Truck-Mounted PTO Air, AC Power, and Hydraulic Systems

Vanair® PTO underdeck air compressor systems are truck-mounted rotary screw compressor systems powered by the vehicle’s power take-off system. They mount under the vehicle frame to free up the truck bed and towing hitch while delivering up to 1000 CFM of air power, AC power, hydraulics, or a combination of all three.

Compared with tow-behind compressors, Vanair® underdeck systems help reduce equipment cost, improve maneuverability, and eliminate the need to maintain a separate engine. They are used for utility, construction, and field service or service truck applications including post pounding, pipe fusion, sewer relining, gas line charging, air excavation, and other pneumatic tool operations.
