Exported Caterpillar Generator Powers Nigerian Healthcare Facility
Overview: Reliable Backup Generator for Hospital Infrastructure
In April 2025, Target Power successfully supplied and exported a Caterpillar DE150EO diesel generator to Kanu Achinivu Ltd., a UK-based healthcare organisation supporting the development of a new hospital in Nigeria. Designed to provide essential backup power for critical healthcare equipment, the generator was delivered along with a 2000L DyMac fuel tank and a complete generator parts pack for long-term serviceability.
The project was completed within one week, including configuration, preparation, and delivery to a UK-based export partner for onward shipment to Nigeria.

Why the Generator Was Needed
The client—a UK-based neuropsychologist—was building a new healthcare facility in Nigeria and required a robust diesel generator for medical backup power. Due to unreliable grid supply and the sensitive nature of healthcare equipment, having stable and uninterrupted power was critical to hospital operations and patient safety.
Overcoming Challenges: Fuel Quality in Export Destinations
One of the main challenges was addressing fuel contamination, a known issue in regions like Nigeria where watered-down diesel can cause severe engine damage (e.g., to cylinder heads and con-rods). Our engineering team provided a bespoke solution:
Dual Fuel Filtration System: We installed a secondary fuel water separator to the generator.
Fuel Management Valve System: Fuel crossover valves were added for seamless switching between the generator’s base tank and the external 2000L DyMac fuel tank.
Tamper-Proof Fuel Tank: The DyMac tank is lockable and tamper-resistant, making it ideal for remote or high-risk areas.
Why the Caterpillar DE150EO Was the Ideal Choice
The Caterpillar DE150EO is a trusted option for export generator applications, offering:
Proven reliability for healthcare and industrial use
Quiet operation, perfect for hospital environments
Advanced DSE control panel with automatic start
Compatibility with bulk fuel tanks
Durability for hot climates and extended runtime
These features made it the perfect fit for powering hospital equipment, air conditioning, lighting, and IT infrastructure in a challenging off-grid environment.
Additional Services & Generator Parts Supplied
To ensure long-term operation and ease of maintenance, we provided a complete generator parts kit, including:
5x Water separators
5x Fuel water separators
5x Oil filters
5x Air filters
This allows the customer to perform routine servicing on-site, avoiding delays caused by international parts sourcing. The generator and tank were delivered to a UK-based export logistics partner for onward shipment to Nigeria.
Project Timeline: Fast Generator Supply for Export
From the moment of enquiry via HubSpot to physical delivery, this project was completed in just one week. This rapid turnaround included product selection, customisation, parts preparation, and delivery—ensuring minimal delay to the construction of the Nigerian hospital.
