The 55REOZT4 diesel-powered mobile generator from Kohler Power Systems is EPA emission-certified for non-road use and mounted on a DOT-certified trailer.
Features include a KDI 3404 Tier 4 Final engine that does not require a diesel particulate filter; external emergency stop; stainless steel door latches and hinges; cold weather package (block and battery heater); single-point lifting eye; sound-attenuating housing (69 dBA at 23 feet); voltage, current, frequency and power monitoring; analog inputs; warnings; and faults monitoring. Customization is available.
“We have the ability at Kohler to modify any of our generators,” says Anne Feudner, product manager, Kohler Power Systems. “You could have a larger fuel tank or different voltages.
You can have a different paint color to match the fleet, different trailer configurations or receptacle configurations.”
The generator is compatible with Kohler’s Mobile Paralleling Box, enabling users to link different-sized generators to optimize power for a specific task.
“Where the Paralleling Box might work on a job site is if you have some equipment going 24 hours and some of it going eight hours,” Feudner says. “You currently might use one big generator but could potentially use two smaller generators. Say for 10 hours a day you’re not running as much equipment, the controller and the generator senses that the load has gone down. And if it goes down to a certain level, it automatically shuts one of the units off. Now you’re only burning fuel and giving off emissions from one small unit.”
The generator is capable of a 46-48 kW standby rating and 42-43 kW prime and continuous rating. Fuel tanks are sized for 40 hours of runtime at 75 percent load and can be increased with the use of auxiliary tanks.
“Say you are remote and you don’t want to deal with refueling, you could bring in an auxiliary tank,” she says. “The unit has optional fuel ports that you could tie into and pull from that auxiliary tank.”
A lockable enclosure and 3.1-cubic-foot toolbox provide added security and storage. The toolbox includes a fire extinguisher, lug wrench and jack.
The Decision-Maker 3500 digital controller provides intuitive displays and keypad functions, plus advanced network communications for remote monitoring. Other features include 4.3-inch LED color graphic LCD display; remote start and stop; sealed connectors to protect against the environment; auto-sensors on the selector switch setting that eliminate the need to program voltage changes; voltage, current, frequency and power monitoring; analog inputs; warnings; and faults monitoring. 800/544-2444; www.kohlerpower.com
