator and your tools.
- Simple to run. A 4-stroke engine, so there's no fuel mixing, and a heavy-duty recoil start.
Is it right for you?
Ideal for: trades and small building jobs, smallholdings and allotments, market stalls, and backing up a few essentials in a power cut.
Look elsewhere if: you want key start, in which case see the Senci SC4000-II. For more power, the JCB G8000PE is the big brother. For laptops and sensitive electronics, or for quiet running, choose from our inverter generators.
What will it run?
Plan around the 3.2kW continuous output. The 3.6kW maximum is for short bursts, such as a motor starting. The 115V 16A socket can supply up to about 1.8kW, and the 230V 16A socket covers the full output.
| Appliance or tool | Typical running watts |
|---|---|
| Fridge freezer (higher start-up draw) | 150 to 300W |
| Central heating pump and boiler electrics | 100 to 200W |
| LED site or household lighting | 100 to 300W |
| SDS drill (110V) | 800 to 1,500W |
| Microwave (800W cooking power) | around 1,200W |
| Kettle | 2,500 to 3,000W: on its own only |
| Electric shower | 7,500W and up: too much for this generator |
Example: fridge freezer 200W + boiler electrics 150W + lights 150W + TV 100W + microwave 1,200W comes to about 1,800W, which leaves around 1,400W 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's a pull-start machine, so someone needs to start it during a power cut.
Getting it running
- Add the correct engine oil and check the level before the first start.
- Fill with fresh unleaded petrol. It's a 4-stroke, so don't mix oil into the fuel.
- At 50kg it wheels easily, but use two people to lift it into a vehicle.
- The sockets are 16A industrial-style, so most site tools plug straight in. You'll need a suitable adaptor for household 13A plugs.
- Start it with no load attached and let it settle before plugging in.
Delivery note: JCB generators can take a little longer to arrive than other brands. If you need one by a certain date, please contact us before ordering and we'll confirm availability.

FAQs
Does it have electric start? No, this model uses a heavy-duty recoil pull start.
Can I run a kettle? Yes, a 3kW kettle will run on its own, but it uses almost all of the 3.2kW output, so switch off other large loads first.
How long will a tank last? Up to 13 hours at half load. One owner reported around 6 hours on half a tank, in line with that.
Is it quiet? It's quoted at 70 dB(A) at 7m, which is fine on site but too loud for close neighbours or a campsite. An inverter generator is the better choice for those.
Not sure it's the right size? Send us your appliance list at sales@generator-uk.co.uk or call 01744 520110, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and we'll help you size it.
Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling.
