Emergency standby power - fast, strong support

Altorfer Cat was the top-of-mind choice because of strong support they delivered to UnityPoint Health in the fall of 2013, when a tornado outbreak struck in the area. Those tornadoes brought significant power outages to the immediate community, including a prompt care facility on the UnityPoint health campus. Altorfer Cat quickly supplied a Cat® XQ175 rental generator set to serve as a standby power source.
