Las Vegas – In collaboration with Linde Gas & Equipment, ESAB announced that its new Ruffian™ EMP 270G EDW engine driven welding generator will make its official debut at CONEXPO CON/AGG 2026 and attendees can place orders directly in Linde’s booth (S63335). Linde will have the Ruffian in stock and ready to ship straight to customers’ shops or job sites immediately following the show, giving contractors, fleet managers and mobile welding crews the fastest possible access to this next generation engine drive. ESAB and Linde have also teamed up to offer exclusive, show only pricing during CONEXPO, which runs March 3–7 in Las Vegas.
The show special packages feature the Ruffian EMP 270G with an Sentinel A60 welding helmet, a Sentinel A60 helmet and a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 50+ hand-held plasma cutter, or the RobustFeed AVS voltage-sensing wire feeder.
“The demand for the Ruffian EMP 270G has exceeded all expectations, and we are honored to partner with Linde Gas & Equipment to launch it at CONEXPO,” said Albert Miller, U.S. Vice President of Distribution Sales at ESAB. “Contractors and equipment managers want access a rugged, reliable power source that’s built for tough use in the construction, mobile welding service, maintenance and repair, oil and gas, agriculture and emergency power markets.”
Ruffian EMP 270G offers a multiprocess welding output of 270A at 100% duty cycle and 11kW of generator power through its multiple 120VAC and 240VAC auxiliary outlets. Assembled in Texas, the Ruffian EMP 270G combines ESAB’s next-generation inverter with the proven reliability of a made-in-America 23.5-HP KOHLER® Command Pro CH730 gasoline engine. The machine is designed with a small footprint for service trucks and delivers smooth performance for MIG, flux cored, Stick and TIG welding.
The Ruffian EMP 270G features a uniquely designed, next-generation inverter which provides an easy-to-start arc in all welding modes, along with advanced controls to fine-tune the arc, such as Arc Force for Stick welding and Cables Calibration for MIG welding. It also includes synergic lines for fast and easy set-up. The Ruffian delivers best-in-class performance for all processes and electrode types, including not only 7018, but also 6010/6011 and hardfacing electrodes. It can also carbon arc gouge with 3/16-in. carbon.
The Ruffian EMP 270G incorporates more than 100 customer-requested features in an engine-driven welding power source, starting with a large 7-in. TFT digital display. The big number display and a high contrast screen allow operators to see parameters from long distances, while the user-friendly menu and advanced HMI (human-machine interface) make set-up and control easy.
Weighing only 425 lbs. with base mounting bolt holes and an 11-gallon fuel tank for hours of run time, the Ruffian EMP 270G is lighter and has a smaller footprint than other machines in its class. Its modern and rugged exterior is tested in the harshest environments to meet the highest global standards and is backed by a three-year warranty. Designed with fully removeable doors, it allows easy access to the battery and other internal parts and means changing the oil requires no tools and little time.
The Ruffian EMP 270G has four 120VAC 20A GFCI receptacles, one 240VAC (6-50R) dedicated outlet and another 120/240V hybrid outlet, all protected by circuit breakers and rubber covers. This auxiliary output can run grinders, drills, saws, lights, radio, air compressors, pressure washers, pumps, refrigerators, furnace blowers, microwaves, and light motors. It has a peak (or surge) output of 11kW for stronger starting performance and continuous output of 10.5kW.
