Here are the photos of the gensets I saw on an earlier trip to China (Dec 2006).
I was staying in an industrial town not far from Shenzhen. Everywhere you went were specialist hardware shops and machine stockists - I was in heaven.
Rows of "Changfa"/ST lined up in the street. The 12kW ST version was selling for about $500. (3960 RMB was $505 in December 2006).
Note the triple V-belt drive on the 12kW unit
Inside there were some larger 4 cylinder gensets - up to 56kW. These were priced at $3750 and $5500 respectively.
