Vanair, a global leader in mobile power solutions, introduced its PTO shaft-driven Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System during NTEA’s Work Truck Week 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Vanair said that the revolutionary new system redefines power accessibility for professionals, offering an impressive six forms of power. The system helps position it as an indispensable and versatile solution for a wide variety of work trucks and related applications.
The Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System has been designed to seamlessly integrate beneath the vehicle chassis, opening cargo space while enhancing overall efficiency.
Ralph Kokot, Chief Executive Officer of Vanair, highlighted the significance: "Our Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System streamlines six independent machines into a single unit with one footprint. With the new Underdeck ALL-IN-ONE Power System, we deliver the same comprehensive power, including welding capabilities, without encroaching on any vehicle bed space."
Six forms of power include:
- A 125-185 CFM rotary screw air compressor;
- A powerful 10 kW generator;
- A 330A welder;
- 12V, 24V, and optional 36V and 48V battery boosting capabilities;
- 12V-24V and optional 36V and 48V battery charging capacity;
- Up to 30 GPM @ 2000 PSI of hydraulic-driven power
With Vanair’s streamlined underdeck system, users can replace six separate pieces of equipment, providing additional bed space, enhanced maneuverability, reduced maintenance requirements, free vehicle hitches, and weight savings of more than 2,000 lbs.
The new design also uses Vanair’s new Sansgear belt drive for the hydraulic system, which is more quiet while providing more torque than traditional gearbox designs.
With its PTO shaft-driven Underdeck Power System, jobsite personnel will be equipped with the tools needed for welding, powering essential equipment, and jump-starting other vehicles. The versatility of Vanair’s ALL-IN-ONE system ensures that every on-site team is fully prepared to tackle any task that comes their way.
"Vanair continues to be at the forefront of innovation with our PTO shaft-driven Underdeck Power System. We understand the critical need for reliability and efficiency in equipment for on-the-job performance," said John Dunn, Strategic Manager of Underdeck and Utility at Vanair. "This system not only offers unmatched power and functionality but also ensures minimal downtime, which is crucial for professionals who rely on dependable equipment to get the job done."
The company’s exclusive, patented, and patent-pending designs have led to groundbreaking innovations that elevate the performance of its PTO Underdeck Mobile Systems. One such feature is the XERO Rapid Blow Down Tank design, which allows for immediate compressor disengagement and reengagement with zero blow-down time. This unique and novel tank design eliminates the need to wait for the system to blow down completely, preventing oil carryover issues and significantly increasing operational efficiency. Moreover, the XERO Tank permits up to a 15 percent angle of operation from side-to-side or front-to-back, offering exceptional versatility and adaptability on the job site.
To ensure maximum reliability and security, Vanair equips all its PTO shaft-driven Underdeck Power Systems with the FailSafe Dual Sensory Redundancy System as a standard feature. This system guarantees an uninterrupted power supply by seamlessly switching to the backup unit in the event of a thermistor or transducer sensor failure. Furthermore, professionals can opt for the optional ThermalGuard Weather Protection Kit, a patented design that preheats the compressor oil and regulators using the vehicle's warm engine coolant. This feature prevents oil starvation and freeze-ups during frigid conditions, further enhancing the overall system's performance and reliability.
"We take great pride in offering unmatched cost savings and performance with our UltraLife Air/Oil Separator Element. This innovative element sets new industry standards with its extended lifespan of 6,000 hours, delivering up to six times more separator life compared to other units on the market," added Dunn.
