Compact Design!

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 Electric 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.
