What’s in the Box? Let’s Talk Specs.

The HKR Hydraulic Above Deck Compressor line-up has two different models, both available for 12V and 24V systems: the HKR800-AD and the HKR2500-AD. The uniqueness of this compressor line-up comes from its extreme performance. For example, HKR2500-AD delivers up to 88 CFM of air at 145 PSI, all in one compact unit while its smaller brother provides 28 CFM of air at 145 PSI.

One important feature is that by controlling the hydraulic flow, you can adjust the air output of the compressor to match your needs perfectly. In addition, the unit includes a rotation speed control cartridge that allows users to exceed the hydraulic oil flow by up to 50% of its nominal value, protecting the compressor. As shown in the chart below, the HKR2500-AD model in particular enables users to fine-tune the unit’s output precisely to their requirements.

The Field Is Ready for a Newcomer!

This new compressor is already making waves in the field. Janne Ekstam, CEO of Kanon Enterprises LLC in Iowa and a DYNASET dealer in the USA, believes the product has strong potential.

“I believe that the biggest advantage for the Dynaset’s above deck compressor is the ability to provide different air output capacities by varying the amount of hydraulic flow and pressure provided to the compressor.  Additionally, the HKR Hydraulic Above Deck Compressor has the ability to provide great amount of output with decent hydraulic flow and pressure. The features it offers provide a wide range of potential applications across many markets and hydraulic systems..”

Janne Hietamäki, one of DYNASET’s Area Sales Managers for the USA, shares the same view and adds:

“The HKR Above Deck Compressor is ideal for work trucks. Built to DYNASET’s high-quality standards, it’s a durable and reliable solution. With its thick casing, this unit is built for really tough work.”
