Horizontal Shaft Replacement Engines

Horizonal engines are designed to operate with the axis of the crankshaft oriented sideways on the equipment or in a horizontal position. Suitable for both variable-torque and constant-torque applications, the horizontal engine is more versatile than a vertical engine and is the perfect small engine to power equipment you use to maintain your home and yard. Typical uses for horizontal engines include replacing pressure washer engines, log splitter engines, chippers/shredder engines, portable generator engines, air compressor engines, tiller/cultivator engines, and other general-purpose applications. This type of engine can also be used to power go-karts and is sometimes mounted vertically for use with small pumps, gearboxes and other small equipment.

We carry an extensive line of quality horizontal engines in different sizes and models from name brands you can trust, like NorthStar, Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, Honda, and Powerhorse®. Whether you are looking for a horizontal engine for a pressure washer or generator, or need to power small construction or commercial equipment, you will find a horizontal engine to fit your needs here.

Our horizontal engines are easy to install, easy to start and extremely reliable. Many of our selections are designed to handle even the most demanding commercial applications. These horizontal engines offer professional-grade features for better fuel efficiency, cleaner emissions, quiet operation and exceptional performance for longer service life, making them the preferred engine for construction equipment. When it comes to reliability and durability, you can count on our versatile horizontal engines to provide enough power to run a wide range of equipment and to perform consistently, no matter how tough the job.
