Atlas Copco’s new QAS 600 generator is the largest model in the QAS range. Rated at 575 kVA at 60 Hz, the QAS 600 is powered by a Volvo TAD 1641 GE diesel engine and a 239-gal. (905 L) standard fuel tank that ensures continuous operation at full load for a complete shift. With standard features that maximize safety and minimize environmental impact, the QAS 600 is designed for easy transportation and onsite handling, making it ideal for rental, industrial, public utility and construction applications where continuous power is needed, according to the manufacturer.

The QAS 600 is housed in zinc plated steel with a powder coat finish, which provides optimum resistance against corrosion. The housing also has been designed to reduce noise. The QAS 600 operates at 77 dB(A) at 60 Hz, making it ideal for operation in noise sensitive areas.

The enclosure also features an integrated lifting structure that includes forklift slots, which facilitate safe and efficient handling, and an integrated bumper to protect against impact. In addition, the integrated lifting structure is positioned at the center point of gravity for correct balancing, and is designed to support at least four times the maximum weight without breaking. The sturdy spillage-free frame is a 110-percent containment base for all the necessary liquids such as oil, coolant and fuel, offering maximum environmental protection.
