The RP Series is now available in the US and Canada via a select number of regional and local retailers and traditional Cat dealers that are part of the new Home & Outdoor Power sales and service network.

Caterpillar engineering teams based in Illinois and Northern Ireland designed the new portable generators guided by extensive testing of competing generators as well as research to identify the design and usability features that customers value the most. The resulting generators include premium features ideally suited for landscape contractors?who often require portable power for landscape maintenance and construction, snow removal and storm response. The RP Series generators are easy to use. Everything needed to operate the generator is easily accessible in one convenient, lighted control panel. A multi-function display enables users to toggle between lifetime running hours, session running hours, power output and run time to easily monitor generator performance and to determine when it?s time to re-fuel or service the unit. To power multiple devices, the RP5500, RP6500 E and RP7500 E have multiple outlets, both 120V and 240V.

Two models of the RP Series are available with a lithium ion battery-start option. The battery delivers three-times longer life than the standard battery provided in competitive models. The RP Series generators also feature a compact design?up to 4 inches shorter than comparable competitive models?and a low centre of gravity to reduce tipping.
