Versatility in the field is a must for Nick Bezates, owner of Bezates Construction Inc., a mobile welding and construction business in Beavercreek, Oregon. With a family legacy and a reputation for tackling everything from welding, fabrication and excavation services, Bezates Construction depends on reliable equipment to get the job done. In the demanding world of mobile welding, every minute counts, so the equipment must deliver.
Meeting jobsite demands with a powerful all-in-one solution
Bezates Construction serves a wide range of markets and job types, requiring equipment that can perform when faced with unpredictable demands. Traditional setups often meant hauling multiple pieces of equipment and extra tools.
Miller is a brand Bezates has always turned to and trusted throughout his career. His relationship with Miller grew when he began working with the company’s engineering team, sharing insights from the field to help shape future innovations. That collaboration played a role in the development of the wireless interface control (WIC) and new Trailblazer platforms.
Bezates began using the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak because it offered the flexibility he needed. The ability to run compressed air, multiprocess weld capabilities, auxiliary power and battery charge/crank assist in one compact unit brought significant improvements in arc quality, control and ease of use.
“I like the versatility of the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak,” said Bezates. “Having the advantage to run everything I need, along with the remote capabilities, makes my job that much easier.”
The next-generation Trailblazer® 330 Air Pak™ provides innovation that works where it matters most
After upgrading to the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak, Bezates immediately noticed how the machine’s design and technology addressed the everyday jobsite challenges. From improved performance to smarter ergonomics, each feature was built to simplify his workflow and maximize efficiency on the job. Here’s how the all-in-one machine delivers where it matters most:
- Intuitive user interface: The digital screen provides clear readouts, even in bright sunlight, making setup and process selection faster and easier.
- Reduced weight and enhanced ergonomics: Weighing nearly 180 pounds less and taking up 13% less space than previous models, the compact 330 fits better on the truck, reduces wear and tear on the chassis and allows for more efficient transport.
- On-demand compressed air: The compressor produces 30 cfm of air at 100% duty cycle and delivers 80-160 psi of air, saving space, lightening the payload and eliminating the need for a separate compressor.
- Battery charge/crank assist: Eliminates the need to carry a stand-alone battery charger on the work truck.
- Quick, easy parameter setup: Auto-Set™ technology makes weld parameter setup precise for all operators.
- Consistent power and reliability: Excel™ power ensures smooth, consistent output at idle, supporting sensitive electronics and jump-starting heavy equipment when needed.
- Front panel operation from anywhere: Upgraded arc technology and WIC remote features provide full control of the machine in the palm of your hand, allowing operators to change welding processes, adjust parameters and save preset programs hassle-free. For Bezates, it has significantly streamlined his workflow, especially when working in challenging environments like ditches or man lifts. “The improved arc quality and control is one of the best things that I like about it,” said Bezates. “And the remote cuts down on setup, manual errors and adjustability time.”
- Automatic polarity reversing: Switching between welding processes is now effortless, with the machine handling polarity changes automatically.
Pride in partnership and performance
Having participated in the development and testing of the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak, Bezates feels a deep sense of pride in using equipment that stands up to daily demands and delivers on its promises. “It makes me feel really proud to be able to stand behind a product where my input was valued and the quality and output were elevated.”
With Miller’s all-in-one machine, Bezates’ business is equipped to work smarter and more efficiently, continuing to deliver on its long-standing legacy of reliability and excellence, no matter the job at hand.
