Traction Alternators

Rail Expertise

Kato Engineering understands the urgency and quick response time needed in the rail industry. Therefore, we have multidisciplinary engineering teams that are highly qualified for technical design specifically for rail. This resource allows us to manage global projects with direct input from our Research and Development department.

Rugged construction and superior insulation ensure our generators can handle bumpy, grimy conditions as well as the thermal cycling caused by the constant acceleration and deceleration locomotives must endure.

Mining Expertise

Kato Engineering has almost 30 years of experience in supplying traction power for mine-haul trucks, which are used in some of the harshest environments all over the globe.  Our traction alternators are the premier choice to provide reliable power for today's electric drive systems.

Kato traction alternators’ compact design helps increase vehicle payload along with profitability. Rugged construction and superior insulation ensure they can handle bumpy and grimy conditions as well as thermal cycling caused by the constant acceleration and deceleration that is mine-haul truck duty.
