Benefits

Less space – UNDERHOOD™ air compressors free up to 80 cubic feet on the truck deck or cargo area because the air compressor mounts in the engine compartment.
Less weight – UNDERHOOD™ air compressors reduce truck GVW by as much as 1,900 lbs. Choosing a lightweight air compressor means you’ll be able to add more tools and equipment to your truck, carry more materials, take advantage of better fuel economy, or even downsize your truck classification.
Less maintenance – UNDERHOOD™ air compressors require less maintenance because stand-alone engine driven air compressors have their own engines that require servicing and repairs.
More productivity – UNDERHOOD™ air compressors use patented rotary screw technology designed to run at 100% duty cycle without stopping or overheating, so operators don’t have to wait for their air compressor.
Any Environment – UNDERHOOD™ air compressors are proven to work in any extreme climate, chosen as the air compressor system of choice in arctic and desert environments.

"We chose the UNDERHOOD™ air compressor because we wanted to save space in our van’s work area, and we needed a compact air compressor that could provide enough air flow for our jobs."

Dennis Miskow, Cullen Diesel Power Ltd., (British Columbia)

"I was impressed with not only the performance of the compressor but the best part was how things were engineered to fit properly in the engine compartment as if it was built from the factory."

Buzz Kirby, City of Livonia, (Livonia, Michigan, USA)

"We have saved almost 260 lbs when installing the VMAC H40 hydraulic driven air compressor instead of the competitor’s comparable air compressor, allowing techs to carry more tools and supplies needed to get their jobs done."
