Company launches new compact and eco-conscious 40kVA and 50kVA units for European markets

BOBCAT have launched the company’s new PG40 and PG50 portable generators, providing a leap forward in portable generator design. Powered by Stage V D24 engines and Stamford alternators, these eco-conscious models replace the previous generation Stage IIIA G40 and G60 units, delivering a combination of increased power output and lower fuel consumption compared with their predecessors.

The D24 engine in the new generators is said to be more powerful than those in other machines of this size on the market and with a higher capacity. This has allowed Bobcat to offer a true 50kVA prime unit on the market in the new PG50 model and yet still be below the Diesel Exhaust Fluid system requirement. Alongside the PG50, the PG40 delivers a prime power output of 40kVA.

In addition, both generators have a new sleek, compact design, with an array of novel features including optional factory-mounted running gear, with either fixed or variable height, for easy transportation such as towing behind a car. This upgrade provides greater convenience, ensuring mobility on and off the job site.

 

The new generators also have ‘Liquid Heat’, a low-load management system designed to reduce downtime and deliver peace of mind. Their versatile capabilities allow the new generators to manage lighter loads while preserving engine life.

The Stamford alternators on the PG40 and PG50 continue the use of this brand that started with the previously introduced PG100 100kVA generator. The mechanical and electrical configuration and options also follow most of what is offered on the PG100, providing owners with the versatility they require.

The COMAP MRS16 controller is again at the heart of the PG40 and PG50, with telematics options that allow units to be easily located and their status to be read remotely. Building on its proven track record, the successful connection system from the PG100 is incorporated in the new models. Tested and trusted, these connection points guarantee optimal efficiency, facilitating hassle-free set-up and smooth performance.

Operation of the generators is quiet, with these new models offering a low noise level – the LWA 88 sound power level on the PG40 and LWA 89 on the PG50, make them among the quietest units on the market. As well as being quiet, the PG40 and PG50 are also clean running, featuring a bunded base designed for 110% fluid containment, where spills are virtually eliminated, ensuring environmental protection and reducing maintenance needs.

The standard product warranty – as well as technical training and parts availability – are covered by Bobcat and the company’s extensive dealer network. The major difference in the new PG40 and PG50 is the engine coverage, which is handled by Bobcat’s own network without any third-party involvement.
