Zipper ZI-STE2800 2.8 kW Petrol Generator, 4-Stroke OHV, 15L Tank, 2x Schuko

Delivering 2.8 kVA maximum power from a rugged 196 cm³ 4-stroke OHV engine, the Zipper ZI-STE2800 generator keeps tools and appliances running through outages, on construction sites, or at remote events. A 15-litre fuel tank supports up to 7.5 hours of continuous operation at two-thirds load, so you refuel less and work more.

Overview

The ZI-STE2800 is a portable petrol generator built around a reliable 1-cylinder, 4-stroke OHV engine producing 4.8 kW (6.5 HP). It converts that mechanical power into clean 230 V AC electricity via a synchronous alternator, with dual Schuko sockets for connecting multiple devices. A separate 12 V / 8.3 A DC output charges batteries or powers low-voltage equipment. Manual pull start, low-oil shutdown, and overload protection keep operation straightforward and safe.

What stands out

• 2.8 kVA peak and 2.5 kVA continuous output – enough for power tools, pumps, or emergency backup.
• Large 15 L fuel tank extends runtime to approximately 7.5 hours at 2/3 load.
• Dual 230 V Schuko sockets and a 12 V DC output cover most common power needs.
• Low-oil shutdown automatically stops the engine to prevent damage.
• IP23M protection rating means the generator resists water spray and small objects.
