When your operation demands unwavering reliability and proven performance, nothing delivers like a Caterpillar 3512 diesel engine. This pre-owned powerhouse brings 1100 horsepower of industrial-grade muscle to your marine, power generation, or heavy industrial application—at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.
This Caterpillar 3512 diesel engine comes with a documented operational history that speaks volumes about its reliability. Previously deployed on a sand dredging barge—one of the most punishing marine applications imaginable—this engine performed flawlessly in conditions that would cripple lesser equipment. With approximately 8,500 hours on the meter, this unit has been properly broken in while retaining substantial service life ahead.
Most importantly, this engine was running prior to decommission, meaning you're acquiring a verified operational unit, not a project engine requiring extensive rebuilding. We've documented the engine rotation on video so you can verify mechanical integrity before purchase.
The CAT 3512 series represents the gold standard in medium-speed diesel engines. This V12 configuration delivers outstanding power density while maintaining the fuel efficiency and durability Caterpillar is renowned for. At 1200 RPM, this engine operates in the sweet spot for longevity—providing maximum power while minimizing wear and extending service intervals.
Caterpillar didn't build its reputation by accident. The 3512 series features heavy-duty construction with replaceable cylinder liners, robust crankshaft design, and proven fuel injection technology. Parts availability is exceptional, and qualified service technicians exist worldwide—critical considerations when investing in any industrial power plant.
This engine's 1200 RPM operating speed represents the ideal balance between power output and longevity. Higher-speed engines may produce similar horsepower from smaller displacements, but they sacrifice durability. The 3512's medium-speed design means longer intervals between overhauls, reduced maintenance costs, and decades of reliable service when properly maintained.
The 3512's 1100 HP output makes it perfectly suited for:
Unlike many used engine purchases, this CAT 3512 comes with comprehensive documentation including the original build sheet detailing specifications, configuration, and serial number information. This documentation is invaluable for ordering correct parts, planning maintenance schedules, and verifying the engine meets your application requirements.
Watch it run: We've provided video documentation showing actual engine rotation, allowing you to assess mechanical condition remotely. This transparency reflects our commitment to honest representation and customer satisfaction.
Pre-owned Caterpillar engines represent one of the smartest investments in industrial equipment. You receive proven technology, worldwide parts support, and exceptional reliability at significantly reduced capital cost compared to new equipment. For operations where budget constraints exist but performance requirements remain non-negotiable, this 3512 delivers the perfect solution.
The relatively low hour meter reading means this engine retains the majority of its useful service life. With proper maintenance following Caterpillar's recommended schedules, you can expect many thousands of additional operating hours before major overhaul becomes necessary.
This engine is available now and ready for shipment to your location. Whether you're repowering an existing vessel, building a new power generation facility, or replacing failed equipment in an industrial application, delivery can be arranged quickly to minimize your downtime.
Don't let this opportunity pass—pre-owned Caterpillar 3512 engines in verified running condition don't remain available for long. Contact Power Generation Enterprises today for additional specifications, pricing information, or to arrange an inspection.
