An Innovative Idea in Mobile Power Solutions
Vanair began with an idea to do it better. In 1972, Vanair Manufacturing began as Sullair PTO, a division of Sullair Corporation. It was there that a new product and industry were born – the vehicle-mounted 185 CFM underdeck rotary screw air compressor. Its revolutionary design integrated the components of a tow behind rotary screw compressor onto a truck vehicle’s frame and utilized the truck’s engine to drive the compressor via the power takeoff (PTO). This innovative mobile power system eliminated the need for a separate engine driven, tow behind compressor. The advantages quickly impacted the mobile power industry by freeing up the vehicle’s hitch, saving weight, increasing valuable bed space, reducing maintenance and insurance costs, and increasing mobility. That engineering-focus and innovative spirit continues today and has led to multiple Vanair exclusive Mobile Power Solutions:
