PowerPlant™ Press Release
PowerPlant Dual Force Vehicle-Mounted
Multi-Purpose Performance Tool
Gives you compressed air and pulling power - all in one unit
Clackamas, OR (9/13/06) - Warn Industries has been acknowledged as the world leader in winch
technology. When our customers told us they wanted a versatile tool that could provide a high performance
and robust on-board air compressor and a legendary WARNŽ winch, we listened.
In response, we have designed a state-of-the-art air compressor and combined it with our legendary
winch engineering capability to create a new and versatile, self-contained, vehicle-mounted unit to
give you the ultimate multi-tool for your truck or SUV!
Introducing the new WARN PowerPlant™ - a patent-pending multi-purpose tool that features the
capabilities of both a premium air compressor and a top-of-the line winch. It's the ultimate
combination of performance and function.
Tom Giacomini, President of Warn Industries, Inc. said, "WARN is always working with the four-wheel
drive community to develop products to meet the needs of the enthusiast and the tradesman. This
product was developed in conjunction with end users and a select group of top WARN engineers. The
result is an on-board, vehicle-mounted air compressor with a winch. The PowerPlant is a patent pending,
world-class multi-function tool to meet a variety of needs. We are extremely excited to bring
this product to our customers, and based off of our initial response, we expect this to be a huge
success in the industry."
In air compressor mode, PowerPlant is a robust, integrated system that performs above and beyond
other air compressors, thanks to industry-leading features such as a massive 4.6 horsepower motor;
a built-in intercooler to reduce air temperature; and a high airflow rating of 12 cfm at 0 psi, and 5
cfm at 90 psi. The unit also has high and low pressure regulating switches for efficient operation, and
a thermal sensor to monitor motor temperature and to maximize motor life.
When called upon as a winch, PowerPlant answers with the features you would expect from a WARN
product: a 3-stage planetary geartrain; a Gen II Motor; a new contactor design that requires less
current draw and improves reliability; and an automatic load-holding brake for effective winch
operation and positive operator feedback.
The PowerPlant is available in two configurations: 9,500 lb. high performance (HP) for enthusiasts
who demand faster line speed, and 12,000 lb. high duty (HD) for longer motor duty cycles.
The unit comes with an air hose and fittings for quick use right out of the box. Additional air
compressor accessories are available to increase the capabilities of the PowerPlant.
The new WARN PowerPlant - a winning combination of technology, performance and durability.
