- CAT RP7500E is a 7500-Watts portable gasoline generator built for construction and residential use. It runs on a large robust 420cc OHV Caterpillar engine that has an electric and a pull start system. Starting Power is 9375-Watts and Running Power is 7500-Watts.
- This 120V / 240V @ 60-Hz portable generator operates quietly without disturbing the neighbors.

- It features the long-lasting lithium-ion battery that recharges itself when the generator is running.
- This model has an efficient alternator that adjusts the engine speed to the load without dropping power to other appliances. The Automatic Voltage Regulator guards all the expensive sensitive electronics against voltage spikes that damage microchips.

CAT RP7500E is specially designed for construction and residential use. It can be used for off-the-grid projects. Storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, and wildfires bring down power lines.

It allows you to keep communication devices charged so you can keep connected to family, friends, and work. The LED-lit control panel allows you to operate it in the dark.
CAT RP7500E is also RV ready with its 30-amp receptacles. Use it to power the RV’s air conditioner, fans, lights, TV, microwave, and coffee maker.

The model has a smart alternator with an AVR that manages voltage surges so your sensitive devices and electronics do not get damaged. This fuel-efficient generator comes with a Lithium-Ion battery that keeps recharging itself while the generator runs. Low cost, safety features, self-charging battery, and a large fuel tank make it the best choice for home, work and play.

Solid Generator
I tried it tonight during a short power outage. Performed with no issues, a workhorse.

Awesome Generator
I replaced two 7000w generators with two of these CAT RP7500e. My 14 year old generators lacked features like AVR, runtime monitors, fuel shutoff, and only put out about 115V (reliable, but not for sensitive electronics). The units are well built, and I have done a number of tests with them already and they have performed wonderfully.
I like not having to plug them in to charge, that is a great feature, plus they do have a pull cord if needed (hopefully I don't). Battery location is optimal, and the negative terminal even has a disconnect. Future replacement of the battery looks simple.
The only item I think they could have done better would have been metal hubs for the wheels painted in CAT yellow. It would have rounded out the look of the unit giving it an even higher end feel. That is hardly a complaint, just a suggestion for the next revision!
3yr warranty when you register, takes two minutes to complete. Setup takes an hour or less. Get some wood blocks to get the unit up in the air about 6 inches and the foot mounts and wheels are easy to put on. Tools are provided, but a socket set is also helpful.
Lastly ordering from AP Electric couldn't have been easier. Order was promply shipped directly from CAT. One shipment arrived via XPO the other SAIA. Both companies were excellent and units arrived in perfect condition. -
works as expected
Just a bit loud starts right up just what you would expect from Caterpillar

So happy with our purchase

Can't beat CAT quality
I have had my Caterpillar RP7500 for a couple of months. Absolute beast. This genertor will last me a life time. No cheap components use in this generator. Shipped quickly as well.

Excellent
I use my generator weekly for on average 20 - 25 hours a week. I have had no issues with this Caterpillar generator and I have owned it for about 6 months now. I call it the beast.

Wow
The caterpillar RP 7500 might be a bit more expensive but worth every penny. I reside in Puerto Rico. I ordered 15 of this unit for myself, friends and family. Ran these generators non-stop for almost 75 days. Works the same now as it did on day one. Also appears to be easier on the gas than other generators as I fill mine up less frequently than the neighbors fill up theirs. Great company to do business with. They even gave my a quantity discount when everybody else was raising their prices on the units. Strongly recommend

Can't Beat Caterpilllar Reliablity
The RP7500 is a beast. Bottom line you can't beat Caterpillar reliability. I have had this generator now for 6 months. Gets used daily. Runs in the rain etc. Not one issue after approximately 800 hours.

Great Generator for a Superb Price
I received the generator at the very end of 2017 because I live in a very small town that happens to lose power a lot. It works perfectly.
