When facility managers, data center directors, and industrial operations teams search for uncompromising, mission-critical backup power, one name stands above the rest: Cummins. For decades, Cummins has set the gold standard in heavy-duty power generation, delivering systems capable of maintaining seamless operations when the grid fails. At Central States Diesel Generators, we specialize in sourcing and supplying world-class industrial equipment. Today, we are proud to spotlight a powerhouse currently available in our yard: the Used Cummins DQKC 2000 kW Diesel Generator (CSDG# 5092).
Featuring the legendary QSK60-G6 engine, exceptionally low operating hours, and a robust open-skid configuration located in Waukesha, WI, this unit represents an incredible opportunity for organizations looking to secure enterprise-grade backup power without the multi-year manufacturing lead times.
The Cummins Legacy: Engineering Excellence in High-Capacity Power
In mission-critical environments such as hyperscale data centers, large hospitals, municipal water treatment plants, and heavy manufacturing facilities, power failure is simply not an option. A blackout can result in catastrophic financial losses, compromised patient care, or severe safety hazards. This is why engineering professionals rely on Cummins power generation systems.
Cummins’ global reputation is built on a foundation of rigorous testing, cutting-edge metallurgical engineering, and an unyielding commitment to durability. Every Cummins generator set is engineered as a fully integrated system: where the engine, alternator, and digital control architecture are designed to work in perfect harmony. This holistic approach ensures rapid transient response, tight voltage regulation, and exceptional load-acceptance capabilities, making Cummins the undisputed leader in high-capacity standby and prime power applications.

Ultra-Low Hours: Barely Broken In
When purchasing pre-owned industrial equipment, understanding the operational history is critical. A standard industrial diesel engine of this caliber is designed to run tens of thousands of hours before requiring major overhauls.
This 2002 model has logged only 406 hours of total run time. For a QSK60 engine built for heavy industrial duty, 406 hours means the unit is barely broken in. It has spent the majority of its life maintained in standby readiness, undergoing routine exercising and testing. This presents buyers with a rare opportunity: acquire a proven, heavy-duty 2,000 kW platform with decades of remaining service life at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new factory unit.
Exceptional Value: Megawatt Power at $249,900
Brand-new 2,000 kW generator packages often come with astronomical price tags and lead times stretching upwards of 12 to 24 months. For growing facilities, data center expansions, or urgent infrastructure upgrades waiting two years is simply not viable.
Priced at $249,900 (FOB Waukesha, WI), CSDG# 5092 offers unbeatable economic value. You receive 2,000 kilowatts of clean, reliable standby power backed by Cummins engineering, immediately available for deployment. Whether you are expanding your facility’s power redundancy or upgrading an aging generator fleet, this unit delivers maximum ROI.
