Cleveland, OH -

Lincoln Electric introduces the Frontier® 500X, a high-performance engine-driven welder generator built for demanding jobsites. With up to 525 amps of output and 20 kW of continuous three-phase power, the Frontier 500X is ready for any task in any environment-no matter how challenging.

Frontier 500X now available in fully assembled trailer packages.



Lincoln Electric introduces the Frontier® 500X, a high-performance engine-driven welder generator built for demanding jobsites. With up to 525 amps of output and 20 kW of continuous three-phase power, the Frontier 500X is ready for any task in any environment-no matter how challenging.

Powered by a Kubota diesel engine, the Frontier 500X incorporates all the features and benefits of Lincoln Electric's Frontier 400X pipe model and Frontier 400X construction model. The result is a compact, quieter package that delivers reliable all-day power-whether at the jobsite or the campsite.

Auxiliary Power:
Three-Phase: 20 kW Continuous / 21 kW Peak
Single-Phase: 12 kW Continuous / 15 kW Peak

The Frontier 500X also includes a dedicated Pipe Mode, designed and field-tested by pipeline welders specifically for cellulosic root downhill pipe welding. This mode produces the iconic, smooth DC generator arc the cross-country pipe industry expects while providing enhanced control and consistent arc performance-from root to cap-across downhill, vertical down, and pipe welding applications.

DigFXtechnology allows operators to fine-tune the arc for ideal puddle control, while the dynamic shorting response system automatically adjusts output to overcome short circuits caused by pipe variability. The result: improved puddle control and reduced spatter.

A rugged 7-inch digital display streamlines operation with memory functions, maintenance alerts, and PIN security. CrossLinc® Technology enables full control at the arc with no additional cables required, while Auto-Stop/Start helps reduce fuel consumption and engine wear.

Additional features include:
• ArcLinkconnector punch-out for optional kit installation-supports mechanized communication today and future capabilities.
• Advanced processes: STT®, CC/CV, pulse, and mechanized welding.
• A 3-year warranty backed by more than a century of engineering expertise.

"The Frontier 500X reflects our commitment to giving welders the performance and reliability they count on every day," said Lazar Jankovic, Product Manager, Engine-Driven Welder Generators at Lincoln Electric. "From its purpose-built Pipe Mode to its 20 kW of continuous three-phase auxiliary power, this machine is designed around real operator needs. Whether it's arc stability, jobsite versatility, or power for critical tools, the 500X delivers more capability in one machine."

The Frontier 500X is available in three Ready-Pak® configurations, shipped fully preassembled directly from the factory. Packages include combinations of the welder, trailer, fender and lighting kits, welding cables/clamps, and cable racks. Additional customer-installed options include a spare tire kit and a 2-in-1 fire extinguisher bracket/document holder.

Ready-Pak Options:
• K5350-2-RP1 Ready-Pak 1: Welder, trailer, fender kit, cable rack, cables, and clamp
K5350-2-RP2 Ready-Pak 2:Welder and trailer
K5350-2-RP3 Ready-Pak 3:Trailer, fender kit, and cable rack

For high performance in demanding environments, get the power and versatility you need-with a special emphasis on pipeline welding. Push the boundaries with the Frontier 500X engine-driven welder generator from Lincoln Electric. The new frontier of performance.
