Caterpillar is expanding into the home and outdoor power category with the introduction of the Cat RP Series of portable generators. The RP Series is designed to provide reliable, convenient power for both professional contractors and retail consumers. The North American product launch includes four standard models, ranging from 3.6 to 7.5 kW as well as California-specific variations.

The RP Series generators feature a compact design—up to 4 in. shorter than comparable competitive models—and a low center of gravity to reduce tipping. The design makes maneuvering easier, even on hills and uneven ground, and the generators take up less space in truck beds and storage locations. The solid steel frame and enclosed roll cage protect generator components from damage. Bundled wires are tucked away in the frame, ensuring wires won’t snag or pull loose when moving in and out of storage and vehicles. Solid, never-flat wheels eliminate punctures on job sites. The generators also feature automatic shutdown when oil levels drop too low to protect the generator from damage. 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.
