Air Compressors

Air compressors are devices used to provide efficient power to construction tools and machinery. Air compressors can be operated by internal combustion engines and their ability to pressurize air enables power to be transmitted via pipes or hoses.

Air compressors are commonly used for transmitting power to rock drills, jackhammers, air motors, pumps, and many more types of construction equipment. The use of compressors enable workers to bore holes, cut materials, crush rock, pour vibrated concrete, and are constantly used in countless other construction applications.

Atlas Copco is one of the most successful air compressor manufacturers; the company began producing air compressors as well as other pneumatic-driven tools and machinery.

Compressors can come in many different types with select features. They can be either stationary or portable. Stationary compressors are best used for applications that endure long periods from a fixed site, whereas portable ones are used on sites where there is constant movement.

Portable compressors are made so with the use of rubber tires, steel wheels or skids and are powered by gas or diesel engines. The most common type of portable compressor used for construction projects is the rotary screw compressor.
