Bobcat Generator Parallel

Exclusive Bobcat Technology

Intelligent Load Management System

Low-load operation is one of the biggest causes of generator engine wear and costly repairs — wet stacking, sludge buildup, and aftertreatment system damage all stem from running a generator below its optimal load range. Bobcat's exclusive ILMS option actively monitors and manages load conditions, protecting your engine and exhaust system automatically so you can focus on the job, not the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about buying, renting, or servicing a Bobcat portable generator? Find answers below or reach out to your nearest Carleton Equipment location.

What is a portable generator?
A portable generator is a mobile power unit that converts diesel fuel into reliable electrical power for tools, lighting, and equipment on jobsites without grid access. Bobcat portable generators deliver dependable performance wherever you need electricity — construction sites, events, disaster recovery, or remote operations. Towable, diesel-powered generators range from 25–1140 kVA, providing single- and three-phase power to run everything from hand tools to jobsite trailers and tower cranes. Each model is built with heavy-duty enclosures and sound attenuation for quiet operation, automatic voltage regulation (AVR) for steady clean output, Tier 4 diesel engines for efficiency and emissions compliance, and easy-access service panels for minimal downtime.
How do I choose a portable generator?
Selecting the right generator depends on your power demand and operating conditions. Consider: Power output — match the generator's kW, kVA, or amperage rating to the total running load of your equipment. Voltage needs — choose single-phase for smaller tools and lighting, or three-phase for industrial applications. Runtime requirements — larger fuel tanks support long shifts without refueling. Mobility — compact, trailer-mounted units are ideal for moving between jobsites. Environment — sound-attenuated, weather-protected enclosures are essential for urban or harsh environments. Our team at Carleton Equipment can help calculate your total load and recommend the best model — submit a quote request or contact your nearest location.
What's the difference between a portable generator and other power sources?
Portable generators stand apart for their flexibility and reliability. Compared to standby generators: portable units are mobile and designed for temporary use, while standby generators are fixed installations for permanent backup power. Compared to inverter generators: industrial portable generators offer far greater capacity (25–570 kVA) and three-phase capability for heavy-duty equipment — small inverter generators typically only offer single-phase and less than 15 kW output. Compared to light towers: light towers are primarily for integrated lighting with limited power output, while dedicated portable generators provide scalable, multi-connection power for any jobsite condition.
What sizes are available for Bobcat portable generators?
PG25–PG150: Compact towable models producing 25–150 kVA, ideal for residential construction, small jobsite power, and jobsite trailers. PG240–PG325: Mid-size units delivering 200–325 kVA for roadwork, utilities, and tower cranes. PG400–PG1140: Large diesel models producing 400–1140 kVA with load management technology and paralleling capability for major construction projects or emergency power applications. Every Bobcat portable generator is built for easy towing, quiet operation, and superior efficiency in the field.
What is the Bobcat ILMS and why does it matter?
ILMS stands for Intelligent Load Management System — an option exclusive to Bobcat generators. It protects the engine and exhaust aftertreatment system during low-load operation by minimizing wet stacking, harmful sludge buildup, and the need for costly repairs. If your generator will frequently run at partial load, ILMS is a worthwhile investment in long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Can Bobcat generators be paralleled together?
Yes. Select Bobcat generator models — PG70, PG100, PG325, PG400, and PG570 — are available with an advanced paralleling control system that allows multiple units to be synchronized and run together. This is ideal for applications requiring more power than a single unit can provide, or for redundancy and backup power configurations. See the models listed above or contact your nearest Carleton Equipment location to discuss paralleling options.
Does Carleton Equipment offer financing on Bobcat generators?
Yes. We offer competitive A.P.R. financing on qualifying new Bobcat portable generator models through participating dealers.
