What is the Project?
Electrify your worksite with a breakthrough in mobile power—this is a zero-emission, fully electric power unit proudly made in Quebec. The project introduces the Gamo-X, a cutting-edge solution that replaces noisy PTOs and idling trucks by converting battery-stored electricity into mechanical power. Designed specifically for mobile maintenance worksites, this unit supports municipal, commercial, and industrial operations. Built to endure the rough Canadian climate, it features a lithium-ion battery system that conditions itself to the right temperature, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions… a game-changing approach to powering job site tools.
Main Benefit
Key benefits and facts of this innovative clean power solution include:
- Zero Emissions: Completely eliminates the carbon footprint of traditional diesel-powered generators and idling trucks.
- Noise Reduction: Operates at noise levels well below municipal limits thanks to the smart design and soundproof casing.
- Fuel Cost Savings: Cuts fuel expenses dramatically by replacing power take-off (PTO) systems with an efficient heavy-duty lithium-ion battery pack.
- Multi-Power Functionality: Provides hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric power—with configurations supporting up to 70 CFM pneumatic power at 150 psi, hydraulic circuits of 8 to 12 GPM up to 2500 psi, and electric outlets delivering 4kW continuous (12kW surge).
- Flexible Configurations: Available in truck-mounted, trailer-mounted, and standalone versions to adapt to various worksite needs.
Sustainability and Clean Energy
Sustainability is at the heart of the project. Every Gamo-X unit is designed to fight climate change with a zero-emission power system that not only cuts fuel and noise but also reduces overall environmental impact. The battery system intelligently adjusts to maintain optimal temperatures, a crucial feature for enduring the unpredictable Canadian climate. Clean energy doesn’t just power the unit—it also supplies heat to the truck cabin, illustrating how smart design can combine functionality with environmental responsibility. This eco-friendly solution is more than technology; it’s a statement that sustainability and modern infrastructure maintenance can go hand in hand.
Industry Applications
The Gamo-X has been engineered with versatility in mind, making it a valuable asset across multiple sectors. Municipal work, commercial operations, and industrial maintenance tasks can all benefit from its multipurpose power outputs. Equipped with hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric outlets, the mobile power unit can be modified to suit a wide range of tools and applications. For example, municipal works truck managers now have an option to power their tools without the environmental penalty of idling trucks. This level of adaptability not only boosts operational efficiency but also enhances safety and communication at the worksite, all while meeting rigorous municipal regulations on noise and emissions.
Product Features and Configurations
The Gamo-X is designed to provide clean and multipurpose power with a plethora of features. Its storage capacity options include a 32.4 kWh 144V or 70 kWh 144V Lithium Ion NMC battery, which is paired with an additional 6.5 kWh 12V 540Ah Lithium Ion LiFePO4 battery. Charging options are flexible, offering Level II charging using an SAE J1772 standard EV charger (240V) or slow charging via a standard 120V socket. Beyond its impressive battery and charging specs, the unit offers up to 70 CFM pneumatic power at 150 psi, and hydraulic options with 8 GPM & 12 GPM circuits capable of reaching up to 2500 psi. There are also electric power features with both 120VAC and 240VAC outlets providing 4kW continuous and 12kW surge power, as well as additional functionalities like a water outlet (4-6 L/min at 130 psi with a 20-gallon tank) and an engine booster with a user-selectable DC voltage output. Emergency stick-welding capabilities and panel-mounted connections further extend its versatility. Available configurations include truck-mounted, trailer-mounted, and standalone versions, making it highly adaptable for varied worksite demands.
