What Foley Power Solutions does

Foley Power Solutions is a division of Foley Equipment Company, a privately held Caterpillar dealer headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, with 85+ years of operating history. The division sells, rents, and services Caterpillar power generation and distribution equipment — including diesel and gas generator sets, switchgear and paralleling controls, automatic transfer switches, microgrids, and industrial engines — and serves customers across eight verticals: critical facilities and infrastructure, data centers, healthcare, agriculture, entertainment and events, education, commercial, oil and gas, and utilities. Notable installations include a paralleling switchgear deployment for a TierPoint data center in Lenexa, Kansas and a switchgear upgrade for Kansas City International Airport (KCI).

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model comprising field sales representatives covering the central United States, inside sales, a parts counter, online parts ordering through foleyparts.com and Cat Central, and an equipment rental division. Service capabilities include shop and field service, advanced electrical systems installation, project services, and a dedicated Oil & Gas Engine Rebuild Center that has refurbished 2,700 engines. Supporting tools include VisionLink for remote monitoring, Cat S·O·S Fluid Analysis for predictive maintenance, Cat Inspect, and the Service Information System (SIS 2.0). The business has completed 1,600 turnkey projects and supports more than 850 factory-trained service and parts technicians.

Foley Power Solutions generates revenue across seven streams: new equipment sales, used equipment sales (including a Generator Match Service), rental of portable generators and temperature control equipment, service and repair, parts and components, recurring Customer Value Agreements (maintenance contracts), and financing through Cat Power Financing, Cat Commercial, and Cat Rewards. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer Value Agreements and VisionLink subscriptions create recurring revenue layers on top of transactional equipment sales, while the rental fleet provides a usage-based stream tied to events and temporary power needs.
