The Boss air and power truck mounted underdeck systems are the most advanced and user friendly in the market today, according to the manufacturer.
Based on the company's revolutionary rotary screw air compressor, the BOSSAIR 185G exploits all the latest engineering advances in rotary screw development.
Leading off with the BOSS BCAN digital interface, which takes advantage of the vehicles J1939 electronic connection to communicate effortlessly between the vehicle and air compressor and power systems. The BOSS BCAN also can add other functionality to vehicles, such as hydraulics, cranes and other power related components.
Additionally, latest version of the BOSS Air end is the axial discharge instead of a traditional radial discharge, creating 3-4 in. of ground clearance for the most challenging job sites. Adding the new low profile 10 in. separator tank (185CFM and under systems) increases the ground clearance even more.
The compressor/generator design has been integrated into a one-piece application producing up to 10kW of A/C power. No need for a separate gearbox and additional maintenance concerns, as the compressor and generator mount together in the same casting. To help facilitate a more efficient install process, the Air/oil manifold are now separated into two smaller manifolds for easier installation and more versatile location opportunities. The air manifold can be mounted anywhere the installer wants and has three different configurations, maximizing every inch of the bracket design.
The oil manifold also has multiple different mounting configurations, but Boss has designed the compressor mounting foot to allow for installation and optimal oil flow and hose routing. The new bracket system for mounting the compressor, and the air oil manifolds allows for the flexibility of "no-drilling mounting" on most applications.
And finally, with the company's "Spin-On" filter design, the service time is now down to minutes instead of hours when compared to the competitions, according to the manufacturer.
