UNDERHOOD^® 40 Air Compressors – Van Series

The UNDERHOOD^® 40 rotary screw air compressor system is the only solution for commercial vans and operators who use small air tools for light duty applications. It is the only air compressor that solves common safety issues found with traditional air compressors in vans.

VMAC engineers van mounting kits for the easiest possible installation. Working closely with leading van manufacturers, VMAC ensures that mounting kits do not affect OEM warranties.

Mounting kits available for:

Ford Transit EcoBoost Gas
Ford Transit PFDi Gas
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Turbo Diesel

Some applications are restricted to specific series and/or models. Please confirm compatible vehicles on VMAC’s Application List.

Free Up To 10 Cubic Feet In Your Cargo Area

UNDERHOOD40 air compressors free up to 10 cubic feet in the cargo area because the air compressor mounts in the engine compartment. The only space required in the cargo area is 1.7 cubic feet for a combined air/oil cooler and air/oil separator tank.

Reduce Vehicle GVW By Up To 290 lb

UNDERHOOD40 air compressors reduce van GVW by as much as 290 lb. Choosing a lightweight air compressor means you’ll be able to add more tools and equipment to your van, carry more materials, or take advantage of better fuel economy.

Up To 40 CFM*, 100% Of The Time

UNDERHOOD40 air compressors use patented rotary screw technology designed to run at 100% duty cycle without stopping, so operators don’t have to wait for their air compressor to fill up a large air receiver tank.

Eliminate Common Safety Issues

UNDERHOOD40 – Van Series air compressors are the only 40 CFM air compressors specifically engineered to eliminate safety hazards that van operators face, including lifting injuries, toxic fume exposure, and gas fires inside the cargo area.
