Caterpillar diesel generators offer dependable standby, prime, and continuous power outputs. The brand’s genset series ranges from value-focused GC units to heavy-duty 3500-series power plants.

Caterpillar Diesel Generators Models
You only need to learn about your power requirements, and finding the perfect match from Caterpillar dg sets is easy.
1. GC Series (Value Line)
2. DE Series (light-duty to mid-range, kVA in name)
- Caterpillar 200 kVA Diesel Generator Set DE218AE0
- Caterpillar 22 kVA Diesel Generator Set DE22E3
- Caterpillar 7.5 kVA Diesel Generator Set DE7.5E3S
Note: If the kVA in the model name doesn’t match the spec sheets, it’s because the spec sheets show the 50 Hz version ratings. This frequency is common among UAE diesel generators.

Note: Full model lineup and specifications are available on the Famco website for you to select the best choice.
Caterpillar Diesel Generators Installation
Most models arrive as integrated, tested packages with alternator, engine, cooling, and control systems pre-aligned. GC models are ready to use on-site. The larger units, like the 3516E and 3606, may require more extensive site prep, foundation work, and heavy-lift installation.
Caterpillar Diesel Generators Dimensions and Weight
More compact CAT dg sets weigh under 500 kg and take less than 2 meters of space. Heavy-load models have larger frames from 3 to over 7 meters, and weigh up to 20 tons or more. Exact dimensions and weights vary by silent enclosure and options; detailed tables are available for each model on Famco Sanat’s website.
