Buying guide

How to choose a portable diesel air compressor

Portable diesel compressors bring compressed air to construction sites, quarries, drilling rigs, pipelines and rental fleets where there is no mains power. Choosing the right one comes down to the flow and pressure your tools need, the site conditions and how the unit will be moved.

Match the compressor to the job

ApplicationWhat matters most
Breakers, rock drills, general site toolsEnough flow for all tools running together, standard working pressure
Sandblasting and abrasive workHigh flow at steady pressure, plus aftercooling and filtration
Drilling, well work, pipeline testingHigher pressure ratings and large flow
Service trucks and fleetsCompact size, combined air, power and welding

Examples: the Sullivan Palatek D185 and Atlas Copco X-AIR 185 towable units, the larger X-AIR 375, and the VMAC Kubota 6-in-1 system for service trucks.

Site and transport

Engine emission requirements, altitude and very high or low ambient temperatures affect which model fits. Tell us how the unit will be transported (towed, skid mounted or truck mounted) and whether it needs to meet a specific emission standard in your country.

Frequently asked questions

How do I size a portable compressor for my tools?
Add up the air consumption of the tools that run at the same time and allow a margin for hose losses and wear. Send us your tool list and we will size it.

Diesel or gas powered?
Diesel suits larger flows and long running hours. For smaller duties see gas driven compressors.
