Adequate, convenient power is a must – and anything less than the dependability and proven performance of Kubota is a gamble. The Kubota GL Series generators are designed to deliver reliable power with a durable, compact design and features that enhance usability and peace of mind. Whether you’re powering tools on a construction site, ensuring a remote office stays operational or keeping a food truck running, selecting the right generator for your application is key! 

 

Selecting the right generator from Kubota starts with understanding your power needs: 

• Consider the application: Different industries have different power needs. Construction sites, rental applications, industrial use and farming all require specific wattage and capabilities. 

• Determine power requirements: Every device you plan to power has a specific wattage requirement. For example, a laptop might require 80W, while an air compressor could need up to 2000W. Calculating your total wattage needs ensures you select the right generator. 

• Consider size and portability: If mobility is important, a compact and portable generator may be the best choice. 

• Environmental conditions: Will the generator be exposed to extreme temperatures or rough conditions? Choose a model designed for durability and reliability in your environment. 

  

Applications for Kubota GL Series generators 

Kubota offers three powerful generator models: GL7000, GL11000 and GL14000. Each model is suited for different applications based on its power output. 

 

GL7000 (7kW output) 

The GL7000 is a compact and versatile option, ideal for: 

• Construction: Powering electric tools, small air compressors, heaters, lighting and remote offices. 

• Rental: Providing electricity at remote party locations, powering product demos or supporting general remote power needs. 

• Industrial: Supporting food service trailers and small-scale industrial applications. 

• Farming: Running well pumps, tools and workshop equipment. 

• Portable stand-by: Great for race team trailers, small retail businesses and emergency backup needs. 

  

GL11000 (11kW output) 

A step up in power, the GL11000 offers a higher capacity for more demanding applications: 

• Construction: Running electric lifts, cement polishers and remote site offices. 

• Rental: Ideal for the same applications as the GL7000, with more power. 

• Industrial: Supporting ground heaters, cell tower maintenance and food trucks. 

• Farming: Providing power for well pumps and farm equipment. 

• Portable stand-by: A reliable backup for small offices and commercial marine applications. 

  

GL14000 (14kW output) 

For those who need maximum power output, the GL14000 is the ultimate solution: 

• Construction: Powering office trailers, large air compressors, lift equipment, battery charging and electric appliances. 

• Rental: Ideal for large remote events, general power needs and product demonstration setups. 

• Industrial: Supporting ground heaters, food trucks and essential industrial equipment. 

• Farming: Providing power for workshops, accessories and well pump sprinklers. 

• Portable stand-by: A reliable solution for retail shops, medium-sized offices and commercial marine use. 

  

Why Choose Kubota? 

Kubota GL Series generators offer more than just power. They come packed with features that ensure longevity, efficiency and ease of use: 

• Compact design: Low profile for easy transport and installation. 

• Easy one-side maintenance: Convenient access for routine service and fluid changes. 

• Receptacle vs. Terminal options: Available in different configurations for flexibility. 

  

Know Your Wattage Before You Buy 

Before selecting your generator, calculate your power requirements carefully. For example: 

• A laptop might only need 80W, while a television may require up to 500W.* 

• A hand drill on a job site might take 600W, but an air compressor could demand 2000W. 

 

Additionally, it’s important to consider motor starting into the total wattage needed, not just continuous power. In the above example, the hand drill might only need 600W for continued power, but may require 4x the wattage for startup, resulting in a total of 2400W. The right-sized generator needs to have the intermittent capacity to handle the entire load, so consider all the devices you will want to power. 

Choosing the right generator is more than just picking a model – it’s about ensuring seamless operation for your business, project or event. With Kubota’s GL Series, you get reliability, efficiency and the power to tackle any challenge. No matter the industry, Kubota keeps you running when it matters most.
