“We’re pleased to announce these additions to our diesel mobile generator line, which are ideal power solutions for a wide variety of markets, including the event rental, construction, commercial and water utility sectors,” said Anne Feudner, product manager for Kohler Power Systems. “This extension reflects the strong industry response we’ve received to our existing mobile generators from those seeking ultimate dependability in combination with a high level of application flexibility.”
Flexibility in System Application
Kohler Power Systems offers mobile generators for any application from industrial power to public events. The company’s 145REOZT4 and 175REOZT4 are EPA-emission certified for non-road use and come equipped with a rugged DOT-certified trailer and durable enclosure. Both units utilize John Deere Tier 4 Final 6.8L engines that help lower operating costs with efficient performance and fuel savings.
