No VMac unfortunately. I have on of these in the truck. http://www.airworkscompressors.com/
Cant say I am all that impressed with it. Doesnt put out as much air as a VMAC. It is really loud. Another engine to change oil and filters on. It takes up a big amount of space in the back of the truck, need air to keep from over heating which means you cant stake **** around it. The reason they went with this is to save fuel but the alternator on the compressor is to small to keep up with the crane and work lights. Did I mention it is really loud?!?!?
"get the herman nelson going" "parachute" please explain what you are doing with the parachute?
The Sterlings GVW is like 8800 kg and I am pretty close with no parts in the back. Not good when the road bans are on.
Dont have any thing off of the trucks coolant system to heat up a frozen machine. I have a welder though. In the winter plug in the machines block heater and get the herman nelson going with a parachute. Couple hours at
-45 and a guy can pretty much get anything to start.
I know I'm over the GVW 9026 kg constantly . I got a Miller in back for juice and apprentice welding/grinding school . Got a pair of quick disconnects on the front grill with ball valves and two length of hose , it will have a frozen machine running in less than 20 min . Some of my newer machines have ESPARs in them , so thats easy . I use a parachute to keep the snow off when I'm working in a snow storm , super easy to store and fold up .
I like your coolant quick coupler idea thats slick. I would do that but I work for like 30 different outfits.

all i know is a weed burner and a concrete blanket go a long way at -20f. all of this is so elaborate and well thought out.... leave it to the mechanics i guess.
NB concrete what does you company do log trucks? concrete? construction? general contractor? looks like you have "job security" with the list of equipment there Has it warmed up any there yet?
That's the techs office. Extra cab is nice. Place to keep manuals, all your paperwork and logs, files, etc. I used to drive a service truck with extra cab, found it so much more useful than a cramped single cab. Freedom to move around a bit. :yup
