DEERFIELD, IL – Caterpillar Inc. today announced the addition of 12 new models to the company’s rapidly growing series of Cat® GC diesel generator sets for stationary standby applications and primarily targeted at the global electrical contractor market.
Available to order today, the new Cat GC diesel generator sets targeted for Europe, Africa, the Middle East, CIS, South America and Asia Pacific include an additional six models with power ratings from 450 to 715 kVA for 50 Hz applications, as well as six from 350 to 600 kW for 60 Hz applications.
