City of Kansas City, MO incorporates HIPPO into Large Meter Truck
The City of Kansas City, MO just purchased a new truck for their meter
shop which is being referred to as the "Large Meter Truck". It is
large, and powerful, and packs quite a punch. It's a new truck for
them, and a new product for us, the 5544P
multi-powerpack.
The 5444P is capable of operating the crane, an 80cfm (rotary-screw)
air-compressor, a 6,000Watt generator, and a 10gpm hydraulic tool
circuit, all at the same time. Each function is completely independent
of the others, and can be enabled with a simple flip of a switch.
