OVP solutions on display at the Commercial Vehicle Show

On-vehicle power is the fuel-efficient, low-noise and convenient alternative to transporting separate compressors and generators from site to site. Systems can provide mobile compressed air and electric power whilst delivering improved vehicle utilisation and lower exhaust emissions, with a model available to suit each type of commercial vehicle and business. Other OVP options that can be supplied by Winton include hydraulic power or high pressure water jetting.

Suitable for 3-26 tonne commercial vehicles, Winton’s systems are designed for a wide variety of applications, and can be used for the operation of road drills, breakers, hand tools, site lighting and electro fusion equipment. They can deliver compressed air from 35-160cfm at pressures of 100-180psi and can be used in conjunction with hydraulic or mobile electric power delivering from 1-10kVA at 110, 240V or dual voltage with a range of electric outlets up to 32A.

Furthermore, Winton’s systems are lightweight. Since the introduction of Euro 6, equipment weight has become a major consideration for all commercial vehicle managers. In response to this Winton has honed its offering to achieve a lower weight for its core DLPTO system. Through practical alterations such as replacing steel with lighter materials including plastic and alloys, reconfiguring the structure of the drive and using lightweight cabling, total weight has been reduced without compromising the integrity of the system or undermining quality. Winton also offers a compact engine mounted system for both front and rear wheel drive vehicles, where the on-vehicle power system is installed within the engine compartment to reduce the overall vehicle weight and increase payload.

These lightweight innovations will be on display on stand 5H80, and visitors can take a closer, hands-on look at the latest underfloor DLPTO system and bi-turbo under-bonnet engine mounted FWD system.

Paul Smith, commercial manager at Winton, said: “The Commercial Vehicle Show is always a successful event for us, as our range of systems holds a solution for such a wide spectrum of businesses. We look forward to showing visitors our solutions, and explaining more about how we have addressed the requirements of Euro 6.”

Winton offers a one-stop-shop design and build service alongside service, repair and maintenance packages, and boasts a 98% first time fix rate. Its systems are installed in line with vehicle manufacturer guidelines, and are believed to be the only on-vehicle power systems in the UK to be installed and certified to N1 European National Small Series Type Approval.
