No pressure. No guesswork. Just the right power, fast, with power.cat.com.

Have you ever tried to spec a genset from scratch? If yes, you'll know it involves choosing from hundreds of features. When faced with these choices, many of you might prefer to just talk with a trusted rep who understands your application and can help design your genset. BUT if you’re like me and want to explore your options on your own, with no phone calls, no waiting, and no pressure, then the Power Hub is the right place for you.

Just like car shopping has moved online, where you can build the exact model you want from your couch, genset configuration has entered a new era. Power Hub, our online configurator at power.cat.com, lets you tailor a model specifically to your application, saving time and hassle along the way. It’s a streamlined, efficient process that puts you in control. And the best part? You get exactly what you want. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Start with your Energy Goals. And the Rest Will Follow.

It’s easy to jump straight into picking a product, eager to move fast. But what if a smarter combination could serve you even better? That’s why I always suggest beginning with a simple question: What am I really trying to achieve?

• Is it boosting your power capacity?
• Securing reliable energy during storms? Or cutting down on your energy bills?

Our guided selling tool makes it simple. Just answer a few quick questions, and we’ll match you with an optimized energy solution tailored to your specific needs. It’s the easiest way to ensure you’re not just choosing a product – but choosing the right one. Now, it’s time to find the right genset. Power Hub makes it easy to explore Cat^® genset models that match your requirements. From 30kW to 3000kW, choosing the right model is a critical step. From there, you can filter models by application type, such as permanent or temporary power, and by fuel type, like diesel or natural gas, where available. If you already know your exact requirement, simply enter it to narrow your options. And if you're not quite sure what size genset you need, the “Help Me Calculate” sizing tool is available to guide you. You can also reach out to your local Cat dealer for personalized support.

Step 2: Easily Customize Your Options

Once you’ve selected a model, you’re ready to begin tailoring it to your site and specs.

That’s where Power Hub truly sets itself apart from other sizing tools or manufacturing websites. Now you can start choosing the features you want for your genset. The configurator organizes them into categories such as general features, electrical, mechanical, enclosures and tanks. As you move through the experience, if you aren't sure whether you need the feature or what benefits it could bring, there are descriptions to help you make that choice. As you choose options, the configurator dynamically updates to show what’s available for your model. No irrelevant choices or dead ends, just a smooth path to the right solution.

Bonus: You can save your configuration and come back to it anytime. There’s no danger of losing your work or having to redo it.

Step 3: Download The Right Docs

Other websites require you to search through endless spec sheets and drawings to find the ones relevant to your genset, but not Power Hub. After you’ve completed your feature selections, the configurator instantly serves up documentation tailored to your specific build, including 2D and 3D drawings and detailed specifications. It’s all in one place, ready to download and print when you need it.

Step 4: Need power now? Instant Access to Available Inventory in Stock.

Once you’ve built your ideal configuration in Power Hub, the tool instantly checks local Cat dealer inventories for available units. Even if there’s not a perfect match, Power Hub highlights “percentage match” models that meet 80–90% of your specs and are ready to ship. If speed matters, you can choose an in-stock option and get up and running quickly. Prefer a custom build? No problem, your exact configuration can be built at the factory.

Step 5: Request A Quote and Timeline

Is it time to buy or build? With just one click, Power Hub sends your complete genset configuration, including every detail you’ve selected, directly to your local Cat dealer. There’s no need to re-explain your power requirements, fuel preferences or feature selections. It all goes straight into the dealer quoting system, so your dealer can pick up right where you left off. They'll reach out to you to provide pricing and availability with no time lost retracing your steps.

Designing the perfect genset shouldn’t be complicated. From start to finish, Power Hub’s online configurator makes the process quick and hassle-free. That means you spend less time searching and more time focused on what matters: getting the right power solution for your needs.
