Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.
Common Questions
Custom Generator Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom generator covers used for?
Custom generator covers protect commercial and industrial generators from rain, snow, wind, dust, and debris. They also improve equipment longevity by preventing corrosion and keeping generators clean when not in use.
Which materials are available?
You can choose between 12oz vinyl (medium duty), 18oz vinyl (heavy duty), and 600D polyester (light duty). Vinyl is ideal for outdoor exposure, while polyester is best for indoor or shaded environments.
Which vinyl thickness is best: 12oz or 18oz?
12oz vinyl is great for regular weather and light-duty protection. 18oz vinyl is recommended for harsher conditions like heavy rain, snow, and high winds. Most customers choose 18oz for its maximum durability.
Are the covers waterproof?
Yes. Vinyl covers are fully waterproof and shield generators from heavy rain and snow. Polyester covers are water resistant and suitable for indoor or mild outdoor use.
Are the covers UV and weather resistant?
Yes. Vinyl covers block UV rays and resist cracking, fading, and tearing under sunlight. They also hold up against wind and extreme weather, making them ideal for outdoor use.
How strong are the covers?
18oz vinyl is extremely durable, the same grade used on semi-trailer tarps. It resists abrasion, tearing, and heavy handling. 12oz vinyl and polyester are strong but intended for lighter-duty applications.
Are the covers easy to clean?
Yes. Vinyl has a slick surface that wipes clean with soap and water. Polyester can also be cleaned with mild detergents. Avoid abrasive scrubbing or harsh chemicals that could damage seams.
How do I measure my generator for a cover?
Measure the width, depth, and height in inches, including any protrusions like handles, control panels, or exhausts. We add slack for proper fit on all sides except the height. Uploading photos ensures accuracy.
What style options are available?
You can choose from different shapes (A or B) depending on your generator’s configuration. Both styles are custom-built to your dimensions for a snug, professional fit.
Can I add tie-downs or cover splits?
Yes. Optional features include reinforced tie-down straps for extra security and splits for easy access. These upgrades keep the cover in place during storms and allow you to access panels without removing the cover.
Do the covers come with a warranty?
Yes. Vinyl generator covers include a 5-year warranty, while polyester covers include a 3-year warranty. Warranties protect against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
What is the lead time for production and shipping?
Most custom generator covers ship within 10–12 working days. Shipping is free on orders over $150. Expedited production and delivery may be available upon request.
Can I upload images or request modifications?
Yes. Upload photos, CAD drawings, or sketches of your generator. Special modifications such as clear windows, printed labels, or custom cutouts for exhausts can be included in your order.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing depends on your generator’s dimensions, chosen material (12oz vinyl, 18oz vinyl, or polyester), and added features like splits or tie-downs. Larger and heavier-duty covers cost more.
Do you offer bulk discounts for large facilities?
Yes. Businesses, hospitals, and industrial facilities ordering multiple generator covers receive discounted pricing and coordinated delivery schedules. Contact us for a custom quote.
