CAT 12000E 12000W Portable Generator Features:

  • CAT RP12000E - EPA is a portable gas generator designed for heavy outdoor duty and home backup. It runs on a powerful Caterpillar 670cc OHV v-twin engine with a max 3600-RPM.
  • This 120V / 240V @ 60-Hz CAT generator produces 15000 Starting Watts and 12000 Running Watts. The runtime at 50% load is 11.7-hours. It runs quietly making it a neighborhood friendly option.
  • The 12kW generator has a pressurized lubrication system that increases maintenance intervals. Recommended oil is SAE30 or 10W-30. The engine shuts down to protect itself when the oil level is low.
  • The engine is housed in a heavy-duty roll cage to reduce vibration. Idle control saves fuel and reduces noise.
  • The extra-large metal fuel tank stores 13.2-gallons/ 50-liters of unleaded gasoline and has an easy to read fuel gauge.
  • Low harmonic distortion generator with all-copper windings supplies high-quality power with less than 5% THD.
  • The lead-acid battery charges itself when the generator is running.
  • It has a smart alternator with an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) that adjusts the engine speed to the load without dropping power to other appliances that can damage the product.
  • The control panel is located on one side for easy operation. Use the LED-display to check volts, hertz, running hours and total hours.
  • There are 6 Receptacles: 2x 5-20R GFCI Duplex, 1x L5-30R (Twist Lock), 1x L14-30R (Twist Lock), 1x 14-50R, 1x DC 12V 8.3A. The rubber outlet covers protect the generator from dust, debris, and moisture.
  • The generator is easy to move around with its padded, double-hinged handle and tires that never go flat. Compact design and foldable handles allow for easy mobility and storage.
  • This model is EPA, CARB, and CSA certified.
  • All CAT products are backed by a nationwide dealer network and multi-language call center.
  • Warranty: 2-year limited, extendable to 3-years when registered within 30 days. 

CAT RP12000E - EPA can be used for a wide variety of applications. Storms and hurricanes devastate life and destroy the daily routine when grid power fails.
