Powerful but compact generator from Atlas Copco

Atlas Copco is now offering an updated version of its proven QAS 60 generator that is designed to provide greater mobility. A smaller footprint allows for 12 QAS 60 generators to be fitted into a standard container. The firm has made the design more compact as this helps cut transportation costs for its customers, especially those in the rental business. The new QAS 60 is less than 2.4m long so it can be placed sideways on a truck. This allows more units to be carried on a truck and also ensures easier

161 Atlas Copco is now offering an updated version of its proven QAS 60 generator that is designed to provide greater mobility. A smaller footprint allows for 12 QAS 60 generators to be fitted into a standard container.

The firm has made the design more compact as this helps cut transportation costs for its customers, especially those in the rental business. The new QAS 60 is less than 2.4m long so it can be placed sideways on a truck. This allows more units to be carried on a truck and also ensures easier loading and unloading.

The new QAS 60 delivers the same output and performance as the previous model, retaining the proven 299 Perkins power unit and the only major change is the alternator, which is now a smaller Leroy Somer model. Other features include the tough, impact-resistant Zincor steel coated canopy and rugged skid mounted frame. The QAS 60 controller has been updated to the latest state-of-the-art models that will shortly be rolled out across all Atlas Copco QAS and QAC generators. The new Qc1103 controller comes as standard on the QAS 60. The Qc2103 is available as an option. The new controllers have a large, fully digital display for an increased number of inputs and outputs and can be programmed to record the historic log, current and power measurements and load balance. For increased flexibility, the Qc1103 controller can be used to connect multiple generators in parallel via a USB connection.
