Our aim is to keep air conditioning simple for our customers. We know you don’t have time for endless hours of research when it comes to solving problems for the vehicles you work on.
In this article, we take the guesswork out of installing air conditioning in heavy duty machinery for agriculture and mining. We’ve assessed the benefits of several of the rooftop units we have in stock and sell here at Highgate Air. We cover all the things you need to consider such as whether the system cools AND heats, how much cab space it needs and the weight and dimensions of each product.
Rooftop units are an excellent add-on aircon system to a vehicle that has not had air conditioning before or the system installed has either failed or is not suitable for Australian conditions. All you need to install is a suction and a discharge hose, the rest is contained within the unit. The benefits are that you have a unit that has a perfectly matched condenser and evaporator and the air blows directly over the icy cold evaporator and into the cab, removing inefficiencies of ductwork like in many OE systems.
Engineering and design of rooftop and add-on units has moved forward in leaps and bounds and Sigma’s motto of ‘Zero Failure’ delivers true value, taking into account the overall lifecycle of their products. HVAC products are designed and engineered right here in Australia, with state of the art manufacturing plants in Sydney and Brisbane. Sigma takes air conditioning to the next level where high temperatures, severe vibration, dense particles and corrosive environments prevail.
So there you have it! That’s some of the most important things you need to know about the best rooftop units for heavy duty machinery. And of course, at Highgate Air, our service doesn’t end when we supply a product. If you need a customised solution for the vehicle you’re working on, all you need to do is ask.
