The Vanguard 160 horizontal shaft engine delivers 3.7 gross kW (5 HP) of professional-grade performance for applications requiring compact, drop-fit power solutions. Purpose-built for equipment operators and integrators seeking reduced maintenance and enhanced reliability, it offers advanced protection features and simplified starting—even in extreme cold.
- Lower noise. Less vibration. Increased user comfort: Engineered to reduce vibration and noise for improved operator experience and increased productivity.
- Low TCO, reduced downtime: TransportGuard™, extended oil and air filter intervals minimize service disruptions and cut ownership costs.
- Ideal for simple replacement: Engine dimensions and mounting points allow for quick replacement of existing engines with no reengineering required.
Features & Benefits
- Simplified 3-Step Starting
Optimized recoil system requires fewer pulls and lower force, tested down to -29°C for consistent performance in all climates. - Eliminate Fuel/Oil Dilution
Exclusive TransportGuard™ 3-in-1 control simultaneously shuts off ignition and fuel—preventing fuel-oil contamination during transport and reducing downtime. - Optimized Fuel Management
Refined fuel system enhances resistance to stale fuel, improving cold-start reliability and overall longevity. - Advanced Engine Protection
Low oil sensor guards against damage by automatically detecting critical oil levels, preserving engine health. - Outperforms in All Terrains
Optional 45° inclination kit ensures uninterrupted engine performance on steep inclines—ideal for UGVs and rugged environments. - More Efficient Power Management
Governed idle allows for more consistent power delivery at low speeds, precise RPM settings, and smoother load handling. - Fewer Air Filter Changes
Cyclonic air filtration system enables 600-hour replacement intervals—twice the industry standard—boosting uptime. - Longer Oil Maintenance Intervals
Double the oil service interval of competing engines, with up to 50% less oil waste for reduced maintenance costs and environmental impact. - Zero Overhang Muffler (Optional)
Optional flush-mount muffler enables a clean engine profile for easier integration and retrofitting. - Reduced Noise and Vibration
Lower vibration and quieter operation significantly enhance operator comfort and system stability.
