Having a fleet of his own in the past, our owner, Gary Parks, knows the struggles of owning and maintaining a truck, and the value of a dependable APU.

04. Expanding Goal
Without a goal, how do you know where to aim? Parks Industries LLC is always looking ahead and setting new goals to achieve. Since our first unit was sold, our goal has always been to be the best, and provide the best product for our very deserving customers. And through the guidance of their feedback, we have been able to not only improve our system, but to also exceed their expectations within it. So with each and every year, we have successfully made our product smaller, lighter, more fuel efficient, and more user friendly, perfecting our HP2000 APU one step at a time.
The first prototype was put into testing. It was huge at over 34” wide and consumed about 0.3 gallons of fuel per hour. At the time, it was still much less than the 1.1 gallons per hour that the truck would consume idling. It was powered by a one cylinder engine and was extremely loud.
The unit was reconfigured to a smaller cabinet and the HP15 was born. It contained a Perkins engine which reduced the fuel consumption down to 0.15 gph. The cabinet width was narrowed to 24” the engine noise was drastically reduced.
A new cabinet design, down to 21” width, and some internal component changes birthed the very first HP2000. This cabinet design with it’s signature diamond plate lid would turn out to be the first version to be recognized as a major player in the APU market.
With the change of the engine from the Perkins to an overhead cam, 2-Cyl. Kohler engine, the HP2000 K-Series was born. The K-Series now offered a 345 lb total weight and was only 69db, making it one of the lightest and quietest APU in today’s market.
The HP2000 Xtreme was the next in line, with a new, sleek cabinet design, larger lid for easier access of servicing, and a new weather strip to help prevent the elements from entering the cabinet. This new patent-pending design was also the first to offer an interior cabinet light, allowing the HP2000 Xtreme’s logo to illuminate through the cut out in the lid while operating.
Introducing the HP2000 Xtreme Slim! With a narrowed cabinet extending to just 18”, it allows for additional technology to be implemented and create a significant increase in BTU rating. With 20,000 BTUs in both heating and cooling, it’s the highest BTU rated APU on the market. It also comes with an automatic belt tensioner and the option of a stainless steel cabinet.
Following in the foot-print of the HP2000 Xtreme, the HP2000-3 Xtreme rolled out with a 3-Cyl. Perkins engine, while keeping the same, compact dimensions. Using a 3-Cyl. engine cuts noise level down and while also decreasing vibration. This unit came standard with a 120 volt alternator and a stainless steel cabinet.
The latest HP2000 Xtreme now comes packed with a new 2-Cyl. Kubota engine, using the same dimensions as its immediate predecessor, but now with a 60 amp alternator. Our newest APU is now even quieter at 65 dba, with the lowest amount of vibrations of all of our units, and the lightest weighting APU on the market coming in at only 310lbs installed.
Reaching perfection is not always easy, or done quickly. But with a few some new modifications and the re-introduction of the powerful 2-Cyl. Perkins engine, we have been able to increase our products quality and durability, while maintaining it’s light weight and compact size, and decreasing its maintenance cost.
With the 2-Cyl. Perkins proving to be the most sufficient, reliable, and capable engine in its class, it’s now the only engine to represent the 12V HP2000 APU. Topped with an updated heat pump system and top-of-the-line controller software, our system is more durable and user-friendly.
The durability of the 2-Cyl. Perkins engine continues to stay strong, and so does the overall performance and reliability of the HP2000 APU. It also now comes with an A/C Only option, for those who live/work in hotter temperatures, who already have a bunk heater, or for those who simply prefer the cold!
New Year, New Gear! Our standard unit now comes fully loaded with a 2-Cyl. Perkins Engine, Rotating LED Lights, and a durable Stainless Steel Cabinet, plus the option to customize your unit and have it Powder-Coated to just about any color of your choice; adding personalization with an extra layer of protection.
Seasons come and go, but the savings are endless! Our HP2000 APU now comes standard as an A/C Only Unit with new and improved A/C fittings to help maximum comfort during these dreadful summer months. Paired with our Planar Bunk Heaters for those cold winter nights, our APU is still the lightest, quietest, smallest, AND most affordable APU on the market.
