Kubota GL11000-USA

Kubota generators are designed for many applications where power is needed. Kubota generators are manufactured to commercial specifications using the latest manufacturing technologies. All models are built with the quality and reliability you would expect from a leading generator manufacturer.

The brush type alternator used on this model is manufactured to exacting specifications using the latest mass production methods. Kubota generators use technology to control the voltage with a voltage variation less than 3% throughout the entire power range. That means you can use this generator with computers and sensitive electronics, safely, with no sacrifice in performance.

Dimensions: Enclosed dimensions are 50.4" Long X 24.3" Wide X 27.5" High. Enclosed weight is 650 lbs. Enclosed quietness is 68 db at 7 meters.

Features & Highlights - Kubota Diesel Generator GL Series GL11000, Lowboy II Series

Kubota Lowboy II saves space and the environment.

The Lowboy II Series is designed to have the minimum possible height while using the vertical diesel engines. This is achieved by direct coupling of the engine crankshaft with the cooling fan. Since they require less space for operation, the range of possible applications has been greatly increased.

Dependable Generation
Direct Coupled: The generator and the engine are direct-coupled to ensure a more reliable power supply with minimum power loss.

A Skewed Rotor & Damper Winding: The wave form distortion is kept to a minimum by the skewed rotor, while the damper winding protects the generator during short circuits and regulates voltage fluctuations during changing loads.

Clean Emissions
The diesel engines selected to power the Lowboy II Series produce far less soot, HC and CO emissions thanks to Kubota's original E-TVCS combustion system. Both Z482 and D722 passed the USA EPA emission Tier 4 regulation.

Ease of Operation
Lower and More Compact: The Lowboy II Series is designed to have the minimum possible height while using vertical diesel engines.

Lower Noise Levels: Four separate improvements help reduced the overall noise levels. First, the large capacity radiator successfully reduces fan related noise by direct coupling its crankshaft with the slower-speed fan. Second, the large capacity, built-in muffler helps reduce exhaust related noise. Third, the longer air cleaner hose reduces air suction related noise. Fourth, the ideally placed inlet vent and its improved design reduce noise coming from the enclosure's opening.

Longer Continuous Operation: The Lowboy II Series large capacity (28L/7.4 gal.) fuel tank enables longer continuous operation on a single tank of fuel.

Outstanding Transportability: The special forklift openings on the base of the machine, and the one-point lifting eye enhanced transportability. A remote control kit is also available as an option.

Access Terminals for ATS make Wiring Easy: Access terminals for ATS (automatic transfer switch/not supplied by Kubota) are located behind the control panel. (Requires additional equipment purchase.)

Carefree Maintenance
One side maintenance. Oil, fuel, battery and cooling water are all located on one side for easy maintenance

Larger-Capacity Oil Pan: This helps stretching the oil change intervals, thus reducing the overall running costs.

Direct-Coupled: Eliminated the time needed to adjust or replace the cog-belt by direct coupling the generator and the engine.

Double Element Air Cleaners: All LowBoy II generators come with the double element air cleaners as standard equipment. Ideal for heavy duty applications in dusty environments.

Increased Safety
Double Circuit Breakers: In addition to the overall circuit protector, each receptacle also has a circuit protector that will shut the engine down to prevent it from overcurrent damages.

Protective Covers: All moving parts of the engine's cooling fan and the generator are covered.

Automatic Shutdown System: This system automatically shuts the engine down when it senses the engine coolant temperature rising excessively or the oil pressure dropping below a safe level.

Start Safety Relay: This relay prevents the starter from engaging again once the engine starts up.

Transfer Switches: The automatic transfer switch monitors utility and generator power. When utility power fails or is unsatisfactory, the transfer switch control starts the generator set, checks the generator speed and voltage output and transfers the load to the generator set. When utility power is restored the transfer switch automatically transfers back to utility power. The generator is allowed to cool down for a short period and then shuts down. The system instantly resets itself and is ready for the next power interruption. No action is required by the user.

You must select a transfer switch that is the same size in amps (or larger) then your building service or sub-panel. The transfer switch must also be the same size in amps (or larger) than the maximum output of the generator you select. Example: If you have a 12 kW generator operating at 120 VAC single phase, (100 Amps) and a 200 amp building service you need a 200 Amp transfer switch or you must install a 100 Amp sub-panel. Transfer switches should be installed by a licensed electrician. For more information on transfer switches please see About Transfer Switches.

Select a transfer switch to go with your generator from the drop down option list on this page under Product Options. The transfer switches shown are compatible with this generator. If you need additional transfer switch poles, auxiliary contacts or communications features see ASCO Transfer Switches. For special needs, volume purchases and other questions, call your GeneratorJoe sales representative at 707 542-2224 for assistance. All ASCO switches are shipped FREE when you purchase the switch with a generator.
