Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG Engine Driven Welder Ready-Pak Kohler - K5168-1
Choose the Ranger 305 LPG welder/generator for those environments where gasoline and diesel emissions are not acceptable. Includes a liquid propane gas supply hose with coupler for easy connection to the liquid draw outlet of an LP-gas cylinder. The 10,000-watt peak single-phase AC generator powers motor starting, tools and inverter welders for extended range and process capability.
Experience environmentally-friendly welding power with the Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG, the industry-leading propane-powered welding generator designed specifically for applications where conventional fuel emissions are restricted or prohibited. This specialized multi-process welder delivers exceptional performance across stick, TIG, MIG, and flux-cored applications while producing significantly lower emissions than comparable gasoline or diesel units, making it ideal for indoor construction, sensitive environmental zones, and clean air requirement areas. The professional-grade system includes a complete ready-pak configuration with integrated liquid propane connection system for seamless integration with standard LP cylinders, providing contractors and maintenance teams with a turnkey solution for environmentally-conscious welding operations.
Engineered for superior welding performance in demanding applications, the Ranger 305 LPG incorporates Lincoln's exclusive Chopper Technology to deliver exceptional arc characteristics across all welding processes. The system provides precise 300-amp welding capability with 25V output—unique among compact LPG welders in North America—ensuring sufficient power for challenging pipe welding, structural fabrication, and repair operations. The digital weld meters display actual amperage and voltage values, allowing operators to precisely pre-set procedures and continuously monitor output parameters during operation. With CV wire capability supporting electrodes up to 5/64-inch (2.0 mm) diameter, the system handles demanding production requirements while maintaining excellent bead appearance and minimal spatter across diverse material thicknesses.
Beyond its impressive welding capabilities, the Ranger 305 LPG functions as a robust power generation system with 10,000 watts peak and 9,000 watts continuous output—sufficient for operating Lincoln Electric inverter welders, power tools, lighting systems, and emergency backup power scenarios. Powered by a high-performance 25 HP Kohler OHV Command LPG engine, the system delivers reliable operation with stable 120V and 240V output regardless of welding dial settings. The propane-based operation eliminates the need for gasoline storage and transportation while substantially reducing hydrocarbon emissions and environmental impact. Built to withstand extreme conditions with outputs rated at 104°F (40°C), this rugged welding generator provides consistent performance in challenging environments while meeting increasingly stringent emissions requirements for sensitive work locations. For contractors requiring environmentally responsible welding solutions without sacrificing capability or reliability, the Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG Ready-Pak represents the ultimate clean-energy portable welding and power generation system.
