**Note that price is Per Unit


Used Caterpillar 3516C diesel generator units are among the most sought-after reciprocating power assets on the global secondary market, and this particular unit represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-hours machine directly from USP&E Global's exclusive inventory. Rated at 2 MW, configured as a generator set, and manufactured in 2015, this used Caterpillar 3516C diesel generator has logged just 165 hours of operation, placing it firmly in near-new condition despite its used classification. Operating at 60 Hz and 480 volts, the unit is calibrated for North American grid and facility standards, making it immediately deployable across a wide range of commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure applications. USP&E holds this asset within its proprietary and exclusive diesel generator inventory, meaning it cannot be found listed, offered, or sourced through any other supplier, broker, or reseller. Stock number USP010711 is available now, and given USP&E's global reach and the consistently strong demand for proven Caterpillar reciprocating units, availability should not be taken for granted.

The Caterpillar 3516C is a heavy-duty, high-displacement diesel engine platform engineered for continuous and standby power generation in demanding operating environments. At 2 MW, this used Caterpillar 3516C diesel generator delivers the kind of reliable, fuel-efficient output that industrial operators, project developers, and EPC contractors depend on when uptime is non-negotiable. The 60 Hz frequency and 480-volt configuration align directly with North American utility and facility interconnection standards, eliminating the need for costly frequency conversion or step-up transformer integration in most standard applications. With only 165 hours on the frame, the engine components, cooling systems, turbocharging assemblies, and alternator are all operating well within their design service intervals, reducing the immediate capital expenditure required for refurbishment or overhaul. Suitable applications for this unit include data center backup and prime power, oil and gas facility support, mining camp electrification, remote construction site power, agricultural processing, water treatment, telecommunications infrastructure, and temporary or permanent grid-edge generation. The diesel generator set configuration also makes this unit transportable and adaptable to containerized deployment, skid mounting, or integration into a larger multi-unit power plant configuration. As a used diesel generator for industrial applications, the 3516C platform is widely respected for its parts availability, global Caterpillar dealer network, and proven mean time between failure statistics, all of which contribute to lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.

USP&E Global is not simply a seller of this asset. As a full-spectrum EPC and O&M contractor with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45 countries, USP&E brings the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and long-term operational capability to transform a single generator set into a fully operational power plant. For buyers seeking a turnkey power plant EPC contractor to deliver a complete solution rather than just iron on a pad, USP&E can manage every phase from site assessment and civil works through to fuel supply logistics, grid interconnection, control system integration, and personnel training. Once the plant is live, USP&E's power generation O&M services ensure that operators in frontier markets and established jurisdictions alike have access to structured maintenance regimes, spare parts management, performance monitoring, and long-term service agreement frameworks that protect asset value and generation reliability. USP&E owns over 100 MW of generation assets outright, holds exclusivity on more than 500 MW across its global inventory, and manages a portfolio exceeding 3,000 MW, which means that buyers working with USP&E gain access to a supply chain, technical team, and project delivery infrastructure that no independent broker or equipment trader can replicate. ISO 9001:2015 certification governs the quality management system across all project and asset activities, while ISO 45001:2018 certification reflects USP&E's commitment to occupational health and safety across every site and jurisdiction.
