CAT Mobile Generators

This lineup of Cat mobile generator sets covers trailer-mounted diesel power from the compact 30 kVA XQP30 up through the 2,280 kVA (1,825 ekW prime / 2 MW standby) XQ2280, so there's a match whether you need to back-feed a single building, support a remote job site, or run several units in parallel across a larger facility. Every set sits on a heavy-duty base with integrated forklift pockets for easy handling, mounts to a DOT-approved trailer, and ships with a choice of hitch configurations for towing behind standard project vehicles. Most models offer selectable 50/60 Hz operation through a simple terminal-link switch, letting one generator serve both domestic and international frequency requirements, and voltage output across the range spans roughly 120V to 600V depending on model. Sound and emissions control run through the smaller and mid-size units as a consistent design theme: sound power ratings run from about 60 dBA at 7 meters on the XQP30 up to 67 dBA on the XQP100, brought down by two-speed electric cooling fans, and most models carry 110% spill containment for all engine fluids to limit environmental risk on site. Oil change intervals are typically 500 hours, extending to 700 hours on the container-packaged XQP1100 and 3,000 hours for belts and tappets on the XQ125, and a three-position power distribution switch lets you select output configuration without rewiring. Stepping up in size, models like the XQ425, XQ570, and dual-engine XQ1140 move to Cat C13, C18, and twin-C18 engines meeting Tier 4 Final or EU Stage V emissions standards, integral fuel tanks as large as 520 gallons for extended runtime, and an EMCP 4.4 controller that provides power metering, protective relaying, and the ability to parallel up to eight units together. At the top of the range, the XQC1200 (1,150 kW / 1,438 kVA continuous) and XQC1600 (1,515 ekW / 1,893 kVA continuous) are packaged inside 20ft and 40ft ISO high-cube containers respectively, rated for 9-high stacking and CSC certified for transport, with switchable 50/60 Hz output and a 30-gallon installed oil tank with an engine-mounted level regulator for extended-run duty; the XQC1600 adds up to 49°C ambient operating capability. The natural-gas-fueled XGC1900 reaches 1,900 ekW (2,375 kVA) continuous at 400V and 50Hz. Applications across the line span construction, mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, data centers, healthcare facilities, and municipal infrastructure, with the largest sets suited to stand-alone power, multi-unit power plant configurations, or utility support. For sites that need to bridge power during maintenance of a permanent generator, matching Temporary Connection Boxes are also available in male or female camlock or lug-to-lug configurations, rated from 200 to 4,000 amps, for emergency, legally required emergency, and standby applications, with remote start terminals and block heater receptacles among the available features.
