Bobcat combines power and portability with new generator

The portable generator is powered by dual Tier 5 Final Cummins X15 engines.

Bobcat Company is introducing the PG1140 portable generator, which delivers enhanced output, simplified logistics and advanced load management in a single portable power generator package.

The portable generator is powered by dual Tier 5 Final Cummins X15 engines. Featuring the latest performance technology, the PG1140 operates without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This design eliminates the need for a minimum load and ensures reliable performance even in temperatures as low as -25 C.

“The Bobcat PG1140 integrates two PG570 portable generators into a single, 48-foot trailer, combining power output while significantly reducing transport and setup costs,” said Bobby Ranker, Product Specialist II at Bobcat Company.

“It’s designed to withstand rigorous applications while ensuring reliability, operator well-being and productivity at every stage.”

With more than 4,900 litres of onboard fuel and 350 litres of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), the PG1140 offers more than 27 hours of runtime at 75 per cent load. This extended capacity minimizes refuelling needs and maximizes operational uptime.

An oversized alternator ensures stable power output and supports applications with high motor starting demands.

The trailer’s high clearance and modular safety railings with ladder improve site mobility and operator protection. As well, ground-accessible switchgear and controls simplify operation, while the trailer also accommodates power distribution equipment such as cabling and spider boxes behind the switchgear to streamline logistics.

The portable generator delivers 912 kW at 60 Hz frequency and features a link board panel for flexible voltage configuration as well as shore power access for block heaters and battery chargers.
