Power Solutions to keep you in production
A Century of Helping Manufacturers Meet Power Needs
Loss of power means lost production and lost revenue. Reliable standby power allows you to avoid those losses and maintain critical operations during power outages, preventing the production downtime, financial losses, and potential safety hazards that can arise from sudden disruptions to machinery and control systems. At Caterpillar, we have a century of experience in manufacturing. We provide the products and expertise you need to help ensure a smooth continuation of production, even when your main power source fails. Ensure your manufacturing facility is safeguarded by our range of flexible energy solutions, including diesel gensets, CHP solutions, and hybrid energy solutions, and lock in power protection for your assets by connecting with our global network of local dealers dedicated to supporting your success.
Minimizing Production Stoppage
Manufacturing processes often involve complex, interconnected machinery where even a brief power interruption can lead to significant delays, spoiled products, and lost productivity.
Protecting Sensitive Equipment
High-tech manufacturing equipment can be damaged by sudden power fluctuations. Standby power helps to stabilize voltage and prevent damage during power outages.
Maintaining Safety Systems
Critical safety features like emergency lighting, ventilation systems, and alarms require uninterrupted power to function properly, which is ensured by a standby power system.
Data Integrity
Manufacturing processes often rely on real-time data monitoring and control systems, which can be compromised if power is lost. Standby power ensures data continuity.
Meeting Regulatory Compliance
Certain industries have strict regulations regarding operational continuity during power outages, which can be met by having a reliable standby power system.
Power Solutions for Manufacturing
Our energy solutions range from diesel generators and energy storage for extra power to natural gas and hydrogen power, which may help reduce emissions. As the energy landscape changes, more customers are using a mix of these options. Whatever your needs, we can help you achieve your goals.
Diesel Generator Sets
Reliable Cat diesel gensets rated 6 to 5,720 ekW (7.5 to 7,150 kVA) are a superior choice for standby or prime power.
Gas and CHP
Our gas generator sets range from 100 to 4,500 kW, and many are designed specifically for CHP applications, giving you maximum return on investment.
Hybrid
Microgrid/Hybrid solutions give you the benefits of renewable power sources, reliable gensets, and sophisticated controls that ensure constant power at lower costs.
Aftermarket
Dynamic Gas Blending retrofit kits allow you to cut diesel fuel costs and reduce emissions without giving up performance.
