Vanair, a manufacturer of mobile power systems, has come out with its PTO Shaft-Driven Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System.
Vanair’s system is designed to integrate beneath the vehicle chassis, opening cargo space while enhancing overall efficiency.
Ralph Kokot, Vanair’s CEO, said, “Our Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System streamlines six independent machines into a single unit with one footprint. It delivers the same comprehensive power including welding capabilities, without encroaching on any vehicle bed space.”
The six forms of power include:
- 125-185 CFM rotary screw air compressor;
- 10kW generator;
- 330A welder;
- 12V, 24V and optional 36V and 48V battery boosting capabilities;
- 12V-24V and optional 36V and 48V battery charging capacity; and
- up to 30 GPM @ 2000 PSI of hydraulicdriven power.
Vanair says that with its underdeck system, users can replace six separate pieces of equipment, providing additional bed space, enhanced maneuverability, reduced maintenance requirement, free vehicle hitches and weight savings of more than 2,000 pounds. The new design also uses Vanair’s new Sansgear belt drive for the hydraulic system, which it says is quieter and provides more torque than traditional gear-box designs.
Vanair patents, both granted and pending, have led to designs that elevate the new system’s performance. One such feature is its XERO Rapid Blow Down Tank design, which allows for immediate compressor disengagement and re-engagement with zero blow-down time. The design eliminates the need to wait for the system blow down completely, preventing oil carryover issues and increases operational efficiency.
Vainair also equips its PTO Shaft-Driven Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power Systems with its FailSafe Dual Sensory Redundancy System as a standard feature. This system guarantees an uninterrupted power supply by switching got the backup unit the even a thermistor or transducer sensor failure.
Headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana, Vanair produces an extensive product line of vehicle-mounted air compressors, generators, welders, hydraulics, electrified power equipment, chargers/boosters, engine starters and custom products.
