Hello!

Here's our 2nd Quarter Newsletter that includes a bunch of information for you to read, so hopefully you find it interesting.

FEATURED PRODUCT
 
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)
