FULL DESCRIPTION
Gorilla Power GP8000iE — 8000W Petrol Inverter Generator
High performance & fuel efficient. Clean true-sine output with 8000W max / 7500W running, Economy Mode, and electric / recoil / wireless remote start. Rugged 64 kg chassis with a large 25 L tank for site power, home backup and events.
🔎 Where This Model Sits in the Gorilla Power Range
From ultra-portable inverters to large dual-fuel & diesel sets — this GP8000iE is a high-capacity petrol inverter for running more items at once with headroom for motor start surges.
💡 Key Features
- 8000W max / 7500W running — power multiple heavy loads simultaneously.
- True sine-wave inverter — safe for laptops, TVs & sensitive electronics.
- Economy Mode — lower fuel use & noise at light load.
- Electric, recoil & wireless remote start — flexible convenience.
- Large 25 L tank — extended runtime for long shifts & outages.
- Low-oil shut-off — engine protection built-in.
Higher running watts = more devices at once (sum of running ≤ 7.5 kW) and capacity to absorb larger single start surges.
🔌 Sockets & Inputs — Front Panel at a Glance
Standard BS 1363 outlet for appliances & tools.
For higher-draw kit & long cable runs.
Feeds a distribution board or one large load.
Added safety & compliance.
⚡ Running vs. Starting Watts — Know the Difference
Typical values — always check your device label. Larger generators let you run more items at once; add up running watts and keep the single largest start surge within headroom.
