Truck-Mounted Tool Power System Eliminates PTO


Miller Electric says its EnPak\Mechanic Series is the industry’s only truck-integrated, diesel engine-driven air compressor, generator and hydraulic pump combination. EnPak’s 27-hp Kubota diesel engine—which shares the truck engine’s fuel supply—eliminates the need for a PTO and enables mechanics to run all of their tools with the truck engine turned off, cutting fuel costs up to 30%, reducing truck engine hours up to 60% and truck noise by as much as 10 dB, and substantially reducing exhaust fumes in the work area. The system’s variable speed rotary screw air compressor is rated at 40 cfm at 100 psi with a 175-psi maximum that allows mechanics to use air tools without having to wait for pressure to build. Its Eaton variable displacement piston hydraulic pump provides smooth, fast and accurate crane operation, and 6,000 watts of generator power at 100% duty cycle plus an additional 2,400 watts of power at idle are available to run electrical devices including welders, lights or even laptops used for equipment diagnostics. The system features real time load monitoring that automatically matches engine speed to the load requirement put on the machine. This offers additional fuel savings as rpms only ramp up to levels needed to perform the task and then fall back down to idle when finished.
