Looking for serious industrial power without the new equipment price tag? The Used Kohler 1000ROZM with Mitsubishi S12H-PTA diesel generator might just be exactly what you need. We’ve got these robust units in stock and ready to ship, offering you premium power generation at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Let’s dive into why this particular combination of Kohler generator technology and Mitsubishi engine reliability makes such a compelling choice for businesses that can’t afford downtime.

Why Kohler Generators Lead the Industry

When it comes to industrial diesel generators, Kohler has been setting the standard for over a century. Their reputation isn’t built on marketing fluff: it’s earned through decades of keeping critical facilities powered when the lights go out everywhere else.

Kohler’s engineering philosophy centers around reliability and longevity. The 1000ROZM series represents their commitment to heavy-duty industrial applications, featuring robust construction that’s designed to handle the demanding loads of hospitals, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and large commercial operations.

What sets Kohler apart is their integrated approach to power generation. They don’t just slap components together: every element from the alternator to the control system is designed to work seamlessly as a complete power solution. The Decision-Maker 3+ control panel that comes standard with these units gives you comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities that many competitors charge extra for.

Mitsubishi Engines: Built to Last

The heart of this generator is the Mitsubishi S12H-PTA engine, and there’s a reason Kohler chose to partner with Mitsubishi for their heavy-duty applications. Mitsubishi engines are legendary in industrial circles for their durability and fuel efficiency.

This particular engine delivers 1,448 horsepower at 1800 RPM, providing plenty of power reserves for demanding applications. The S12H-PTA is a naturally aspirated, liquid-cooled diesel that’s built like a tank. We’re talking about an engine that’s designed to run for thousands of hours with minimal maintenance when properly cared for.

The EPA Tier 1 emissions certification means you’re getting clean power generation that meets environmental standards without sacrificing performance. Plus, Mitsubishi’s reputation for fuel efficiency helps keep your operating costs down: something that becomes increasingly important when you’re running extended hours during outages.

Technical Specifications That Matter

Let’s get into the numbers that really matter when you’re specifying power generation equipment:

Power Output:

  • 1,020 kW standby power (1,275 kVA)
  • 925 kW prime power (1,156 kVA)
  • 277/480V, 3-phase, 60Hz output

Engine Performance:

  • Mitsubishi S12H-PTA diesel engine
  • 1,448 HP at 1,800 RPM
  • Naturally aspirated with liquid cooling
  • Built-in engine-driven radiator system

Physical Dimensions:

  • Open skid: 81″ W x 183″ L x 98″ H
  • Weight: Approximately 21,600 pounds
  • 1,600 amp main-line circuit breaker included

The permanent magnet generator (PMG) provides excellent voltage regulation, ensuring your sensitive electronic equipment gets clean, stable power. This is crucial for data centers, medical facilities, and manufacturing operations with precision equipment.

Current Inventory: Ready to Ship

Here’s where it gets exciting: we currently have Used Kohler 1000ROZM units in stock with incredibly low hours. We’re talking about a 2000 model year unit with just 503 operating hours priced at $69,900. That’s less than one month of continuous operation for a generator that could easily run for decades with proper maintenance.

We also have a 2002 model with only 245 hours that includes additional premium features like a sound-attenuated enclosure and 2,100-gallon double-wall fuel tank with secondary containment. These low-hour units are essentially like-new condition at used equipment prices.

The beauty of buying used industrial generators like these is that diesel engines actually benefit from regular operation. A generator that’s been properly maintained and exercised is often more reliable than one that’s been sitting unused for years. These units represent the sweet spot: low enough hours to have plenty of life left, but enough operational history to prove their reliability.

Applications Where This Generator Excels

With over 1 megawatt of standby power, this isn’t your typical backup generator. We’re talking about serious industrial applications:

Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and surgical centers that absolutely cannot lose power during critical procedures rely on generators exactly like this one.

Data Centers: With the explosion of cloud computing and data storage, facilities need rock-solid backup power that can handle massive electrical loads without breaking a sweat.

Manufacturing: Production lines that can’t afford downtime: especially in industries like automotive, pharmaceutical, or food processing where stopping production costs thousands per minute.

Large Commercial Buildings: Shopping centers, office complexes, and mixed-use developments that need to keep essential systems running during extended outages.

Value Proposition: Why Used Makes Sense

Let’s be honest about pricing. A new Kohler 1000kW generator can easily cost $300,000 to $400,000 or more, depending on configuration and options. Our used units with low hours are priced around $70,000: that’s roughly 75% savings while getting essentially the same performance and reliability.

Consider this: most industrial diesel generators are designed for 30,000+ hour service life with proper maintenance. A unit with 500 hours has used less than 2% of its expected operational life. You’re getting nearly new equipment at used equipment prices.

Plus, buying used means immediate availability. While new generators often have lead times measured in months, our used units are inspected, tested, and ready to ship. When you need backup power, you need it now: not six months from now.

Installation and Support Considerations

These generators are designed for straightforward installation with minimal site preparation requirements. The open skid design allows for easy access to all components for maintenance, and the engine-driven cooling system eliminates the need for external cooling water connections.

The integrated battery charger and coolant heater come standard, ensuring reliable cold-weather starting and maintaining battery readiness during standby periods. The Decision-Maker 3+ control panel provides comprehensive diagnostics and can integrate with building management systems for remote monitoring.
