OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Mobile Industrial Workstation

The Lincoln Electric Air Vantage® 566 Ready-Pak® 1 is the definitive solution for heavy-duty industrial applications that demand versatility, power, and mobility. Designed for the harshest environments—from mining and pipeline construction to general fabrication and maintenance—this unit combines a high-amperage welding power source, a robust AC generator, and a high-performance air compressor into a single, towable package. By consolidating three critical pieces of equipment into one, the Air Vantage 566 reduces job site clutter, lowers fuel consumption, and simplifies logistics.

At the heart of this machine is the reliable Deutz® TD2.9L4 turbo-charged diesel engine. Fully compliant with EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards, this engine delivers the torque and stability required for long shifts under heavy load. The integrated VMAC® rotary screw air compressor is a standout feature, providing 60 CFM at 100 PSI. This allows operators to run plasma cutters, air tools, and inflate tires without the need for a separate tow-behind compressor. The Ready-Pak® 1 configuration adds immediate value by including a medium-duty welder trailer, fender and light kit, and cable rack, ensuring the unit is road-ready the moment it arrives.

Durability is paramount in the Air Vantage design. The unit features stainless steel panels and a potted PC board to resist corrosion and vibration. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery in a remote quarry or laying pipe in challenging terrain, the Air Vantage 566 provides the reliability and multi-functionality that project managers and fleet owners trust to keep operations moving efficiently.
