Industrial Price: 15591.00 (USD) *See Details

Get a 500 amp welder in a compact case! The same size as the Vantage® 300 and 400! A turbo-charged diesel engine with Lincoln’s Chopper Technology® makes this a reality! Also, less weight than traditional 500 amp welders makes the Vantage® 500 compact design a great choice for installation on truck beds where available space and weight capacity are limited.

All the features that have been standard on Vantage® products are here: stainless steel enclosure, multi-process welding, plenty of AC generator power (single and 3-phase). The compact Vantage® 500 also includes a fifth weld mode for maximum arc gouging output, VRD™ (Voltage Reduction Device™), innovative service access and sealed GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) modules – sealed from moisture for more reliable operation! The Vantage® 500 compact design is a great choice for construction and rental fleets. It’s ready for tough duty!
