Description
PG40 Portable Generator
The Bobcat® PG40 portable generator offers outstanding motor starting capability, the best low-load operating range in the industry and simple serviceability.
- 39 kVA (31 kW) power output at just 64 dB(A)
- Ideal for rental, construction, events and disaster recovery applications
- Engineered to perform in the harshest conditions
- Easy-to-read analog gauges for at-a-glance monitoring
- Industry-leading serviceability for maximum uptime
The PG40 portable generator from Bobcat delivers reliable power suitable for a variety of applications, from construction sites and remote disaster relief to live concerts and outdoor events. It’s powered by a fuel-efficient, state-of-the-art engine that features a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) aftertreatment system, which is virtually maintenance-free.
The PG40 provides unmatched starting power with optional low-load management solutions designed to maximize the machine’s lifespan while also maximizing your jobsite productivity. The Intelligent Load Management System adds mechanical advantage to the engine without impacting your fuel economy, allowing the engine to burn hot enough to prevent the sludge buildup common with older machines.
Like all Bobcat portable generators, the PG40 was engineered to be easily serviceable by on-site operators. Designed with an emphasis on accessibility, routine maintenance is quick and easy to perform without having to take the machine apart. The CoolBox enclosure is acoustically treated to minimize sound levels while ensuring proper cooling airflow so you can operate at maximum load in high ambient temperatures.
With 24 hours of runtime at 100% load, the PG40 keeps the power flowing to keep you up and running. A dual-frequency switch comes standard, allowing the generator to change from 50 Hz to 60 Hz, making it one of the most versatile portable generators available. It’s also built tough with a galvanized steel enclosure, heavy-duty running gear, torsion-style axles with your choice of electric or hydraulic surge brakes, bolt-on fenders, and adjustable height hitches to ensure safe and easy towing.
What Makes the PG40 Different
40 kVA / 32 kW Prime Power
Reliable 40 kVA (32 kW) prime power suited to a wide range of applications — from construction sites and disaster relief to live concerts and outdoor events.
Dual-Frequency Switch — Standard
A dual-frequency switch comes standard, changing the generator from 50 Hz to 60 Hz — making the PG40 one of the most versatile portable generators available.
Multi-Voltage — Six Configurations
A 3-position voltage selector covers single- and three-phase output at 120, 208, 240 and 480 V, so one machine powers everything from hand tools to three-phase equipment.
Fuel-Efficient Engine, DOC — No DPF
A fuel-efficient, state-of-the-art Doosan D18 (48.8 hp) features a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) aftertreatment system that is virtually maintenance-free — no diesel particulate filter.
Optional Intelligent Load Management
Unmatched starting power, with optional low-load management to maximize lifespan and productivity. The Intelligent Load Management System adds mechanical advantage without impacting fuel economy — keeping the engine hot enough to prevent the sludge buildup common with older machines.
24 Hours of Runtime at 100% Load
With 24 hours of runtime at 100% load (and 49.8 hours at 75%) from a 102-gallon tank, the PG40 keeps the power flowing to keep you up and running.
Acoustically-Treated CoolBox Enclosure
The CoolBox enclosure is acoustically treated to minimize sound levels (64 dB) while ensuring proper cooling airflow — so you can operate at maximum load even in high ambient temperatures.
Built Tough & Easy to Tow
A galvanized steel enclosure and heavy-duty running gear — torsion-style axles, your choice of electric or hydraulic surge brakes, bolt-on fenders and adjustable-height hitches — ensure safe, easy towing.
