Vantage 500
Setting A New Standard!
If you are looking for a rugged, reliable and capable welder for demanding construction,
rental fleet or repair applications, take a close look at the Vantage 500. Standard stainless
steel roof and side panels, simple controls and Chopper Technology™ deliver the low
maintenance, long service life, easy operation and great arc performance every owner
appreciates. This multi-process powerhouse features 500 amps at 100% duty cycle, or
575 amps at 50%. Don’t pay extra for plenty of AC auxiliary power – up to 20,000 watts of
3-phase and 12,000 watts of 1-phase is standard. Select the 48 horsepower oil/air-cooled
Deutz engine or the 54 horsepower water-cooled Cummins engine. Either way, you can
depend on legendary engine reliability from well-known brands and superior Lincoln arc
performance.
