The Kubota 7kW Diesel-Powered Portable Generator GL7000 is a commercial mobile generator designed to deliver dependable portable power for jobsites, commercial operations, and other demanding applications. Combining a compact, low-profile design with a direct-coupled engine and generator configuration, the GL7000 provides a practical balance of power, durability, ease of operation, and transportability.
Power comes from a Kubota Z482 2-cylinder, 10.9 HP diesel engine operating at 3,600 RPM. The liquid-cooled engine is paired with a 60 Hz alternator and produces 7kW of rated power at 120/240 volts, with a rated output of 27 amps. The electric-start system simplifies operation, while the low-oil alert and hour meter provide useful monitoring for routine operation and maintenance.
The GL7000 is designed with a lower and more compact profile to help minimize overall height without sacrificing its commercial-oriented construction. Its steel enclosure provides a durable housing for mobile applications, while the generator's design emphasizes outstanding transportability for use across different jobsites and operating locations.
A 7.4-gallon diesel fuel tank provides up to 16.5 hours of runtime at 50% load, supporting extended operation between refueling. The GL7000 also features a visual tube fuel indicator and a versatile receptacle configuration consisting of a GFCI-protected 5-20R outlet, L5-30R, L6-30R, and L14-30R receptacles. With a rated sound level of 66 dB(A) at 23 feet, the Kubota GL7000 is built to provide reliable and convenient portable power for professional users.
