DTM70 Direct-Transmission Mounted Air Compressor

Description

The VMAC DTM70 air compressor is a direct-transmission mounted PTO driven air compressor that provides up to 70 CFM.

The DTM70 system is the best choice for fleet managers and owners who are concerned with saving space and reducing weight on their service trucks. This powerful rotary screw air compressor is ideal for operating small to medium sized air tools with high air demand, including 1” impact wrenches, 60 lb jackhammers, backfill tampers, vertical/horizontal grinders, and sanders.

The system is designed for the Ford F-250 to F-600 Super Duty 6.7 L Power Stroke diesel 4×2 and 4×4 work truck with TorqShift™ Automatic Transmission and the RAM 3500 to 5500 chassis cab 6.7 L Cummins diesel 4×2 and 4×4 work truck with AISIN Automatic Transmission and PTO prep package (option code LBN).

Benefits

Up To 70 CFM. 100% Of The Time.

DTM70 air compressors use patented rotary screw technology designed to run at 100% duty cycle without stopping, so operators don’t have to wait for their air compressor to fill an air receiver tank. This maximizes tool performance and eliminates downtime.

Decrease Truck GVW By Up To 260 lb

DTM70 air compressors reduce truck weight by as much as 260 lb because there is no secondary engine to carry around on your truck. At only 150 lb, the DTM70 also weighs a fraction compared to other underdeck air compressors. Choose a lightweight air compressor, and you’ll be able to add more tools and equipment to your truck, carry more materials, and take advantage of better fuel economy.

Easy Operation

VMAC’s DTM air compressors feature easy-to-use controls. Simply press the on/off button on the digital control box, and the system will take care of the rest; the PTO engages, the compressor turns on, and the throttle control automatically idles the truck engine up and down to match air demand. For cold climate operation, a heater is built into the compressor, which automatically warms up on the way to the job, so it is ready to work when you are.

Easy Installation

DTM70 air compressors are easy to install, with installation times up to 50% faster than other underdeck air compressor systems. The DTM70 doesn’t require modifications to the RAM or Ford transfer case, nor drive shafts that can cause alignment issues. Traditional underdeck air compressors for RAM and Ford Super Duty trucks are extremely heavy, have poor ground clearance, and require additional components sourcing. VMAC mounting kits are application engineered for RAM and Ford diesel trucks and include all the necessary components.

Free Up To 25 Cubic Feet

VMAC DTM70 air compressors free up to 25 cubic feet on the truck deck because the air compressor mounts to the transmission, and the rest of the system mounts under the truck. In fact, no components get installed on the Ford truck deck, ensuring a clean and professional-looking truck and space for other equipment, tools, or materials.

Avoid Frustrating Breakdowns And Maintenance Issues

DTM70 air compressors are powered by a PTO mounted on the truck’s transmission. Because DTMs don’t have their own engine to maintain, less time and money are spent fixing engine issues, and more time is spent making money on jobs.

Work In Any Climate

DTM70 air compressors are proven to work in any extreme climate. With an integrated automatic heater, the compressor is ready to work when and where you are.
