Smart Power Systems Unveils RT Series

Smart Power Systems unveiled the RT hydraulic generator series, which includes an integrated rescue-tool pump from XRT Power Systems, said Will Leach, Smart Power System's vice president of sales and service.

Leach said what sets the RT series apart from the company's other generators is the integration of the XRT hydraulic rescue pump, a three-port power system attached to the back of the generator shaft. The system is compatible with all cutters, spreaders and extraction tools, and is currently available for Ford transmissions as well as most Allison transmissions that have open PTO ports available, according to XRT.

"Instead of needing an extra-large generator where you need to run an electric-power rescue-tool system, this drives it mechanically off our hydraulic circuit, which means the hydraulics are more powerful," he said. "You can run the generator and all three tools at the same time."

The generator is available in 10kW and 15kW models, Leach said.
