LIGHT, SMALL & POWERFUL - THE PREDATAIR60
The PREDATAIR60 hydraulic air compressor was
launched one year ago and
sales have been rising. Thank you to all of our
customers who supported our launch of this
revolutionary new product line. We have now taken
the feedback received from customers and added
new features to the product line. Some of these
features are highlighted below:
- Hydraulic Oil Temperature Sensing - both in the
cooler discharge and in the hydraulic manifold.
- Unload/Load-up Solenoid - greatly reduces the
load on the hydraulic system by limiting the
compressor air pressure to approximately 70 psi
during startup or periods of no air use.
- Check Valve and Pressure Sensor at Compressor
Air Discharge - check valve for an air reservoir is now
built in.
- Flash Codes - There are more flash codes
using the two LED lights on the top of the PREDATAIR
to indicate the status of the system. Some of the
things that are indicated are Temperature Probe
Failure, Cold Start Mode, High Pressure Start,
Compressor Over-Temp, and Hydraulic Over-Temp.
New PREDATAIR60 Accessories are now
available:
- PREDATAIR60 Hour Meter (Part # A700147)
- PREDATAIR60 Cold Climate Kit (Part # A700146)

New Vision and Mission Statement
VMAC has spent countless hours interviewing every
co-worker at VMAC to help pave a road for the future
direction of the company. Part of this process was
to gain input to help articulate Tony Menard's Vision
in a short all encompassing statement. Another part
of this process was to help create our Mission
statement. The resulting statement encompasses
the thoughts and feelings of all VMAC co-workers on
how we intend to accomplish our Vision. These
important messages will help guide VMAC during
strategic planning sessions and day-to-day decisions
in the future. We are hoping that you, our customer,
will help hold us to the path we have set.
VISION
The trusted first name in mobile air solutions.
MISSION

durable vehicle mounted air compressor systems in an
environment of quality and integrity. Delivering
