EmailBuilt for Extreme Conditions
Proven in the field: rigorous endurance testing; thermal, overspeed,cold starts, and emissions, alongside 350,000+ field hours. Heavy-duty design and marine-hardened electronics.
The Cat® C280 commercial propulsion engine series is engineered for high‑utilization workboat applications where power, durability, and uptime matter most. Delivering up to 23% more power with increased durability, the C280 series combines high power density, proven heavy‑duty build, and long service intervals to help operators move more, pull harder, and stay working longer, day after day, compared to previous C280 models.
Proven in the field: rigorous endurance testing; thermal, overspeed,cold starts, and emissions, alongside 350,000+ field hours. Heavy-duty design and marine-hardened electronics.
Delivering 5,420–8,000 bkW at 900–1000 rpm, the C280 series combines exceptional power density with flexible ratings and optimized torque at low speeds, maximizing performance for diverse marine propulsion demands.
Maximize uptime with extended service intervals with up to 1400 hours on select configurations. Supported by clear maintenance plans and backed by Caterpillar’s global network for fast parts, expert technicians, and lifecycle support worldwide.
