Perkins Engines – other nonroad diesel engines: the collective page of the 1100 to 2500 ranges outside the named models, from Peterborough, 4 to 678 kW, dual Caterpillar designation C4.4 to C15
Perkins, headquartered in Peterborough, England, founded in 1932 and wholly part of Caterpillar since 1998, is one of the largest independent diesel-engine makers for construction, agricultural and industrial machinery. This page gathers the engines the register could not assign to a named range, from the 1100 series (1104, 1106) through the 1200 series (1204, 1206) to the 2200 and 2500 ranges; the parallel Caterpillar designations in brackets – C4.4, C6.6, C7.1 – give the displacement in litres and show that Perkins engines have been marketed under both brand names since the Caterpillar takeover.

The register lists here 352 versions with 4 to 678 kW rated output at 1,500 to 2,800 rpm, from two- to six-cylinders with 67 to 145 mm bore and 72 to 183 mm stroke, torques from 19.1 to 5,500 Nm. The Tier 3 emission stage dominates with 214 versions ahead of Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in) with 72 and Interim Tier 4 with 66; the 75 to 130 kW power category is the most common with 128 versions.
Perkins engines drive construction machinery, telehandlers, compressors, generator sets and mid-size farm machinery; as a Caterpillar subsidiary the brand supplies both the group's own construction machinery and numerous outside manufacturers without their own engine production in this power segment.
On a used purchase, operating hours count, the condition of the turbocharger (predominantly waste-gate design), the injection pump or, on newer model years, the common-rail injectors, the cooling system and charge-air cooler, and on Tier 4 engines the exhaust aftertreatment; since Perkins parts run through both the Perkins and the Caterpillar network, it is worth checking both part numbers.
