Associated Equipment 6006 6/12/24V 70/65/30 Amp Charge 280 Amp Cranking Assist Charger with Wheels

This is an excellent commercial grade jump box.This can literally jump start anything.Things i have Jump started: a 300 ton Crane, a Cat 228 excavator, my jeep grand Cherokee, Multi-quip 100KW generator, Tug boat, more bob cat skid steers that i can count. Probably 100 of them.Anyway. my last one finally gave out after years of hard use and i was pleasantly surprised i could get its replacement on amazon with free prime shipping.A+ to amazon for carrying a truly heavy duty commercial product.

This charger works perfect for charging and jumping our heavy equipment, but the 2 minor flaws that we noticed within a week of use are the cheap wheels and front bracket stand. We pull and transport the charger all over our grounds and the bracket broke within a week and the wheels within two. It would be nice if Associated would invest a bit more on these items when you're spending $500-600 on a charger.

I purchased this charger because of its versatility and durability (Heavy Duty).It is a great charger except for one deplorable thing! It has heavy plastic insulation on the cables and electrical cord! They are so stiff you would think it was crap from China, and that's just at 50 degrees F. I have no idea how much more contemptable they'll be when the weather REALLY gets COLD, when a person generally most often needs a charger. So if you want flexible cables get one with rubber insulation.......yeh right, like anyone nowadays bothers to tell you that or even mention the type of insulation. If it gives me problems at 25 degrees below F., I will probably swap them out with #3 or #4 welding cable, and if I do, they will will be 3 feet longer, to reach high up on my old tractors.Had this charger the aforementioned excellent cable insulation, I would readily give it 5 Stars. This charger does not have all the bells and whistles, to go haywire, plain, simple, durable, and will hopefully last 20 plus years easily, as long as no dummy goes and touches/sparks the charging clamps together! (Knocks the sap out of and dramatically shortenes the life of the rectifier(s).I hope someone at Associated reads and fixes this, until they do I will have to recommend Century brand made in Minnesota....it gets cold there, they know. One would want to make sure about the cable insulation first, though.My Matco (made by them) lasted 28 years, with only 2 recifier replacements, now not to be had) Don't get me wrong, Associated is good American built product, it is just a shame they cut a corner. lssmonikeratyahoodotcom

Our former management purchased fleet chargers from overseas that we were constantly ordering component parts. Once I came in, I was familiar with your chargers, having used them for many years. We have to date purchased 3 of them and have had no problems. I am glad that we still have American companies with great workmanship.

This unit is used in a Cat Dealer shop and jumps everything from skid steers to excavators to semis, and personal vehicles. Made in USA, and tuff as nails.
