When a business needs dependable power for a hospital, data center, manufacturing facility, airport, mining operation, or other critical-load application, generator quality matters. The right system must deliver high output, start reliably, operate safely, and remain serviceable for years.
Central States Diesel Generators currently offers a particularly strong example of industrial standby power: a used Kohler 2000REOZMD diesel generator, cataloged as CSDG# 4884. This low-hour, 2,000 kW generator combines Kohler power-system engineering with a proven Mitsubishi industrial diesel engine and a turnkey package designed for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
The unit has only 223 hours, was manufactured in 2018, and is available for $449,900. It is located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and is ready to ship nationwide.

Kohler: A Century of Power-System Experience
Kohler entered the power-generation business in 1920, introducing the Kohler Automatic Power & Light system to provide electricity for homes and farms without utility service. Since then, Kohler has expanded from early residential systems into a global manufacturer of industrial generators, engines, alternators, controls, and complete power solutions.
That history is important when evaluating a used industrial generator. Kohler is not simply a name attached to a packaged engine. The company has spent more than a century developing integrated power systems for applications where reliability, durability, and long service life are essential.
Kohler generator sets are widely recognized for robust construction, dependable controls, and application-focused engineering. Their equipment is commonly specified for commercial buildings, health-care facilities, data centers, industrial plants, telecommunications sites, and other locations where an unexpected outage can create significant operational or financial consequences.
This 2000REOZMD reflects that industrial focus. It is a large, high-capacity diesel generator designed to support critical electrical loads: not a light-duty backup unit intended for occasional residential use.
Mitsubishi S16R-Y2PTAW2-1: A Proven Industrial Workhorse
At the heart of this Kohler generator is a Mitsubishi S16R-Y2PTAW2-1 diesel engine, rated at 2,923 horsepower at 1,800 RPM.
Mitsubishi industrial diesel engines have earned a reputation as durable, heavy-duty workhorses in power-generation applications. The S16R platform is built for high-output service, with the displacement, cylinder count, and industrial construction required to support demanding generator loads.
For a facility manager or procurement team, the engine is one of the most important parts of a generator evaluation. The engine must provide sufficient reserve power, respond quickly when the generator starts, and maintain stable performance under changing electrical loads. The S16R-Y2PTAW2-1 provides the substantial power reserve needed for this 2 MW-class package.
The result is a dependable pairing: Kohler system integration and controls combined with Mitsubishi engine power.
Only 223 Hours on a 2018 Generator
This Kohler 2000REOZMD has accumulated just 223 hours. For a 2018 industrial generator, that is exceptionally low operating time.
Low hours do not replace the need for inspection, maintenance, and proper commissioning. However, they can be a significant advantage when comparing used diesel generators. A low-hour unit may offer reduced wear on major engine components, the alternator, cooling system, and other operating equipment compared with a generator that has spent years in continuous or rental service.
With its low operating hours and large industrial platform, this unit offers an opportunity to acquire substantial standby capacity without waiting through the long lead times often associated with new 2,000 kW generator packages.
The generator is rated for:
- 2,000 kW standby power
- 1,820 kW prime power
- EPA Tier 2 emissions
- 60 Hz operation
- 277/480-volt, three-phase output
The standby rating is suited to emergency backup applications in which the generator operates during utility outages. The prime rating applies to applications requiring extended or regular operation, subject to the appropriate operating conditions, maintenance program, and installation requirements.
Built as a Turnkey Industrial Power Package
CSDG# 4884 includes much more than an engine and alternator. Its equipment package is configured for customers seeking a substantial, installation-ready power solution.
Level 4 Sound-Attenuated Enclosure
The generator is housed in an aluminum Level 4 sound-attenuated enclosure manufactured by GPC. The package is rated at approximately 68 dBA at 23 feet, helping reduce operating noise for commercial, institutional, and industrial sites where sound levels are a concern.
The enclosure also provides protection from outdoor conditions and helps shield critical components from weather, debris, and unauthorized access.
Large New Fuel Tank with Secondary Containment
The package includes a new 4,150-gallon UL 142 fuel tank with secondary containment. Fuel storage of this scale can provide valuable operating autonomy during extended outages, especially when fuel deliveries may be delayed by severe weather, regional emergencies, or infrastructure disruptions.
The UL 142 construction and secondary-containment design are important considerations for facilities planning an outdoor diesel generator installation. Final installation must still comply with applicable fire, environmental, electrical, and local code requirements.
UL 2200 Listed Package and IBC Seismic Certification
The Kohler 2000REOZMD package is UL 2200 listed and includes IBC Seismic certification. These specifications can simplify project review for engineers, contractors, and facility teams working on commercial or mission-critical installations.
Seismic certification is especially relevant for facilities located in areas with applicable structural and equipment-restraint requirements. As with any generator project, the installation design should be reviewed by qualified electrical and structural professionals to verify that the equipment and site requirements align.
Cooling for High-Ambient Conditions
The engine cooling radiator is rated for a 50°C/122°F ambient temperature. This high-ambient capability gives the package additional suitability for demanding environments where elevated outdoor temperatures may affect generator cooling performance.
Proper airflow, clearance, exhaust routing, and installation design remain essential, but the radiator rating is a valuable specification for customers planning installations in hot climates or enclosed equipment areas.
Decision-Maker 550 Controls and Electrical Features
The generator uses a Kohler Decision-Maker 550 digital control panel. Kohler’s Decision-Maker control family is designed to provide operators with an integrated interface for generator monitoring, protection, control, and system status.
For facility personnel, a digital control panel can make it easier to review operating conditions, identify alarms, monitor key parameters, and coordinate the generator with the site’s electrical system. The package also includes a SENS battery charger and a 240-volt coolant heater, supporting readiness during cold-weather conditions and extended standby periods.
Additional electrical specifications include:
- 2,000-amp main-line circuit breaker
- 100% rated breaker
- PMG: permanent magnet generator
- 3/60/277/480V configuration
The 100% rated main-line circuit breaker is designed for continuous operation at its marked rating when installed in accordance with applicable requirements. The PMG excitation system can help support generator excitation and voltage response under demanding load conditions.
Dimensions, Weight, and Installation Planning
A generator of this capacity requires careful site and logistics planning. CSDG# 4884 measures approximately:
- 126 inches wide
- 474 inches long, plus a 158-inch intake hood
- 157 inches high
- 66,400 pounds
These dimensions and weight affect transportation, unloading, crane requirements, foundation design, access clearances, fuel-system planning, ventilation, and electrical interconnection. Before purchasing, customers should confirm that their site can accommodate the complete package, including the enclosure, fuel tank, intake hood, exhaust system, service clearances, and required access for maintenance.
The CSDG team can help customers evaluate the specifications and coordinate shipping from Waukesha, WI to facilities throughout the United States.
