Original Press Release:
Finally a Custom Engineered Air Compressor for New European Style Vans
Latest UNDERHOOD air compressor broadens product range.
Nanaimo, BC. - With the rapid growth of the commercial van market in North America, accessory manufacturers have been quickly adjusting to the increasing demand. Recognizing that a reliable and safe air compressor was not available for these applications, VMAC (Vehicle Mounted Air Compressors) developed an entirely new rotary screw air compressor and components ideally suited for the European style vans.
"The van market is vastly different than the traditional service truck one." says Dan Hutchinson, VMAC Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Customers are looking for easy to install accessories that allow them to do many of the same jobs of larger, more custom built service trucks, while taking advantage of the vans' capabilities
The new UNDERHOOD LITE air compressor system provides the same reliable, compact power the UNDERHOOD70 is known for. Weighing in at 62 lbs, the system minimally impacts the vans' payload and has a very small footprint in the van itself. Providing 30 CFM and up to 150 psi of air, the LITE easily handles most air powered needs the service van market requires.
All of VMAC's UNDERHOOD Air Compressor solutions are custom engineered for each engine/chassis combination. VMAC is launching the UNDERHOOD LITE with installation kits for the 3.6L Ram® ProMaster®, the 3.7L Ford® Transit® and the 3.0L Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter®. For photos, video or information about this system, visit www.vmacair.com/uhl or call 1-866-271-2956.
