Idling of Utility Bucket Trucks

July 17, 2007 @ 6:41 pm


Q.		I sell new Versalift bucket Trucks. Many of my customers are beginning to talk about ACPU’s to combat the idling of the trucks- most are F-550’s or similar trucks all the way up to class 8. What kind of a unit do you recommend we install to help with emmissions and can these run 7-13gpm pumps with 1500-2500 psi hydralic pumps on them?

I'm sure for the most part that you are probably idling for heat. If that is the case I would recommend the installation of Espar fuel Operated Heaters. These heating systems are very small and can fit into the palm of your hand, weighing about 5-7 lbs. They run off of the existing fuel tank and are quiet easily installed. Our applications cover all the vehicle models and sizes that you mention in your question. It would be the same unit for the F-550 as the Class 8 truck. The units are the Airtronic D2 bunk heater and the Hydronic 5 engine pre-heater. Both these systems run independently of the engine and don't interfer with any other system.
