How We Got Started

Since 1960, Charles Equipment Company has put reliable, cost-effective engine packages of all sizes to work throughout the Midwest. We specialize in the sales and service of both standby and prime power equipment and cogeneration systems, as well as small mobile and stationary engines.

You’ll find our large engine drive and power generation products in skyscrapers, hospitals, schools and universities. Municipal applications include sewage and wastewater treatment, city water supply, police and fire stations and communication centers.

Our smaller portable power packages can be found working around the clock at construction and industrial sites.
