Echo DGK36FS Diesel Generator
Echo DGK36FS 36 kVA industrial diesel generator — 36 kW (1-phase) continuous, 65 dB(A) at 23 ft, Isuzu 4LE2X, 4 cylinder, 28 hr runtime at full load.
The ECHO DGK36FS is a Tier 4 Final mobile diesel generator rated 36 kW continuous single-phase, built around an Isuzu 4LE2X 4-cylinder engine in an enclosure ECHO rates at 65 dB(A) at no load, measured at 23 ft. It is designed for rental fleets and contractors — equipment that gets used hard, moved often, and maintained on a schedule.
Altitude
ECHO does not publish a derate figure for this machine — not on the sell sheet and not on the spec page. That is worth saying plainly rather than filling the gap with someone else's number. What the sheet does give is the engine and how it breathes, and here that works in your favour: this one is direct injection, turbocharged, intercooled. A turbocharged diesel holds its rating at elevation far better than a naturally aspirated one, because the turbo restores intake density that thin air takes away. On the Front Range that difference is worth real money — it is often the reason a turbocharged set one size down does the job that a naturally aspirated set one size up cannot.
We are at 6,035 ft in Colorado Springs and we sell into sites well above that. Tell us the elevation the machine will actually work at and we will get the derate in writing from ECHO before you order, rather than after you find out. A set that is quietly short of its nameplate at 8,000 ft is the most common and most expensive mistake in this business, and it is entirely avoidable.
Options. Trailer, block heater, battery charger, cam locks, fire extinguisher and shore power are factory options ordered with the unit — ask and we will quote the machine as you actually want it configured.

Features and specifications
- Isuzu 4LE2X diesel. Direct injection, turbocharged, intercooled, 133 cu in (2.179 L), 59 hp @ 1800 rpm. US EPA Tier 4 Final.
- Standby rating. 40 kW, above the continuous rating, for backup duty rather than prime power.
- Output. 120 / 240 V single-phase. 150 A at 120 V and at 240 V. Frequency regulation 60 Hz ±0.25%.
- Fuel. 79 gal (300 L) internal with 110% fluid containment. Burn is 2.8 gal/hr at full load, 2.1 at 3/4, 1.5 at 1/2 and 0.9 at 1/4 — about 28 hours at full load on the internal tank, less as you load it harder than a rental set usually runs.
- Cloud monitoring available. Optional remote monitoring and unit control, for fleets that track hours and faults without sending someone to the site.
- Sound. 65 dB(A) at no load and 67 dB(A) at full load at 23 ft, using a tuned muffler, longer exhaust and air dams that double the cooling path rather than insulation alone.
- Size and weight. 83" x 37" x 61", 2,620 lb dry (3,250 lb net). Trailered: 154.25" x 70.60" x 83.58", 3,770 lb.
- Alternator. Revolving field brushless AC. 12 V DC electric starting.
Ultra-quiet design
Echo industrial generators are built for sound-sensitive jobsites: air dams and insulated panels double the cooling air path, heavy-gauge door panels and sound-absorbing foam damp the enclosure, and a tuned muffler with an extended exhaust pipe cuts both high and low frequency noise -- without power-robbing auxiliary fans.
Optional telematics
Cloud-based monitoring and unit control is available, with 4G, 3G, GPRS or Ethernet communication, geofencing and tracking, and service timers.
