| Published weight | 41.5 kg net / 45.5 kg gross |
Technical interpretation for dealer enquiries
The two rated outputs are alternate frequency configurations, not simultaneous available power. The 50% load runtime is a quoted result, not a substitute for an independent fuel-consumption curve. The socket panel must be matched to the target market rather than assumed from the EU-type sockets shown in the listing.
ISO 8528-1 covers generator rating classifications and ISO 8528-5:2025 provides generating-set performance criteria. ISO 8528-10 concerns noise measurement. These standards are given for technical context; no certification or test-result claim is made for this particular MLBE unit.

Portable Petrol Generator for Field and Backup Power
The MLBE ML2500 series is a compact open-frame petrol generator designed for portable electricity on farms, work sites, workshops and backup-power applications. Depending on frequency configuration, rated output is 2.0 or 2.3 kW and maximum output is 2.2 or 2.5 kW.
The 196cc ML168F(E) engine is paired with a 100% copper-wound brush alternator and AVR voltage regulation. A 13-litre fuel tank supports up to approximately 12 hours of operation at 50% load under the specified test conditions.
Configurable for Different Markets
Single-phase 110V or 220V configurations and 50Hz or 60Hz versions are available. The panel includes two EU-type sockets, DC output, a three-in-one digital meter, circuit breaker and low-oil warning. Recoil and electric-start variants are available, with wheel-and-handle options for transport.

ML2500 Series FAQ
What is the rated output of the MLBE ML2500 series?
The series is rated at 2.0 kW at 50 Hz or 2.3 kW at 60 Hz, with maximum output of 2.2 or 2.5 kW depending on configuration.
Which engine is used?
The ML2500 series uses the ML168F(E) 196cc petrol engine.
How long can it run at half load?
The specified running time is up to approximately 12 hours at 50% load with the 13-litre fuel tank.
Can importers order different voltage and frequency versions?
Yes. The page lists 110V or 220V single-phase configurations and 50Hz or 60Hz versions. Buyers should confirm the exact target-market configuration before ordering.
Preparing a portable-power order for ML2500
For ML2500 and ML2500(E), prepare a list of the equipment that will run together and identify appliances with a starting surge. Match the quoted voltage and frequency to those loads. A frequency-dependent output figure should always be read with the corresponding electrical configuration.
Configuration checklist
- List the equipment that must run together and identify motor or compressor starting demand.
- Specify voltage, frequency, phase, sockets and the required starting system; separate standard equipment from options.
- Include transport accessories, battery where applicable and the required model-specific service-parts package in the written order.
Does the optional transport kit change the power rating?
No. Wheels and a handle concern movement and handling. Treat the transport kit, starting system and electrical panel as separate order choices, and confirm whether the battery and each accessory are included.
Operation and service planning
Operate portable combustion generators outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents, with exhaust directed away from occupied areas. Never connect a generator to a building through a wall socket. A building connection requires a qualified electrician and suitable transfer equipment. Stop and cool the engine before refuelling.
For the applicable operating instructions or parts reference, send the complete model and production identification to MLBE technical support. The MLBE document centre helps identify the relevant resources. Confirm document revision, included accessories, packaging and agreed support terms for the supplied configuration.
