Default 60Hz to 50Hz with inverter?

Hi,
I'm thinking of moving some of my smaller machines to Europe. They are
currently using 220VAC single phase motors for 60Hz (up to 5HP) . In
Europe I have access to either 3-phase 380VAC/50Hz or single-phase
220VAC/50Hz. Can someone give me an advise? Can I use some sort of
inverter setup with a transformer, etc? Reason I'm asking is that I can

get free inverters from a friend of mine. I could actually get a 11KVA
inverter for free and it should perhaps be big enough for running more
than one machine. But I guess I need a transformer on its output? And
to complicate things my motors are single-phase.
