VMAC UNDERHOOD 70 Air Compressors (Scroll for Description)

Up to 70 CFM 100% of the Time

UNDERHOOD 70 air compressors use patented rotary screw technology designed to maintain 100% of the required tool CFM, so operators don’t have to wait for their air compressor to fill an air receiver tank. This maximizes air tool performance and eliminates downtime. Unlike traditional reciprocating compressors that require bulky tanks and frequent cooling periods to prevent overheating, the UNDERHOOD 70 provides a continuous, uninterrupted air supply. This 100% duty cycle means your mobile mechanics and service technicians can run high-demand pneumatic tools—such as 1-inch impact wrenches, grinders, and heavy-duty jacks—without ever losing pressure. By outfitting your fleet with a high-performance continuous CFM air compressor, you dramatically increase on-site productivity and reduce total job completion times.

Decrease Truck GVW by up to 260 Lbs

UNDERHOOD 70 air compressors reduce truck GVW by as much as 260 Lbs. Choosing a lightweight air compressor means you’ll be able to add more tools and equipment to your truck, carry more materials, or take advantage of better fuel economy. Weight management is a critical factor for modern commercial fleets looking to maximize efficiency. By eliminating the heavy footprint of a traditional crossdeck or stand-alone gas-powered air compressor, the UNDERHOOD 70 system helps prevent you from maxing out your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Lighter service trucks experience noticeably reduced wear and tear on suspension, transmission, and braking systems, leading to lower maintenance costs over the life of the vehicle. This vital weight savings allows you to carry heavier payloads of profitable cargo rather than dead weight.

Free up to 25 Cubic Feet on Your Truck Body

UNDERHOOD 70 air compressors free up to 25 cubic feet on the truck deck because the air compressor mounts in the engine compartment. No components get installed on the truck deck, which ensures a clean and professional-looking truck and space for other equipment, tools, or materials. Space on a utility truck is premium real estate. By utilizing a truck-mounted air compressor hidden securely beneath the hood, you reclaim valuable bed space that can be easily repurposed for extra toolboxes, custom racking, or specialized utility bodies. Furthermore, because the compressor system is sheltered securely within the engine bay, it is fully protected from harsh weather elements, road salt, freezing temperatures, and job site debris. This strategic, integrated placement not only deters theft but also significantly extends the lifespan of the compressor’s internal components.

Ideal Applications for the UNDERHOOD 70 System

The VMAC UNDERHOOD 70 is widely recognized as the industry standard for mobile heavy-duty applications. It is the ultimate pneumatic power solution for a variety of demanding commercial uses:

• Mobile Mechanics and Heavy Equipment Repair: Delivers the necessary immediate power to break loose stubborn bolts on heavy construction or agricultural machinery.

• Commercial Tire Service Providers: Ensures rapid inflation and powers heavy-duty impact guns for efficient roadside and highway assistance.

• Construction and Fleet Maintenance: Provides reliable air on demand in remote, off-grid job sites without the hassle of towing a separate compressor trailer.

• Public Works and Municipal Fleets: Offers a versatile, always-ready air source for utility workers tackling varied daily tasks and infrastructure repairs.

By integrating directly with the truck’s engine, this engine-driven air compressor operates seamlessly without requiring a separate fuel source or engine maintenance. It is an efficient alternative to standalone units, simplifying your equipment management and keeping your mobile workspace organized.
