K3239-2-RP3 - Lincoln Vantage 566 Deutz Diesel Welder Ready-Pak 3

Technical Overview

The Lincoln Electric Vantage 566 (Deutz) Ready-Pak 3 (K3239-2-RP3) is a high-capacity engine-driven welder and AC generator designed for the most demanding industrial environments. At its core is the turbocharged Deutz TD 2.9 L4 diesel engine, which is EPA Tier 4 Final compliant, ensuring it meets modern emission standards while delivering robust torque and reliability. This machine is rated for 575 amps at 100% duty cycle, making it capable of sustained heavy-duty welding operations including Stick, TIG, MIG, Flux-Cored, and Arc Gouging with carbons up to 3/8 inch (9.5 mm).

The unit features Lincoln's proprietary Chopper Technology®, which provides easy starts, a smooth arc, low spatter, and excellent bead appearance. The generator capabilities are equally impressive, offering 12.5 kW peak and 11 kW continuous 3-phase AC power (240V), alongside 10 kW continuous 1-phase power. This allows operators to run industrial tools, lights, and plasma cutters simultaneously. The Ready-Pak 3 configuration is a turnkey solution that ships with a medium welder trailer, fender and light kit, cable rack, and a full set of 2/0 welding cables, significantly reducing procurement complexity and setup time.

Construction and Maintenance

Built for longevity, the Vantage 566 is housed in a compact case with standard stainless steel roof, side panels, and engine-access door. This construction offers superior protection against corrosion and impact damage common in construction and mining sites. The engine is liquid-cooled and features a digital gauge cluster for monitoring oil pressure, engine temperature, and fuel levels. Maintenance is simplified with a sliding engine access door and easily accessible service points. The VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) comes standard, enhancing operator safety by reducing Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) when not welding.
