It's Three in One - Welder, Generator and Air CompressorWhen you need it all, consider the rugged Air Vantage® 500 for railroad, mining, heavy-duty construction, and rental fleet use. A direct gear-driven compressor, with no belts or clutches to wear out, pumps out plenty of air for arc gouging up to 3/8" carbons, plasma cutting or almost any air tool. A powerful 500 amps at 100% duty cycle is enough for almost any stick, TIG, MIG or flux-cored welding project. And, the precision arc starting provided by Lincoln Chopper Technology® and Touch-Start® DC TIG will make any operator a better welder. Don't pay extra for plenty of AC generator power - up to 20,000 watts of 3-phase and 12,000 watts of 1-phase is standard. Stainless steel roof and side panels provide added durability and corrosion-resistance. The new Kubota® V3600-T water-cooled diesel engine will keep you running - and working - for a long time.

Rotary Screw Compressor. VMAC® brand rotary screw direct-drive air compressor rated at 60 CFM, 100 PSI, 100% duty cycle, delivers abundant air for arc gouging with up to 3/8" carbons, plasma cutting and air tools such as an impact gun.

Multi-Process Welding, Separate Arc Gouge Mode. Select one of five Process Modes, including CC-Stick, Downhill Pipe (for stick), Touch-Start® DC TIG, CV-Wire or new Arc Gouging mode which maximizes output with up to 3/8" carbon rods.

VRD™ Voltage Reduction Device™. Reduced OCV in the CC-Stick weld mode for added safety.

Plenty of AC Generator Power. 20 kW continuous 3-phase 240V AC generator power will operate industrial equipment such as plasma cutters, pumps, inverter welders and grinders. 12 kW continuous 1-phase AC generator power for common construction tools and lights.

Sealed GFCI Modules. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) are sealed from moisture for more reliable operation.

Stainless Steel Enclosure. Standard stainless steel roof, side panels and engine-access door deliver added protection, durability and corrosion-resistance. Eliminates need to replace these items due to paint damage or rust.

Sliding Engine-Access Door. Lockable engine-access door slides open for easy access in tight spaces.

Reliable Engine. 4 cylinder 1800 RPM Kubota® turbo-charged diesel engine runs smooth and quiet.
