Kubota GL7000 Details and Specifications

Kubota Diesel Generator GL Series GL7000, 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, regulates voltage fluctuations during condensive loads, and withstands load fluctuations during condensive and non-linear 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 redcuce 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 exhuast 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) 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 overll running costs.

Direct-Coupled:  Eliminated the time neede 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.
