Anybody have or seen any of these under hood air compressors, or anyhing similar, or know how much they cost?

I'm looking for a rig that can operate a Rhino PD-110 Post Driver, which uses 64 CFM at 100 PSI.

Thanks for any information. I've looked all over the internet, but couldn't find any pictures of them mounted or anything regarding their price. I'd think that the applications would be endless.

 

That looks like a lot of output needed. Why not just use a larger compressor and drive it with a power takeoff. Would be simple to set up. Probably be a lot cheaper than an underhood deal.

 

I agree with haulin -- lots of air demand there. I have seen some contractors here with the big compressors in the bed behind the cab. I know at least one evan had a diesel engine to run the compressor, which sat on top of a very large horizontal air tank. All in all, I think this might be more cost effective and practical. Just my own $0.02.

 

But I don't know how much these compressors cost. Judging by their outputs, they seem the way to go. Think about it, it's basically a very stout supercharger driven with a 325 horsepower engine, so I can imagine that it would be more cost effective than an entirely seperate engine. It's also a full duty cycle, so you don't need a very big tank. I want to know if their claims are true, and how much the things cost.

On the large compressor PTO idea, any links where I can get a compressor that big without the attached engine?

 

the V series run about 5k

 

Any of the big machine or hardware outlets, Granger is one.

 

I got one on my work truck.

I have a V-Max, I have had not so great luck with it.

I have had lots of electrical problems with it.

 

After the electrical, did it supply the air they claim. That is ALOT of air.

 

Try this link. They sell the adapters to put a York AC compressor on your engine. i just don't know if they have one for the Cummins.

They do sell one for the Cummins.

 

this one should work for you. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...627221&ccitem= now you just have to figure out to run with a pto. our pto's are rated for 25hp.

one of these will work for sure. http://www.bossair.com/ the 80100 is $5500 but that baby will pump some air!!!!!

Whats the deal? It's Only for 24v's. Why wouldn't it work on a 12v?

 

Well, part of the kit is a bracket that mounts the York over the alternator, so that probably wouldn't fit. Might be a pulley issue, too. For quite a while, they only sold one for 24v's with the Bosch alternator; if you had a Nippondenso alternator you were out of luck. The owner seems like a pretty nice guy, I don't know him personally or anything, but he's on a Ram mailing list I subscribe to. You might shoot him an e-mail from their website and ask about the 12v's.
