Portable generator
The Cat RP12000 E portable generator fills out the top end of the Cat RP line, delivering 12kW of running power. Its larger frame houses its 670cc V-Twin engine that has a fully pressurized oil system. The unit delivers up to 15kW of surge power, making it suitable for powering more equipment and heavy loads. The all-copper generator delivers clean power with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion. A low-idle mode option optimizes fuel consumption and reduces noise levels and engine wear. It has a projected run time of more than 11 hours at 50 percent load per tank of fuel. A custom muffler and the extra-large steel fuel tank that sits on top of the engine minimizes noise levels and prevents vibration damage. A lighted, single side-operator station simplifies operation. The unit has nine receptacles including a 50-amp 240-volt outlet. The removable lifting eye and handle has a balanced center of gravity. The compact, visually appealing unit is easy to store.
