When sourcing replacement diesel engines for trucks, excavators, generators or industrial machinery, Cummins is one of the most trusted names in the global aftermarket.

1. B-Series – The Compact Workhorses (4BT / 6BT)

The Cummins B-series is legendary for its mechanical simplicity, bulletproof durability and massive global parts support. These engines have been around for decades and remain top choices for replacement and repower projects.

4BT (Truck & Industrial)

• Displacement: 3.9L inline-4 turbo diesel
• Power: ~105–130 HP (varies by configuration)
• Best for: Compact excavators, skid steers, generators, light trucks, small equipment repower
• Key advantage: Extremely compact footprint, legendary mechanical reliability, huge aftermarket parts support, easy to fit into tight engine bays

The 4BT is a favorite for engine swaps and small equipment rebuilds — it delivers solid diesel torque in a package small enough to fit where most larger engines cannot.

6BT (Excavator & Truck Versions)

• Displacement: 5.9L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~160–210 HP (varies by configuration)
• Best for: Medium-duty trucks, delivery vehicles, buses, excavators, small construction equipment
• Key advantage: Proven mechanical injection system, no complex electronics, outstanding durability, one of the most widely supported diesel engines in the world

We stock both the excavator version and the newer truck version of the 6BT, so you can match the exact mounting and accessory configuration for your application.

2. C-Series – Medium-Heavy Duty (6CT)

When you need more displacement and torque than the B-series can offer, the Cummins C-series steps in.

6CT (Excavator & Import Versions)

• Displacement: 8.3L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~210–300 HP (varies by configuration)
• Best for: Heavy-duty trucks, buses, excavators, construction machinery, marine applications, generators
• Key advantage: Larger displacement for heavier loads, strong low-RPM torque, mechanically simple in most configurations, excellent for medium-heavy duty work

We carry both the excavator-spec 6CT and the imported truck version, covering a wide range of mounting and power output requirements.

3. N-Series – Heavy Industrial Power (NTA855)

For the heaviest construction and industrial applications, the Cummins N-series delivers serious displacement.

NTA855 (Brand New)

• Displacement: 14L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~300–450 HP (varies by configuration)
• Best for: Heavy construction machinery, mining equipment, large generators, marine propulsion, heavy industrial applications
• Key advantage: Massive torque for extreme loads, proven Big Cam design for reliability, built for continuous heavy-duty operation, widely used in global mining and construction fleets

The NTA855 is the go-to choice when an application demands maximum displacement and durability — designed to run under constant heavy load in the toughest environments.

4. K-Series – Ultra-Heavy Duty (KTA19-G4)

The K-series represents the top end of Cummins' displacement range, built for the most demanding industrial and power-generation applications.

KTA19-G4 (Generator Version)

• Displacement: 19L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~500–600 HP (generator-rated)
• Best for: Large standby and prime power generators, mining equipment, marine propulsion, heavy industrial power
• Key advantage: Massive 19L displacement, designed for continuous power generation, robust construction for long runtime, widely used in global generator sets

The KTA19-G4 is specifically calibrated for generator applications, delivering stable power output under varying electrical loads.

5. M-Series – Versatile Heavy Duty (ISM / M11 & QSM11)

The M-series bridges the gap between the N-series and the lighter C-series, offering a versatile 11L platform for both on-highway and industrial use.

ISM / M11 (On-Highway)

• Displacement: 11L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~280–400 HP (varies by configuration)
• Best for: Heavy-duty trucks, buses, coaches, highway tractors
• Key advantage: Excellent fuel economy for long-haul applications, electronically controlled for precise performance, proven durability in highway service

QSM11 (Industrial)

• Displacement: 11L inline-6 turbo diesel
• Power: ~300–450 HP (industrial-rated)
• Best for: Heavy excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, large generators, mining equipment, marine applications
• Key advantage: Industrial-tuned for low-RPM high-torque operation, built for continuous heavy-duty cycles, widely used in construction and mining machinery

The QSM11 is the industrial/non-road version of the M11 platform, specifically calibrated for the demanding duty cycles of construction and mining equipment.

6. ISF-Series – Modern Light Commercial (ISF3.8)

The Foton Cummins ISF series is the modern, compact platform designed specifically for light commercial vehicles.

ISF3.8

• Displacement: 3.76L inline-4 turbo intercooled
• Power: 141–168 HP (varies by emission standard)
• Peak Torque: 450–600 N·m
• Best for: Light trucks, delivery vans, logistics vehicles, small construction machinery
• Key advantage: Compact size, excellent fuel economy, high-pressure common rail fuel system, meets Euro 3/4/5 emission standards, widely used in global light commercial fleets

The ISF3.8 is one of the most popular modern light-truck diesel engines, offering a perfect balance of power, fuel efficiency and emission compliance.
