If you are running all 3 motors then you had better not plug in to any normal domestic supply though you would probably get away with 2 running at 2800 Watts without things getting too hot.
Otherwise you will need to run off a generator and for extra length then you will need something like this,

I`m not a qualified electrician.Incidentally what is the fuse rating on the plug of the machine?

I calculate its drawing 17.5Amps at 4200 Watts from a 240v supply.
