What is the wattage draw from each of these items? In the US there is a metal tag by the power cord stating the draw either in amperes or watts, either is fine. If it's amperes: P=IV or watts = amperes x voltage
Convert all your units to watts and add up the sum. Then buy a gasoline generator capable of supporting this maximum load.
There are variable here I won't know:
What voltage is used where you're at?
What wattage draw per item? That differs based on voltage.
I certainly hope you're not going to network these devices. Most gasoline generators do not provide a steady enough power source, even when within the proper load capacity.
