CAT generators are built for organisations that need dependable power across commercial, industrial and critical applications. Bellwood Rewinds supplies new and used Caterpillar diesel generators for construction, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, commercial premises and emergency backup throughout the UK.
Our stock includes silenced CAT generator sets across several power outputs, with models suitable for prime or standby duty. Availability changes regularly, so the right unit should be selected based on the connected load, phase, operating environment, required runtime, and future capacity, rather than the brand name or headline kVA alone.
Browse the CAT generators below, or contact our engineering team for tailored advice. We can help compare power ratings, condition, enclosure, controls, fuel arrangements and long-term support before recommending a suitable generator.

CAT generator sets are designed for commercial, industrial and critical-power applications across a wide range of industry sectors. Reliability still depends on correct sizing, installation, loading, fuel quality and preventative maintenance.
For buyers comparing long-term generator options, factors such as service history, operating conditions, maintenance records and parts availability all matter. Bellwood can help customers assess these points so they can choose a generator they can trust for the intended application.
The correct size depends on running and starting loads, phase, power factor, operating hours and future capacity. A generator should be selected based on the actual equipment it needs to support, rather than simply choosing the next available power rating.
Bellwood can review your equipment schedule and recommend an appropriate kW or kVA rating, helping ensure the generator remains suitable as site requirements change over the coming years.
Yes. Bellwood supplies used CAT generators alongside new equipment. Running hours, service history, engine condition, alternator performance and controller operation should all be assessed before purchase.
Choosing a suitable used generator can also be a more sustainable option when an existing machine still meets the specifications, condition, and support required for the intended application. The key is to ensure conditions and capabilities are properly assessed, rather than choosing based on price alone.
Price varies according to power output, condition, specification, enclosure, controls and emissions equipment. Current prices are shown where available, while other units may require a tailored quotation.
The lowest purchase price is not always the lowest long-term cost. Fuel use, maintenance requirements, expected operating hours, and the number of years the generator is expected to remain in service should all be considered when comparing options.
CAT generators are produced by Caterpillar Inc., a manufacturer with a long history of supplying engines, machinery and power equipment across the global industry.
Specifications and manufacturing arrangements vary across the generator range, so buyers should check the individual model information and nameplate before purchase. Bellwood can help interpret those details so customers can compare available CAT generators with greater confidence and trust in the specification.
Caterpillar designs generator sets as coordinated packages that combine the engine, alternator, controls, and supporting systems. The CAT diesel generator product range includes options for prime and standby duty, with individual sets assembled and tested before leaving the manufacturing facility. This integrated approach can simplify specification and provide stable performance when the generator is correctly sized, installed and maintained. In demanding environments, the right generator should be chosen based on the connected load, duty, site conditions, and long-term operating requirements rather than on headline output alone.
Depending on the model, CAT diesel generators may include sound-attenuated enclosures, EMCP control panels, automatic starting and options for different voltages and environmental conditions. The wider product range includes compact and larger stationary generator configurations for different commercial and industrial applications. These features vary, so the individual product specification should always be checked to ensure the generator type is suitable for the intended site and duty.
Standby generator sets remain ready to supply emergency backup when mains electricity fails. They may run infrequently, but still need healthy starter batteries, clean fuel and planned servicing.
Prime power generators are selected for regular operation where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. Their duty rating, cooling, fuel system and maintenance schedule must support longer running periods and changing loads. Some larger Caterpillar generator sets are also offered for continuous or mission-critical duty, but the rating must match the application.
CAT generators can support:
Construction sites, temporary power and heavy machinery
Manufacturing facilities and industrial equipment
Hospitals, healthcare sites and critical backup systems
Agricultural operations, pumps and remote buildings
Data centres, telecommunications and infrastructure
Commercial premises and business-continuity systems
Outdoor events and temporary venues
The best generator is not automatically the largest model. The correct choice depends on what it must power, how often it will operate, the site conditions and the consequences of losing electricity.
Begin with a complete schedule of the equipment that may operate together. Include running demand, motor-starting currents, phase, power factor and future growth. Pumps, compressors, motors and refrigeration equipment can draw substantially more power during start-up.
An undersized generator may overload, shut down or produce unstable voltage. An unnecessarily large unit can increase purchase cost, fuel consumption and low-load operating problems. Bellwood can review your load information and recommend an appropriate kW or kVA rating. Our guide to what size generator you need explains the process in more detail.
A new CAT generator can provide a defined specification, current controls, manufacturer support and the latest available emissions technology. It may be preferable for a permanent installation or project with strict requirements.
A carefully selected used Caterpillar generator can reduce cost and lead time. Running hours, service history, engine condition, alternator output, controller operation and parts availability should all be checked. Bellwood supplies both new and used generators and can explain the practical differences.
The live CAT product range shown on this page includes silenced diesel generator models. Sound-attenuated enclosures can reduce operating noise and provide weather protection, making them suitable for demanding environments such as commercial premises, construction sites, and industrial locations where disruption must be controlled. Depending on the model, compact generator sets can also help where available space or access matters.
“Silenced” does not mean inaudible. Check the stated sound level and test distance for the individual model. Installation must also provide ventilation, safe exhaust routing and access for refuelling, inspection and maintenance. Bellwood’s generator noise information explains how published sound figures should be interpreted.
Fuel consumption depends on generator size, connected load, engine specification and operating duty. Correct sizing and sensible loading are central to achieving low fuel consumption and avoiding inefficient operation. Over the generator’s working life, this can also help lower operating costs by reducing unnecessary fuel use and avoiding prolonged low-load operation.
CAT generator sets may use EMCP controls and can be integrated with Automatic Transfer Switches, switchgear, protection and remote monitoring equipment, depending on the model and installation. These components must be compatible and tested as one power system.
Reliable power depends on planned maintenance. Routine checks should cover oil, coolant, filters, fuel, starter batteries, battery charging, belts, hoses, controls and electrical output. Service intervals should follow both calendar time and running hours.
Bellwood provides generator servicing, generator repairs, generator parts and service kits across the UK. Early investigation of starting, cooling, fuel or voltage problems can reduce downtime and protect major components.
