MILWAUKEE, April 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation introduces a new durable and
corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure for its standby generator
systems, specifically designed to withstand extreme weather
conditions, including hurricane-force winds up to 175 mph.
"The new exterior is designed with residents living in coastal
regions in mind," said Brian
Northway, product manager for Briggs & Stratton standby
power. "The Atlantic and Gulf coastlines are regions that can be
especially corrosive on outdoor appliances and equipment because of
the strong winds, high humidity and salt air, and these new
enclosures prevent damage from those outside elements."
Homeowners now have the option to upgrade from the standard
steel enclosure to the new corrosion-resistant aluminum exterior
and stainless steel base. The new aluminum unit will be offered on
both the Briggs & Stratton and Briggs & Stratton Fortress
brand for 20kW1 standby generator systems.
Briggs & Stratton standby generators come standard with
impeccable warranties for lasting protection for the full life of
the warranty2. The new Fortress line of standby
generators offers the industry's leading limited warranty of
6-years parts, labor and travel*.
For any questions about the newest line of commercial standby
generators, the technical support team is available at
800-759-2744. For information on Briggs & Stratton's standby
