Vanair, a Lincoln Electric Company has released its EPEQ Mobile Support Kit.
The Electrified Power Equipment (EPEQ) Mobile Support Kit is a battery-powered, fully selfcontained, “bolt & go” system designed to transform any vehicle into a mobile support vehicle.
“Our EPEQ Mobile Support Kit is the first end-to-end electric solution to offer high-capacity air power, versatile inverter options and EV emergency charging, all powered by our proprietary ELiMENT Battery packs,” said Chip Jones, national manager of Vanair’s Electrified Product Group. “And with its 20 CFM of air power, up to 10kw of pure sine wave inverter capacity and a built-in Level 2 EV charger, this kit represents a complete mobile power solution in a compact package. It’s designed for EV or internal combustion engine vehicles to provide clean, quiet power and with no fumes generated and substantially reduced noise, it works great in enclosed spaces, such as vans and box trucks. This helps fleets reduce greenhouse emissions and fuel costs without sacrificing performance and worker safety.”
Key features of the EPEQ Mobile Support Kit include:
- Vanair ELiMENT batteries:
Two 48V, 100Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries with 5,000-charge cycle life, providing a robust foundation for sustained energy; - High-capacity air compressor:
EPEQ AIR20 compressor delivering 20 CFM at 150 PSI maximum, with dual-speed capability for efficient operation; - Versatile power options:
includes a 3kw 120VAC inverter and two 5kw 240VAC inverters, offering pure sine wave energy for various electronic devices; - Integrated EV charging:
Built-in Level 2 EV charger with 9.6kw max output and a 25-foot charge cable, enabling on-the-go EV support; - Smart display system:
7-inch Smart LED display with monitoring key metrics, including state of charge, voltage levels and temperature.
The EPEQ Mobile Support Kit measures 60 inches long by 24 inches wide by 30 inches high, making it suitable for installation in pickup trucks or vans without compromising valuable space. Despite its modest size, the entire package weighs just 550 pounds, packing substantial power in a transportable format designed to accommodate loading via forklift or small crane. The kit’s plug-and-play design allows for easy installation and operation, with a 120-volt AC shore power charger that enables convenient recharging from standard outlets.
Vanair’s ELiMENT LiFePO4 batteries are safer than lithiumion batteries, due their stable chemistry, and lower risk of thermal runaway. The ELiMENT batteries also feature a solid-state battery management system (BMS), and comprehensive protection against over-current, short-circuit, over-charge, overdischarge and temperature extremes.
The EPEQ Mobile Support Kit has garnered attention from major fleet operators. One leading utility company has successfully implemented the technology in its fleet electrification efforts, using it as an emergency roadside charger (ERC) for the company’s growing number of electric vehicles.
“We’re seeing incredible interest from various industries,” Jones added.
