Warn PowerPlant Dual Force HP

The new Warn PowerPlant Dual Force HP combines a winch and air compressor in one compact unit. The high output compressor delivers 5 CFM @ 90 PSI which is enough to rapidly air up tires or power air tools such as an impact wrench. The generation III motor powers both the winch and the air compressor resulting in fewer moving parts. Warn also offers a heavy duty unit for trucks, the PowerPlant Dual Force HD.
