  • Choose from towable, standby, portable, and multi-megawatt generator rentals
  • Match diesel or natural gas power equipment to construction sites, events, facilities, and industrial applications
  • Run units in parallel to increase power output or add redundancy for critical operations

Frequently Asked Questions
When Should I Consider a Generator Rental for My Business?

Renting is a smart choice any time you need reliable temporary power. A generator rental can support operations at remote jobsites, facilities without grid access, or as backup during an outage. It’s also a fast way to replace a unit under repair or handle increased power demand. If you’re exploring a purchase, a rental lets you test a model before you buy to ensure it meets your needs.

What Types of Cat Power Equipment Are Available to Rent?

The Cat Rental Store offers a full lineup of Cat® power equipment, including diesel and natural gas generators in a range of sizes and configurations. Whether you need a portable generator rental for a small site or a large unit for industrial use, our equipment delivers clean, dependable, and cost-effective power in demanding conditions.

Can I Run Generators in Parallel?

Yes. Many Cat units can be paralleled to increase total power output or create redundancy for mission-critical applications. Our team can help configure your system for optimal performance and reliability.
