Mahle ArcticPRO ACX2180H R134a Refrigerant Handling System for Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrid A/C service isn't the same job as a standard R134a system, and running a hybrid through a machine that isn't rated for high-voltage compressor work is how you end up with a damaged system and an angry customer. The Mahle ArcticPRO ACX2180H is hybrid certified specifically for high-voltage compressor service, so you're not improvising a workaround on a vehicle that doesn't forgive shortcuts.
Like the rest of the ArcticPRO lineup, the ACX2180H runs a 7-inch capacitive touch display with an intuitive interface, and an LED status light keeps the job visible from anywhere in the shop. Three transducers give it a faster, more reliable read through the process than a single-sensor machine, which matters when you're troubleshooting a hybrid system that's already more finicky to diagnose.
The iOS and Android app mirrors the service session remotely, so your tech isn't chained to the machine for the whole job. Wireless software updates install automatically, and if something needs a second set of eyes, MAHLE can connect to the unit over WiFi for remote troubleshooting support.
This is an SAE J-2788 certified R134a machine, built for shops that are picking up more hybrid and EV work and need equipment that's actually rated for it. Order the ACX2180H through GSG and parts and support are a phone call away, not routed through a manufacturer queue.
