Kubota manufactures a wide range of construction and agricultural products including the Kubota Diesel Generator. Powered by a liquid-cooled diesel engine, the Kubota Lowboy Generator has a reputation for long life and durability.

Portable Diesel Generators

The Lowboy II GL Series incorporates 2- and 3-cylinder EPA Tier 4 Final engines for environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient diesel generators in a compact low-body design. The vertical engine and direct-drive coupling to the alternator and fan reduce overall height and improve efficiency.

Lowboy II Portable Diesel Generators are rated for portable, prime, and standby power. Two-wire start allows the generator to operate as a standby generator in conjunction with an automatic transfer switch (ATS.)

Kubota is a worldwide leader committed to protecting the environment while manufacturing products for a greener world by improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and expanding their use of renewable energy.

A variety of Kubota Generator uses include rural or off-grid backup power, construction sites, remote offices, events, and mobile applications. Equipped for forklift carry or a crane lift, the generators can go almost anywhere while the low profile reduces the space required for placement.

Design features include options for use with extension cords, generator cords, and terminal connections. Two-wire start capability allows use with an automatic transfer switch. Average noise levels at 21 feet measure lower than most gasoline and diesel-powered portables in the same class. Efficient engine design and Kubota's original E-TVCS combustion system reduce HC and CO emissions. The Lowboy II Series generators meet U.S Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board Tier 4 Final emissions requirements.

A Technician Performs Preventative Maintenance on a Kubota Lowboy Pro 14kW GeneratorPortable in the sense that the design allows placement where you need it today, and someplace else tomorrow. The Kubota Diesel Generators come equipped for placement with a lift hook or forklift. The GL7000 weighs 518 pounds dry and the GL14000 comes in at just over 900 pounds.

Each model comes with appropriate receptacles and a terminal option. Receptacles allow use with extension or generator cords. Terminal connections provide connections to a circuit breaker panel as a prime power source or to a transfer switch—either manual or automatic.

The liquid-cooled diesel engine stays cooler during extended operation in hot weather. Cooler operation means a longer engine life. Operate the diesel generator all day on construction sites or throughout an event. A 200-hour maintenance interval means it can handle a month of 8-hour shifts between oil changes, or a whole week of 24/7 operation. Single-side maintenance for easy oil and filter changes.

Put the Kubota Portable Generator on a trailer and take it wherever you need reliable, clean power in any environment.

Kubota Lowboy Generator

Kubota Lowboy Portable Diesel Generator at a construction site.Kubota reduced the height of the Lowboy GL series Generator by using a vertical diesel engine direct coupled to the alternator at the rear of the engine. At the front, a pulley-belt arrangement drives the fan and water pump, and the battery charging alternator.

A single panel on the side of the generator provides easy access for all maintenance requirements. Through the access panel are the oil gauge, oil filter, oil fill tube, fuel filter, water tank, battery, and air cleaner. Kubota includes engine oil and coolant drain extensions to simplify and assist with on-time oil and coolant changes. The generator shuts down automatically for low oil conditions or high coolant temperatures.

The Norwall Kubota Lowboy Product Line includes three models: the GL14000, GL11000, and GL7000. Design features include an integrated fuel tank and a 2 or 3-cylinder diesel engine. Outlets have their own circuit breakers and the generator has a main breaker to protect from diesel generator overload.
