Al-Bahar has launched a new line of Cat GC diesel generator sets in the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar. The new range of generator sets has been value-engineered to reduce costs, and offer an optimal solution for stationary standby power applications.
The electric power grid landscape continues to change, and now power outages are less frequent and shorter in duration. Nevertheless, they remain a cause of concern for businesses where power loss is not even an option. Demand for cost-effective, stationary standby generator sets is inevitable. Caterpillar introduced these value-engineered Generator Sets to give customers all the performance, reliability, and support Cat® products are known for at an even more competitive price.
The new Cat GC generator sets are designed and manufactured to Caterpillar’s exacting standards for efficiency, productivity, and reliability. A combination of standard features that deliver performance makes these models ideal for excellent customer value. The new models range from the DE33GC to DE1500GC, with ratings ranging from 33kVA – 1500kVA.
The sleeker, streamlined design enables the Cat GC models to have a smaller footprint, ensuring low installation costs. At the same time, the generator sets would help customers meet the budgetary requirements for the vast majority of stationary standby power applications in this power range.
Jason Kaiser, vice-president for Caterpillar Electric Power, said “We have specifically configured Cat GC generator sets with electrical contractors in mind and we have designed a product that offers Caterpillar’s renowned performance at an exceptional value.”
Mohamed B. El-Kaddour, vice-president of Al-Bahar Energy and Transportation division, said: “When we introduce these generator sets as ‘value engineered’, we are assured that Caterpillar has designed and fine-tuned these generator sets to offer only the key features and functionalities that are required and valued by stationary standby customers. These generator sets were ideal for a range of standby applications across the region, including manufacturing, commercial enterprises, office buildings, health clinics, agriculture facilities, municipal infrastructure, wastewater treatment plants and other utilities.”
Cat GC diesel generator sets come with an option for low-noise sound attenuated enclosures and a range of options and accessories for varying applications. Customers will also get comprehensive support and unmatched parts availability from Al-Bahar.
To provide customers with important information like data visualization, reporting and alerts, the generator sets can be equipped with Cat Connect remote asset monitoring technology. The data can be accessed anywhere across the globe through an easy-to-use web interface.
