When a major project cancellation creates opportunity, smart buyers take notice. We're offering two pre-owned Caterpillar G3516 Natural Gas Generator Sets that deliver the legendary reliability of Caterpillar engineering at a fraction of new equipment costs. With only 600 and 2,600 operational hours respectively, these units represent virtually new condition with substantial savings—a rare find in the industrial power generation market.
The Caterpillar G3516 isn't just another generator—it's a 1300 kW powerhouse engineered for mission-critical applications where downtime isn't an option. These units were installed for a major project that was cancelled shortly after commissioning, meaning you're getting near-pristine equipment with mere months of light-duty operation.
Caterpillar's G3516 platform represents decades of refinement in gas-powered generation technology. This engine is specifically designed for continuous duty applications including cogeneration, prime power, and standby emergency power. The robust V-16 configuration delivers smooth, reliable power with exceptional fuel efficiency.
The natural gas fuel system provides significant advantages: lower maintenance requirements, extended oil change intervals, reduced emissions for easier regulatory compliance, and substantial fuel cost savings over diesel operation. For facilities with natural gas infrastructure, this represents an intelligent long-term power solution.
Finding pre-owned Caterpillar generator sets with such minimal runtime is exceptionally rare. The unit with approximately 600 hours represents less than 1% of typical service life, while even the 2,600-hour unit is barely broken in by Caterpillar standards. Both generators were professionally installed, properly commissioned, and maintained to Cat specifications during their brief operational period.
The included sound-attenuated enclosures alone represent substantial added value—these aren't aftermarket solutions but purpose-built protection that maintains optimal operating temperatures while dramatically reducing acoustic output. This makes installation flexibility far greater, even in locations with strict noise ordinances.
These complete generator sets arrive ready for installation with all critical components included. The vertical radiator packages, high-capacity breakers, and professional-grade enclosures mean you're not facing additional capital expenditures to make these units operational. Simply transport, install, connect, and commission—your reliable power solution can be online quickly.
Whether you need a single 1300 kW generator or want to secure both units for redundancy or separate facilities, this represents a time-sensitive opportunity to acquire premium Caterpillar power generation equipment at exceptional value. Pre-owned Caterpillar generators of this caliber, condition, and low runtime don't remain available long.
