Bobcat Introduces the PG1140 Portable Generator
Bobcat Company recently unveiled its PG1140 portable generator. The new unit delivers enhanced output, simplified logistics and advanced load management — all in a single portable power generator package.
“The Bobcat PG1140 integrates two PG570 portable generators into a single, 48-ft trailer, combining power output while significantly reducing transport and setup costs,” said Bobby Ranker, product specialist II, Bobcat Company. “It’s designed to withstand rigorous applications while ensuring reliability, operator well-being and productivity at every stage.”
Bobcat’s PG1140 is powered by dual Cummins X15 engines and operates without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The company said this design eliminates the need for a minimum load. It also ensures reliable performance even in temperatures as low as -13°F (-25°C).
From the press release:
With over 1,300 gallons of onboard fuel and 92 gallons of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), the PG1140 offers more than 27 hours of runtime at 75% load. This extended capacity minimizes refueling needs and maximizes operational uptime. An oversized alternator ensures stable power output and supports applications with high motor starting demands.
The PG1140 was designed with safety in mind. For example, the trailer’s high clearance and modular safety railings with ladder improve site mobility and operator protection. Bobcat explained that ground-accessible switchgear and controls simplify operation. The trailer also accommodates power distribution equipment such as cabling and spider boxes behind the switchgear to streamline logistics.
Bobcat highlighted these additional features:
- Delivers 1140 kVA (912 kW) at 60 Hz frequency
- Link board panel for flexible voltage configuration
- Shore power access for block heaters and battery chargers
- Tier 4 final emissions
The company said the PG1140 is available at Bobcat dealerships across North America.
