2021 WINCO Catalog
Great Things Are Happening in our Service Department!
As we grow, we want to ensure that we can have the right support for our customers.
Our main focus is to provide faster response times and add more depth to our after sales support, through cross training and increased capacity.
Starting January 1st, 2021, we will be adding Dan Curran to our full time After Sales Support Team.
Let’s meet Dan.
Dan worked for 20 years in the marine and overhead hoist/crane industry. 6 of those years as a technician and a service advisor in the marine industry. In the crane world, he was a technician, service manager, and a licensed crane operator.
He has been with WINCO for almost 2 years now. Adding his knowledge of generators to his extensive field service experience, made him the right person to add to our After Sales Support Team.
Working along with Dan is Dale Riebel and Dwight Kramer. Dale’s primary focus is part support, while Dwight will be focusing on warranty support.
Stay posted for other exciting changes WINCO will be implementing in 2021!

WINCO – Bringing More Power
Introducing the expanded DR line!
With improvements to our facility’s capabilities, we have expanded our diesel line by offering new Volvo powered models. This provides more power without the need of paralleling two units. The four new models provide 450kW, 500kW, 550kW, and 600kW.
The Engine
VOLVO
16L, Tier II
When designing these units, we needed a strong, dependable engine brand that could carry the load demand. Volvo has 100 years of industrial engine experience. These engines are built with prime power durability, even though the EPA doesn’t allow them for prime applications.
Features
Optional Housing
Our housing has a 77 Dba rating, the best you will find with standard housing.
LED Lighting
Standard on all housed units, automatic LED lighting makes servicing easier.
Heavy Duty Stamford PMG
The PMG allows power to the AVR to be kept near constant. This allows the AVR to quickly recover the voltage of the generator back to its nominal preset value.
Paralleling Options
These units come with paralleling options. Paralleling allows you to quote large projects while being cost effective. The DSE8610 MKII controller represents the latest in complex load sharing & synchronizing control technology. The module has been designed to allow the operator to start, stop and synchronize the generator. If required, transfer the load to the generator either manually or automatically.
Find the right 450kW – 600kW diesel standby for your project here. You will also find spec sheets, engine information and more by going to their product pages.
As I always say “Unleash the Power”!
