USP&E Global is pleased to offer this used Caterpillar 3512B diesel generator, a proven 1.3 MW reciprocating generator set manufactured in 2008 and available now from USP&E's exclusive inventory. This used Caterpillar 3512B diesel generator operates at 60 Hz and 480 volts, making it fully compatible with North American and other 60 Hz grid standards, and it has accumulated only 575 hours of runtime, placing it well within low-hours territory for a unit of this class and age. Fuelled by diesel and currently located in Europe, this generator set is available for immediate international deployment to buyers and project developers worldwide. As with all assets in USP&E's inventory, this unit is exclusively listed and cannot be sourced through any other channel, giving qualified buyers direct access to a meticulously documented, compliance-verified asset backed by a company with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and full OFAC and FCPA compliance across every transaction.
The Caterpillar 3512B is one of the most trusted and widely deployed diesel generator sets in the global power industry, and this particular unit represents a compelling opportunity for project developers, utilities, mining operators, and industrial facilities seeking reliable standby or prime power capacity. The used Caterpillar 3512B diesel generator is built around Caterpillar's 3512B engine block, a V12 turbocharged and aftercooled diesel platform renowned for its durability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance burden over extended operational cycles. At 1.3 MW, this unit is ideally sized for applications including industrial facilities, remote mining camps, oil and gas field support, agricultural operations, construction projects, commercial developments, and island or off-grid power systems where grid extension is not economically viable. The 480-volt, 60 Hz electrical configuration supports direct integration into a wide range of switchgear and distribution architectures common across North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and other 60 Hz markets globally. With only 575 hours on the engine, buyers are acquiring a used diesel generator set for sale that retains the substantial majority of its operational service life, reducing total cost of ownership and extending the interval before major overhaul is required. This unit qualifies as used diesel generator sets for sale of exceptional value, particularly given the availability of full technical documentation and the provenance assurance that comes with every USP&E asset transaction.
USP&E Global is not simply a broker or reseller. As a multinational EPC and O&M company with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45 or more countries, USP&E has the in-house capability to take this used Caterpillar 3512B diesel generator from asset acquisition through to full operational power station deployment.
