The MultiQuip GAW180HEA sets the industry standard for versatility and portability in the 180-amp welder class. By utilizing a compact permanent magnet alternator design, MultiQuip has significantly reduced the weight of this unit without compromising on performance, making it an ideal choice for remote job sites and service trucks. Powered by the legendary Honda GX340 gasoline engine, this welder/generator provides reliable, easy-starting power in even the toughest environments. The integrated Inverter technology ensures precise sine-wave control, delivering cleaner, higher-quality AC and DC output that professional contractors demand.
Beyond its welding capabilities, the GAW180HEA is a true dual-purpose workhorse. It produces a robust 3,000 watts of Single-Phase AC power, allowing operators to run lights, grinders, and other essential tools. Uniquely, this unit allows for simultaneous operation, meaning you can weld and draw AC power at the same time, increasing productivity on the job. With advanced features like Arc Force Control, operators can fine-tune DC current during low-voltage conditions to prevent electrode sticking, ensuring a smooth, professional bead every time.

Pro-Tip: When using the generator for simultaneous welding and power, calculate your load carefully. While the unit can do both, heavy welding at 180 amps will reduce the available AC wattage for auxiliary tools. For best performance, use the Arc Force control to stabilize your arc when running near the top of the duty cycle.
