Specialty Vehicles

Compressed air plays a crucial role in various stages of manufacturing, repair, and maintenance for a wide range of specialty vehicles, including military vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, construction vehicles, buses, armored vehicles, and agricultural equipment. In production, compressed air powers pneumatic tools for welding, riveting, and assembly, testing and inspection equipment for leak detection and functionality checks, and material handling systems for efficient component movement. During repair and maintenance, it operates diagnostic tools, facilitates cleaning, and powers specific equipment like lifts and jacks. Overall, compressed air contributes to the efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness of specialty vehicle operations by offering speed, precision, and versatility, while reducing manual labor and energy consumption compared to alternative methods.

Specialty vehicle operations can be a logistical nightmare, and managing multiple vendors for critical materials carries high operational costs of time and shipping. By partnering with a one-stop compressed air solutions provider you can maximize efficiency and minimize the risk ripple effect.

For specialty vehicle manufacturing operations, compressed air is used for tire inflation, vehicle lifts, cleaning and detailing, pneumatic tool powering, brake system maintenance, air suspension adjustments, testing and inspection, material handling, painting, robotic automation and more.

Humidity and temperature fluctuations can contribute to condensation and accelerate corrosion on both metal and non-metal components. By proactively addressing corrosion, you can ensure safe and reliable operations, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and minimize costly repairs and downtime. FastPipe by RapidAir’s long, straight blue aluminum pipes are corrosion resistant, can connect to all existing piping systems, and have multiple mounting options.

 Filtration applications such as filters and replacement elements, dryers and drains are important elements of total system filtration and point-of-use filtration.
