Miller Launches Web-Based Guide for Outfitting Service Trucks with Welding Generators
oTechnical drawings for mounting/airflow requirements available for download
oProduct comparison chart makes selecting easy and highlights advantages
APPLETON, Wis., November 13, 2005-Miller Electric Mfg. Co. further enhanced its website today with the launch of a Truck Installation page designed to meet the needs of distributors and OEMs looking to outfit utility and service trucks with welding generators. By visiting www.MillerWelds.com/Truck, end users will find information to help choose the best product for their application, as well as detailed instructions for mounting Miller's engine-driven welding generators, such as the Bobcat(TM) and Trailblazer® Series.
To meet the high demand for installation specifications, Miller offers detailed technical drawings available for download on the Truck site. Available in PDF and AutoCAD formats, the technical drawings show exact measurements on easy-to-read schematics. The drawings point out information to be aware of when mounting the welding generators such as the clearance necessary for minimum airflow around the unit. Airflow clearance keeps the generators functioning properly, avoids overheating and prolongs the life of the unit.
Finding the right welding generator for a particular application is a snap on the Truck site where a simple chart is available to help users select the unit that best fits their needs. The chart compares Miller's best selling gas engine drives, the Bobcat 225, Bobcat 250 and the Trailblazer 275 DC and Trailblazer 302. Users can view detailed information for choosing a unit based on application/performance, weld performance, generator performance and additional features. Product information is also available on the new Bobcat and Trailblazer Diesel models.
In terms of reliability, ease of use and safety, the Truck site also highlights the advantages Miller offers when compared to competitive units. Both the Bobcat and Trailblazer Series are designed to perform at 100% duty cycle in 104º F and the clean waveform has made both units industry favorites for welding and auxiliary power generation. Additional options such as a Remote Oil Drain and Filter Kit make servicing easy when the unit is mounted in tight spots. Oil can be changed from the rear or the side of the machine, reducing service time by eliminating the need to remove the unit from the truck. Both the Bobcat and Trailblazer Series meet/exceed OSHA requirements for jobsite safety by offering covered weld terminals, an exclusive feature not found on competitive units.
