**Note that price is Per Unit

The used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator available exclusively through USP&E Global is a proven 2.5 MW generating set manufactured in 1996, operating at 60 Hz and 6,600 volts, with a recorded 2,000 hours of service. This unit is configured as a complete generator set running on diesel fuel, currently located in Asia, and is offered in used condition from USP&E's exclusive inventory, meaning it cannot be sourced through any other channel. Buyers seeking a used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator for primary or backup power applications will find this asset represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a globally recognised workhorse platform with low accumulated hours relative to its total design life. As a multinational EPC and O&M company with over 150 completed power station projects across 45 or more countries, USP&E Global maintains strict asset verification standards under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certification, and every unit listed on uspeglobal.com, including this used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator, is 100% OFAC and FCPA compliant, giving buyers in regulated industries and sovereign markets full confidence in the procurement process.

The Caterpillar 3608 is a large-bore, medium-speed diesel engine platform that has built its reputation across decades of deployment in demanding power generation roles. At 2.5 MW output, this generating set is ideally sized to serve as a primary power diesel genset Asia buyers require for industrial facilities, construction sites, remote extraction operations, and commercial complexes where grid connection is absent, unreliable, or economically unfeasible. The 60 Hz frequency rating makes this unit directly applicable to North American standard and other 60 Hz markets operating in the Americas, parts of Asia, and beyond, while the 6,600 volt output supports medium-voltage distribution systems that reduce transmission losses across large sites. For healthcare facilities requiring uninterrupted power, this unit's output is well matched to hospital campuses and medical centres, making it a strong candidate as a backup power generator for healthcare facilities where a grid failure cannot be tolerated. With only 2,000 hours on record, this used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator retains substantial remaining service life, reducing the near-term capital expenditure a buyer would otherwise face on overhaul or refurbishment, and its diesel fuel compatibility ensures that logistics remain straightforward across the industrial diesel generator for remote locations scenarios in which this class of machine most frequently operates. Whether deployed at a mining camp, a petrochemical processing plant, a commercial data centre, or a military or government facility in a region where grid stability cannot be guaranteed, the 3608 platform delivers the kind of sustained, predictable output that critical operations depend upon.

USP&E Global does not simply list and sell equipment. As a full-capability turnkey power plant EPC contractor, USP&E can take this used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator from factory gate through to energised, fully commissioned power station. That scope encompasses engineering design, civil and mechanical construction, medium-voltage switchgear integration, fuel system installation, load bank testing, and complete commissioning to client specification, all managed under a single contractual relationship and delivered by a team with hands-on experience in frontier and emerging markets across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond. Beyond commissioning, USP&E's diesel generator O&M frontier markets capability means that clients who require ongoing Operations and Maintenance support, or a Long-Term Service Agreement covering preventive maintenance schedules, parts management, and performance guarantees, can structure that arrangement directly with USP&E at the point of purchase. This integrated EPC and O&M model eliminates the coordination risk that arises when equipment procurement, installation, and ongoing management are handled by separate contractors, and it positions USP&E as a single accountable partner for the entire asset lifecycle. For buyers in regions where specialist diesel technicians and OEM parts chains are difficult to access independently, this service wrapper transforms the used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator from a standalone piece of equipment into a fully supported power solution. USP&E's 3,000 or more megawatts of exclusive inventory, including over 100 MW owned outright and exclusivity held on more than 500 MW, means that if project scope requires additional generating capacity alongside this unit, USP&E can source complementary assets from the same certified inventory without requiring the buyer to engage multiple vendors.

The used Caterpillar 3608 diesel generator listed under stock number USP010993 is an exclusive USP&E asset and will not remain available indefinitely given the level of global demand for low-hour, medium-voltage diesel gensets in this output class. Buyers in industrial, commercial, healthcare, construction, and remote power sectors who need a reliable primary or backup power solution operable at 60 Hz and 6,600 volts should act without delay.
