CAT CLASS: HQ-10734

1,250+ kW Towable Diesel Generator

The 1,250+ kw towable diesel generator class provides plant-scale prime power and grid support, often deployed in synchronized multi-unit configurations. This is the top rung of the towable diesel generator ladder, serving industrial operations, utility infrastructure, and large-scale backup power applications. Units in this class deliver megawatt-level output in a mobile package.

Especificaciones clave

Especificación	Rango típico	Qué significa
Power Output	1,250-2,000+ kW	Megawatt-scale continuous or standby power for large industrial loads.
Voltage Configuration	480V three-phase, medium-voltage options	Industrial and utility-grade electrical distribution systems.
Fuel Capacity	500-1,000+ gallons on-board	Extended run time between refueling for prime power applications.
Synchronization	Parallel operation capable	Multiple units can be synchronized for increased capacity and redundancy.

Cómo elegir

This class is appropriate when prime power or grid support exceeds one megawatt, or when multiple units will be synchronized for total capacity and N+1 redundancy. For industrial facilities, data centers, or utility peaking applications requiring plant-scale generation, 1,250+ kw units provide the necessary output. The 300-600 kw Towable Diesel Generator class is better suited to smaller industrial loads, large commercial sites, or temporary power for events and construction that do not require megawatt-level capacity or synchronized operation.

Connection to medium-voltage switchgear or industrial distribution panels
Automatic transfer switch (ATS) integration for prime power and backup applications

Preguntas frecuentes

Can multiple 1,250+ kw generators be paralleled for higher capacity?

Yes, units in this class are typically equipped with synchronization controls to operate multiple generators in parallel, providing scalable capacity and redundancy for large loads.

What distinguishes this class from smaller towable generators?

The 1,250+ kw class delivers megawatt-level output for plant-scale and utility applications, often with medium-voltage capability and advanced control systems not found in smaller units.

What infrastructure is needed on site for a 1,250+ kw generator?

Sites require industrial-grade electrical distribution, adequate fuel storage or delivery logistics, suitable pad or hardstand for unit weight, and coordination with existing electrical systems or utility interconnection.
