McConnel’s group additionally makes use of air instruments like affect weapons to put in totally different blades on the street graders within the fleet.

“We had an air compressor on our vans, however utilizing it was a sluggish course of,” mentioned McConnel. “The air compressor didn’t hold air strain, and the operators needed to anticipate the compressor to catch up so they may end a job.”

When it was time to buy a brand new lube skid, McConnel knew it was a chance to decide on a greater air compressor for his utility. He went to see Phil Carrott, proprietor of Grand Truck Gear in Afton, Oklahoma.

“Phil had the lube skid we preferred, and we labored collectively to construct a brand new truck,” explains McConnel. “Grand Truck Gear has full-service choices; Phil urged VMAC’s Stacked G30 due to its vertical configuration and likewise as a result of it was highly effective sufficient for our utility.”

The vertical configuration of VMAC’s Stacked G30 gasoline drive rotary screw air compressor was excellent for this particular truck construct. The truck did not have area for a cumbersome air compressor, however the Stacked G30’s vertical design signifies that it has a footprint of solely 2.5 sq. ft, making it the right match.

Phil additionally addressed McConnel’s group’s problem with unreliable air strain. The Stacked G30 is a rotary screw air compressor able to offering as much as 30 CFM of steady air at 100 psi (150 psi max).

“I had labored with rotary screw air compressors earlier than,” mentioned McConnel. “I do know what they’re able to and was assured that including the VMAC Stacked G30 would resolve our downside of ready round for air strain to construct, permitting us to work sooner.”

McConnel’s new truck has been delivered from Grand Truck Gear, and it is a hit with the Madison County Roads Division.

“The Stacked G30 offers us with air on demand,” mentioned McConnel. “Now we do not have to attend round for air anymore. The G30 retains fixed strain. It has sped up the method at work and decreased frustration.”

Now that the Madison County Roads Division has skilled working with the VMAC Stacked G30, McConnel mentioned they could not be happier with the answer that Phil at Grand Truck Gear introduced to them.

“The VMAC Stacked G30 works completely,” mentioned McConnel. “We can’t purchase every other air compressor sooner or later.”
