Details on PTR’s Underground Power Trucks

The  Enclosed Vanair Service Body is a game-changer for underground power projects, boasting significant features that enhance job site efficiency.

One standout feature is the Vanair compressor and generator, known as the “Genair,” which is mounted under the truck. This strategic placement saves critical space in the load area and the truck body, enabling better and safer loading of materials and tools. This design allows additional tools and materials to be transported, reducing the need for multiple trips to the supply house or the shop. Consequently, this increases job site efficiency and productivity by optimizing work throughput and making it easier to load the truck.

Another notable feature of the Vanair Underdeck is its lightweight design, which weighs only a quarter of the weight of a comparable Crossmount compressor.

This significant weight reduction contributes to improved fuel efficiency and lower fuel costs. It reduces chassis wear and tear on the vehicle, prolonging its lifespan. The Genair’s lightweight and efficient design also allows for an increased payload capacity, enabling the transport of more materials and tools per trip. This results in increased crew productivity and greater overall efficiency on the job site, making the 2-ton Enclosed Vanair Service Body an invaluable asset for underground power projects.
