The workhorse you need

CO DEFENSE™ − Detect. Protect.

At Caterpillar, safety is our top priority. This RP8000 E is equipped with Cat® CO DEFENSE™ Carbon Monoxide Sensing & Shutdown technology keeps you, your family, and friends safe. When carbon monoxide reaches unsafe levels, the sensor light will blink red and the generator will shut down. Once this happens, leave the area immediately until it’s safe to return.

Safety first

We've designed our portable generators with your safety in mind. Snap-fit rubber outlet covers keep vital connections between your valuable devices and the generator protected against moisture, dust and debris . We've also installed ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) that shut off the power if it detects an issue in order to keep you safe.

Overview

The Cat® RP8000 E is ideal for light commercial use and can power critical home loads in seconds.
