OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Go-Anywhere Stick Welder

If you loved the TransPocket 1500, the Fronius TransPocket 180 is going to blow you away. This isn't just another lunchbox welder; it's a professional-grade powerhouse designed for the welder who needs reliability in the toughest spots. Whether you are repairing heavy equipment in the field, working on a pipeline, or fabricating in the shop, the TP180 delivers the smoothest arc you've ever felt in a machine this size. It eats 6010 rods for breakfast and runs 7018s like butter, giving you x-ray quality welds every time.

No Power? No Problem.

One of the biggest headaches on a job site is power management. The TransPocket 180 solves this with its Multi-Voltage capability (120V/230V) and incredible tolerance for long extension cords. You can run this machine on a 300-foot extension cord without losing arc stability or tripping breakers, thanks to its Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology. It is also fully generator-compatible, handling voltage fluctuations effortlessly so your arc stays crisp and consistent even if the generator bogs down.

Built for the Real World

Fronius knows that welding equipment takes a beating. That's why the TransPocket 180 is built tough with a high-impact housing and an integrated dust filter to keep the internals clean. It's lightweight enough to throw over your shoulder with the carrying strap but heavy-duty enough to weld all day at 180 amps (40% duty cycle). Switching to TIG? No problem. The machine features Lift-Arc ignition and TIG Pulse capabilities for precise control on thinner materials. Stop fighting your equipment and start welding with the machine that adapts to you.
