Benefits
More Power For Tougher Jobs
The VMAC Multifunction Power System provides 40 CFM @ 100 psi of compressed air, 8 kW of electric power, up to 250 A of welding capability, 12V and 24V charging, and 300 A boosting. This gas powered air compressor, generator, welder, booster and charger combo gives you all the power you need to tackle tough jobs in any location.
A Quiet Multipurpose Machine
VMAC’s 5-in-1 multi-power system is seriously quiet compared to similar systems, emitting only 73 dB at high idle, 63 dB at compressor idle and 59 dB at low idle. With noise reduction panels, multi-speed idle controls, and Standby Mode, jobsite noise is reduced considerably or removed entirely. Operators will appreciate easier communication, and neighbors will appreciate less disturbance.
Easy, Simultaneous Operation
Use just one function, or all functions simultaneously*, with the ability to seamlessly switch between operations with easy-to-use controls, eliminating the need to maneuver multiple machines on the jobsite. This powerful machine is designed for today’s mobile mechanic—just turn it on and get to work.
*Simultaneous operation may reduce the performance of individual components.
Compact & Lightweight
VMAC’s 5-in-1 Multifunction is up to 13 cubic feet smaller and 150 lb lighter than comparable multi-power systems. When you choose VMAC for your multi-power needs, you free up valuable cargo space on the truck and reduce your GVW, allowing you to carry more tools, equipment, and materials.
Reduce Truck Maintenance & Fuel Costs
The VMAC Multifunction Power System reduces truck maintenance and improves fuel economy by allowing operators to turn their truck engines off while on the jobsite. Also, by reducing vehicle weight, automatically idling the Honda engine up/down with air demand, and turning the Honda engine off/on with air demand, the VMAC Multifunction Power System allows operators to carry more tools or equipment and improve fuel economy.
