Description

Technical Field

[0001] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure generally relate to a vehicle, and more specifically to a vehicle apparatus and its method. Background Technology

[0002] Air trucks are portable devices designed to supply clean air from high-pressure gas cylinders, typically used in hazardous environments such as firefighting, confined space entry, and industrial operations where air quality is compromised. Air trucks allow workers to remain mobile while receiving a continuous supply of breathable air via long hoses connected to the truck. However, conventional air trucks lack dedicated storage for essential items such as face masks, requiring separate handling. Furthermore, air truck cylinders are usually tightly secured with webbing, making replacement complex and time-consuming, especially in emergencies. Additionally, air trucks often lack built-in stabilizing components when stationary, particularly on uneven terrain. Moreover, the high-pressure cylinders are exposed to the environment, increasing the risk of damage or rupture, potentially injuring nearby individuals. Finally, conventional air trucks cannot provide accurate pressure readings of the gas filling the high-pressure cylinders.

[0056] This invention provides an efficient and organized system for protecting and managing gas storage and pressure regulation. In this invention, multiple clamps 106 positioned at a second section 112 of a frame 102 securely hold multiple gas cylinders 600, thereby ensuring stability during operation. Specifically, a third section 114 of the frame 102 can accommodate at least one encapsulation 108, which can facilitate the storage of one or more objects and a pressure regulator unit 604. Integration of the pressure regulator unit 604 with the multiple gas cylinders 600 enables precise regulation and monitoring of air pressure, thereby ensuring safety and operational efficiency. This invention simplifies gas storage and handling, reduces risk, and improves overall workflow efficiency.
