Brackets and mounting systems. The application is open-ended.
Ramair's engineering capability sits at the bracket, drive, and mounting system level. The discipline is consistent across applications: bracket geometry, drive integration, alignment tolerances, and chassis-specific load paths engineered to fit a component to a vehicle. The component on the other side of the bracket is open-ended. Compressors of every kind, alternators, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, electric and battery auxiliary, compressed air installations, and the categories that follow.
The product areas below represent the major established applications. New requirements are engineered as they arrive.
In-house design and prototyping
Every Ramair kit is engineered in-house using 3D CAD modelling, with cast moulding executed through long-established manufacturing partnerships. Bespoke and custom designs are supported by on-site 3D rapid prototyping, allowing fitment and geometry to be validated against simulated real-world conditions before tooling is committed. The process compresses development cycles and ensures the first physical kit produced is the right one.
Compressor mount kits
The original Ramair product line, in continuous development for over 40 years. Compressor mount kits comprise cast brackets, drive components, and ancillary hardware engineered to fit a compressor to a specific truck or vehicle chassis.
The engineering challenge is geometric. The compressor must sit at the correct distance and angle from the engine's drive pulley, with belt routing that avoids interference with chassis components, accessory drives, and the engine bay envelope. The bracket must transfer drive load through to the chassis structure without inducing vibration or fatigue. Belt geometry must remain stable across thermal cycling, load variation, and the full service life of the installation.
Ramair's solution combines cast bracket manufacturing through long-established European partnerships with chassis-specific engineering executed in Melbourne. Cast brackets deliver 100% manufacturing consistency with no distortion or alignment variation across production runs. Belt geometry, pulley alignment, and load transfer are designed and validated for the specific chassis before production. The result is a kit that fits perfectly first time, every time, and performs as if it were factory fitted across the full service life.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
The largest application area. Compressor mount kits for trucks running Thermo King and Carrier Transicold refrigeration units across global fleets, passenger transport air conditioning systems for bus and coach operators, and stationary industrial cooling installations.
Compressed air systems
The same bracket engineering applied to engine-driven air compressor installations. 4WD recovery and tyre inflation, roadside assistance vehicles, towing operations, suspension air systems, mobile workshops, trade utes, marine and boat platforms, tractors, and off road vehicles all require on-board compressed air capacity driven from the engine. Ramair brackets enable these installations across diesel, petrol, and LPG-powered platforms.

Alternator drive systems
High output alternator drive systems supply the electrical power needed by commercial vehicles operating with extended idle and accessory loads. Service vehicles running on-board equipment, refrigerated transport with extended pre-cool cycles, logistics fleets with hydraulic tailgates and temperature monitoring, and specialist vehicles with auxiliary lighting, communications, or process equipment all require electrical capacity beyond standard original equipment.
Ramair engineers the drive geometry, mounting structure, and belt routing required to integrate a high output alternator into the existing engine bay envelope. The integration must preserve original equipment warranty positions, maintain serviceability of standard engine components, and deliver belt tension and pulley alignment that supports sustained high-current operation.
Alternator drive systems are supplied as complete kits, including bracket, drive components, tensioning hardware, and where required the alternator itself sourced through Ramair's distribution channel.
Service fleets, mining and remote site vehicles, refrigerated transport, mobile workshop platforms, specialist communications and process vehicles.
Hydraulic and pneumatic drive
Hydraulic and pneumatic drive systems power the working hardware integrated into specialist vehicle bodies. Tippers, tankers, service vehicles, vacuum trucks, refuse vehicles, and a wide range of body-builder applications require auxiliary drives capable of delivering hydraulic flow or pneumatic capacity to the body system, often while the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speed.
The drive must be integrated with the vehicle's engine accessory architecture without conflicting with the original drive system, the cooling system, or the body builder's structural integration. Ramair engineers the bracket, drive geometry, and integration solution required to deliver reliable hydraulic or pneumatic output across the duty cycle of the application.
Tipper and tanker body builds. Service and vacuum vehicles. Refuse and specialist municipal vehicles. Mobile process and industrial platforms.
Battery and electric auxiliary mounting
The transition to electrified commercial vehicles introduces a new generation of accessory architectures. Electric compressors, electric hydraulic pumps, lithium auxiliary battery banks, and electronic control units all require mounting solutions engineered for the vibration, thermal, and structural demands of commercial vehicle service.
Ramair extends the engineering discipline applied to mechanical mount and drive systems for over 40 years to the new electric and battery auxiliary requirements. The bracket geometry, structural attachment, vibration management, and thermal isolation are engineered for the specific component and the specific chassis, rather than adapted from generic mounting hardware.
This product area is in active development as the commercial vehicle industry electrifies. Engineering enquiries for specific applications, new platform integrations, and OEM partnerships are welcomed.

Service kits and component supply
Alongside the engineered product areas, Ramair stocks the service kits, spare parts, and replacement components needed to keep installations performing across their working life. Ramair-brand service kits for installed systems are held alongside replacement compressors, high output alternators, drive belts, tensioners, idler pulleys, and bearing service parts.
The complete kit supply position, with engineering, manufacturing, and distribution functions operating from a single source, allows Ramair to deliver and maintain installations without the supply chain fragmentation typical of the aftermarket sector. Same day shipping on stocked lines.
