EQUIPMENT

Cat equipment sets the standard for our industry. The Cat product line of more than 300 machines reflects our increased focus on customer success. We will remain the leader by continuing to help our customers meet their needs with durable and reliable equipment. Caterpillar has the best distribution and product support system in any capital goods industry.

Power Generation

Whether for Standby, Prime Power, Base Load, or Load Management capability - from 15 KW to 100 MW - CAT power generators excel at meeting your energy demands.

Our standby generators are available in Single Units and Paralleled Systems and can use diesel, propane, natural gas, and digester gas. Whether it's to create a gen-set or simply a standalone generator, we can design and specify everything from size to installation details, from the fuel system and exhaust systems to the switchgear, transfer switches, and control systems. We can then integrate that power source with all the systems in its environment. And to make sure everything is backed up, we have battery and flywheel UPS's on hand.

The top choice for many utility companies, Thompson has the solution for heavy power users looking to minimize their utility bills. We can analyze your typical power needs, determine your peak usage level under the best rate structure, and design and install a load management generator that keeps you within your rate structure. Best of all, with our financing solutions, many of our load management systems pay for themselves with the savings realized on monthly power bills.

Whether you're renting or buying, we take complete responsibility for supplying you with the ideal CAT power generator to fit your needs. It's why customers ranging from regional hospitals, financial and computer centers to waste water plants trust Thompson Power Systems to keep their facilities powered - no matter what.
