Is that Compressor in Stock?

It’s a question we’ve all heard a lot this summer. No matter where you turn, the supply of Sanden compressors has been tight. It’s been a frustrating time. 

Not that you care. Your truck or machine needs an A/C compressor. So how can we help?

If your Red Dot distributor doesn’t have the Sanden compressor you need, the best next step is to see if we have a comparable compressor from QUE. We’ve stocked QUE compressors for years (QUE is a partner of T/CCI). It’s a quality all-makes product line.

Red Dot R-3310 for Kalmar-Ottawa Yard Trucks

Yard trucks, mules, shunt trucks—no matter what you call them, Kalmar-Ottawa terminal tractors are made for productivity and comfort. Now Red Dot is part of that mix. 

Our R-3310 under-dash HVAC unit is a drop-in aftermarket replacement for the existing HVAC on 1998 to 2010 Kalmar YT-30 yard tractors. It delivers 17,000 BTU/Hr
 for cooling and  25,000 BTU/Hr for heat, and at 290 CFM, the R-3310 produces a 25% increase in airflow over the unit it's designed to replace.
