Rolling 12-Volt Power Provider
If you need portable 12-volt power, Glendale Repair has a simple solution with their handy 2-wheel power unit. Owner Steven Zook married a 4-hp. Honda engine to an alternator and mounted it on a 2-wheel push cart. Although they sell it as a portable battery charger, it finds lots of uses, says Zook.
    “A welding shop in the area uses theirs for welding,” he says. “A tractor repair shop has one just to jump-start tractors. A lot of our customers just use them around the farm, in the woods when logging, or at construction sites.”
    Zook built his first one for use in his own shop. After 7 years and multiple redesigns, he is pleased with what has evolved. He uses larger pulleys to run the alternator at a good rate of speed so the unit always runs cool.
    The heavy-duty unit is priced at $1,080. A 12-volt carry unit is available for the same price. Glendale also offers a carry-style 12/24-volt unit with a 6 1/2 hp. Honda engine. Zook asks customers to call for pricing on that unit.
