Engines

Engine Caterpillar engines and engine systems provide power to the world via trucks, ships and boats, our own construction and mining machines, and much more. Electrical power systems supply both primary and standby power for a variety of uses -- like off-shore oil rigs, huge mines in remote deserts or mountain ranges, entire communities in areas not close to a utility power grid, hospitals, schools, factories, airports and office buildings.

The 21st century brings new challenges, and once again Cat engines are setting the standard. Thanks to new ACERT technology, Cat’s diesel engines still deliver legendary economy and durability while meeting today’s stringent emission requirements. Innovative ACERT® technology meets today’s clean air regulations and establishes the building blocks for attaining the requirements of tomorrow without the fuel and maintenance penalties associated with EGR engines.

Cat engines offer another major advantage; they’re supported by the world’s strongest dealer network. Cat engine service centers - including Empire’s - are staffed by skilled, trained technicians and supported by the latest in technology, tooling and parts.

Cat diesel engines and gas engines feature high reliability, low maintenance and repair costs, and long service life.

Diesel Engines

No matter what kind of equipment you build, there's a Cat diesel engine to fit your needs. Cat diesel engines cover the widest power range in the industry, from 10 to 6598 bhp (8 to 4920 bkW). Our 3600 Family of large-bore diesel engines offer heavy fuel capability. Learn about Cat diesel engine families here. Then follow the links to view or download specifications on models of interest.

Natural Gas Engines

Cat gas engines fit a wide range of industrial applications. Gas engines carry ratings from 55-4705 bhp (41-3509 bkW).

As concern for air quality grows, so does the role of gas engines. Caterpillar developed its first gas engines more than 50 years ago and continues to lead with innovations that deliver high performance and fuel economy as well as clean emissions. Gas engines let you choose the most available or affordable gaseous fuel: natural gas, field gas, propane, landfill gas and digester gas all can be burned cleanly and efficiently.

Gas engines include the Cat Electronic Ignition System, which uses state-of-the-art microprocessor technology to control key parameters such as timing and detonation protection. The EIS also has built-in diagnostics covering nearly every facet of the ignition system.

All Cat gas engines are based on rugged diesel engine frames. That means high reliability, low maintenance and repair costs, and long service life. Components such as blocks, crankshafts, heads, liners and connecting rods are also the same as those used in Cat diesel engines.
