Workhorse Offers PTO, Renames Walk-In Truck

TROY, MI - Workhorse Custom Chassis offers a power take-off (PTO) that can drive a multitude of products including an air compressor, generator, or hydraulic pump for walk-in trucks built on Workhorse’s new heavy-duty W62 diesel chassis.

Workhorse has created an integrated build process that enables the PTO option to be spec’d with the chassis right from the dealer. The PTO-ready chassis is then upfitted with a selection of products from Vanair, a manufacturer of vehicle-mounted air compressors.

Totally contained within the chassis frame rails, the Vanair products utilize the power of the engine to drive pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic tools and equipment. The auxiliary power is generated from the platform’s International Maxxforce 5, 200 horsepower diesel engine.

Additionally, over the past year, Workhorse’s walk-in truck has seen a number of redesigns and now it’s also getting a new name — the MetroStar.
