Been doing occasional site jobs recently where its often a hassle to get a genny, especially if im working alone.

Is there a way of fitting a 110v hook up in the back of the landy?

It would be for running a 110v grinder, hammer drill

I know you can get 240v inverters which is on the cards anyway, could do with some advice on that one too. Looking to charge makita batteries, charge laptop/camera etc.. run a 240v grinder too.

For the most part the engine will be runnjng when in use if it makes any odds

Thanks :)

I know a guy who has one fitted to one of his works vans. I will try and get some info from him, but have a look at this for starters.

Can't remember who they were made by but we used to have PTO driven welder generators in our old fitters 110s 2X 110v power and 200+ amps on the welder.

Last one came attached to a Lister twin banger and we machined the twin V belt pulley in house for it, spun up in 4th gear 1700rpm it was golden.
 
Utility vans do that quite often, not a great pic but you can see the plugs offside rear

Have you room under the bonnet for a 240V generator, driven by a belt through a dog clutch?
If you have, then all you would need is a 240-110 transformet then, problem solved and the job's a good 'un.
 
Might as well have 240v sockets (blue 16A ones) onboard and just use a portable transformer if you need 110v. Presumably you have one already for 110v tools.

If you wanted to be clever with the belt drive idea, salvage the clutched pulley from a knackered air con compressor and put 12v through it to engage the generator. Would be neater and just needs a switch on the dashboard.
 
Just get some yellow cable. I’ve never seen a H&S tosser with a voltmeter. Probably because there might be a sunspot that boosts a signal that makes a radio bleep that shocks a pigeon that lifts suddenly in front of a labourer that drops his tea that breaks his cup that bounces on a scaffolding board that nudges a brick that falls and splits a cement bag that puffs over a designated walkway that makes him slip and the two little prongs stick through his trouser pocket creating eight months of paperwork and a smear of germaleen.
 
****ing brilliant hahahaha

I reckon ill go for a decent pure sine 2000w+ 240v inverter and just use my 240v tools when needed. I looked at the 110v boxes and they run £450+! Dont need to be that convenient lol

Be nice to be able to charge my batteries on the way to and from work!

Its mainly as I often get sent off to do the final touches on large oak and larch framed structures which often need sanding and adjusting to comply with various things. Renting a genny takes up time for a what is generally a half day quick job.
