Hawthorne Cat Expands Corporate Campus In Rancho Bernardo, California
09/08/2015
According to Kirk Fowkes, Vice President of Hawthorne’s Power Division, “Caterpillar’s output capabilities keeps growing and this modernization provides Hawthorne with industry-leading premier assets. This significant facility expansion will provide unmatched customer resources, greater than any others in our service territory.”
As part of a 55,000 square-foot building upgrade, the new Dyno Shop engine testing capability will help Hawthorne Cat meet the growing market demands over the next 20 years. The 5,000 square-foot Engine and Generator Test Center will include engine flywheel dynamometer testing up to 4,250 horsepower, indoor generator resistive/reactive load bank testing up to 3,300 KW, outdoor generator testing up to 8,000 horsepower, and truck chassis dynamometer testing of up to 1,000 horsepower. A twenty-ton crane system will also be added to the existing weld and fabrication building, allowing generators to be moved for testing and placed into ISO compliant containers.
Additionally, Hawthorne Cat will centralize its Power Systems operations, including sales, power rental, field services, truck services and administration at the expanded campus, company officials said. The transition will begin in October 2015 with full occupancy expected by early 2016.
