Where Caterpillar fits.
Caterpillar gensets are what a lot of buyers picture when they picture an industrial generator: heavy iron, long service life, and a dealer network that does not disappear. They usually cost more used than an equivalent Cummins, and for a prime-power application that runs constantly, many buyers consider that money well spent.
Sizes we typically see: Commonly 100 kW to 2 MW in the Florida market, with the deepest selection in the 300 kW to 800 kW band.
Still working out the size? Start with how generator sizing works, use the size calculator, or read about EPA emissions tiers if the unit needs a permit.
What to check
- Expect to pay a premium over comparable brands at the same kW
- Older 3406-era units may be difficult to permit for non-emergency use on emissions grounds
- Confirm the control generation and that any aftertreatment is intact and functional

Common questions about Caterpillar generators
Do you have Caterpillar generators in stock right now?
Availability changes constantly, so we do not publish a list that would be out of date by the time you read it. Tell us the size and application you need and we will confirm what Caterpillar equipment is currently available, its condition and hours, and the delivered price.
Is Caterpillar the right brand for my job?
Often the more useful question is which specific unit suits the load, because a well-maintained set from a second-choice brand beats a tired example of your first choice. We will tell you honestly if a different brand is the better buy at your size and budget.
What should I check before buying a used Caterpillar generator?
Hour meter reading, service records, whether the plate rating is standby or prime, load bank or test results, the condition of the alternator and controls as well as the engine, and the emissions certification if the unit will run as anything other than emergency standby.
Can a Caterpillar generator be delivered to my part of Florida?
Yes. Delivery is arranged to homes, businesses, warehouses, farms, and jobsites in all 67 Florida counties. Transportation is quoted from your actual delivery address once we know the unit and the site access.
