Trailer mounted diesel generator set

The FT8 Mobilepac is 25 MW of power on wheels.

Pratt & Whitney Power Systems’ FT8 Mobilepac is a self-contained, gas turbine-powered electric generating unit using PWPS’ efficient FT8 gas turbine. This new mobile package consists of two primary units – the power trailer and the control trailer. The power trailer contains the gas turbine and the electric generator, while the control trailer houses the electrical control unit.

While the FT8 Swiftpac has an installation period of three weeks, the Mobilepac can be operating in less than one day (site ready). It is the perfect solution for providing emergency and peaking power needs.

The Mobilepac requires the smallest footprint in the industry for a mobile power plant. This allows the Mobilepac to be installed in almost any location and conveniently relocated or combined with other units to meet an area’s emergency or temporary power needs. The unit is transportable by land, sea or air to anywhere in the world.

Modular options can be added to allow long-term environmentally compatible operation. Just like the proven FT8, the Mobilepac can run on either gas or liquid fuel. Another benefit of the Mobilepac is the option for black start capability.
