Introduction to Portable Compressors

Portable compressors are the solution to your portable air needs. Portable compressors are designed with the slowest drive speed possible to deliver more efficient compressed air for the same drive power.

Small machines have one or two tanks and a capacity of between 4 gal. That’s enough for nail guns, but not enough to run a pneumatic sander or a spray gun.

Portable compressors are known to have a frame comprising a base to protect and support the compressor and on which the compression device, the storage unit and, between these two, a handle for transporting the compressor are fixed.

Portable compressors are superior to the ordinary tire air pump and inflate a standard tire (300psi) in minutes.

Portable compressors are ideal for light tasks while large, heavy compressors provide plenty of power for tackling tough, high-production jobs.

Portable compressors are relatively easy to transport from one location to another: you can wheel them into the back of a pickup truck and carry them to your next job.

Portable compressors are suitable for dental, medical & industrial applications. Dry air systems, purification & industrial process chillers are also available.

Portable compressors are typically used to inflate tires, air springs, and toys, but can also be used to portably pressurize other air receptacles. With portable air compressors ranging in maximum working pressure from 100 psi to 150 psi and maximum cfm ratings ranging from 1. 00 cfm, there is a viair portable compressor to suit virtually every need.

Portable compressors are light and handy, and clamp right on to any vehicle battery. Equip your vehicle with an air compressor from auto accessories garage and you’ll be ready for anything.




Portable compressors are relatively inexpensive and any of these will power a finish nailer. Portable compressors are cheaper but we are still talking in the thousands of dollars. But how great would it be to own your own scuba compressor? no need to wait for the dive shop to open or wait in line.
