Warn Air Compressor

[cshontz]

Warn was displaying their new line of 12V air compressors at a trade show I attended this past weekend. They look like really nice kits. I've always sorely lacked an air compressor. I loath popping quarters or being the, "Dude, can I bum some air?" guy. What do you guys think?

Do say...I must take a closer look.

Holy mackeral...have you checked the price on those....$600...you could put together a nice OBA system for that.

Does anyone know how much current they draw? Product literature is failing me...

Thanks for the links! I meant to include more info in my original post, but I forgot.

Both models are pictured at the top, but its hard to tell because the VTC is shown from the side.

I see that now...

I wonder what they weigh, too.

Maximus, is that MSRP, or a vendor price?

 

[Maximus Ram]

That was the price I found when I did a search for it. Not sure about the MSRP.

I have the VTC, it's awesome. I'm in the process of mounting it under my rig, and I'll be plumbing it like an OBA system to the front & rear. I just used it yesterday to air up my 38's, ran it hard as I filled all 4 nonstop.

I've also used it to run a 1/2" impact, and it works great, even though it only runs @ 100psi.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and the picture. I think the SPI is going onto my wish list.

Hello

you can give me the specifications of the VTC

that has weight?
that has long?
which has wide?
that have height?

thanks

I already mounted it, so I don't have the exact measurements. Try the Warn website, they should have the specs there.

 

[adventureduo]

Where'd you mount it? I need to mount my compressor and im looking for ideas?

 

[ujoint]

I'm sure you already have something living in this area, but I'll show you what I did. I'll have more photos next week once e-thing is done & installed.

The compressor mounts to this skidplate along with the H2O tank....

And the whole unit goes here..........

Wow, the VTC has terrific specs! Nearly 600 litres per minute free flow, falling to over 226 L/min @ 620kPa! That's as good or better as most OBA engine-driven compressors. It's a pity it maxes out at 700kPa (100p.s.i), although that is enough for almost everything.

(I presume that air-flow specifications are always a measure of air volume at atmospheric pressure? i.e. 226 litres/minute @ 620kPa is 226 litres at atmospheric pressure, or about 36 litres @ the full 620kPa).

Oddly enough Warn don't say what the duty cycle is for any of their compressors. Nor do they say what the current draw is at various pressures.

But they do have a fantastic service manual! http://www.warn.com/truck/images/1114/986784A0.pdf

If only all products came with such professional and useful documentation. A+ for Warn.
