Mobile compressors
Mobile compressors for flexible use
A mobile compressor is a movable air compressor that is either wheeled or portable. Wheeled models are mounted on wheels, making it easy to move them to a different workplace. That's why this type is also called a wheeled compressor.
Mobile air compressors are practical for on-site work and for use in a service vehicle or van. Also, in spaces with multiple workplaces, you can easily move the compressor to where compressed air is needed.
Benefits of mobile compressors
A mobile compressor brings the compressed air close to the workplace. This allows you to work flexibly in garages, workshops, and at various job sites. A portable model offers extra convenience during transport, while a compressor on wheels is suitable for a larger air tank.
- Easy to move between workplaces
- Suitable for use on site
- Available with different tank capacities
- Choice of portable and wheeled models
- Suitable for various air tools
Wheeled compressor on wheels
A wheeled compressor on wheels is widely used in garages, workshops, service vehicles, and other locations where flexibility is desired. Two large, robust wheels make the air compressor easy to move.
The sturdy wheels are suitable for different surfaces, including smooth floors and grate floors. This way, you can easily take the mobile air compressor to the desired workplace.
Portable compressor with handle
A portable compressor has a compact size and a sturdy handle. This makes it easy to lift the air compressor and take it to a job.
This type of compressor is well-suited for tasks with limited air needs. Think of inflating tires, working with a dust gun, or using compact pneumatic tools.
Mobile compressor for air tools
A mobile compressor for air tools can be used with, among others, a tire inflator, nail gun, paint sprayer, impact wrench, dust gun, and pneumatic ratchet. The suitable applications depend on the working pressure and air output of the chosen model.
Check how many liters of compressed air per minute the tool uses. Compare this with the effective air output of the compressor. Extra capacity supports a steady air supply during longer tasks.
Buying a mobile compressor
When buying a mobile compressor, you have a choice of different types and sizes. A compact model with a small tank is lightweight and easy to move. This size fits well with tasks that have limited compressed air needs.
For tools that use more compressed air, CROP recommends a mobile compressor with a larger tank. The larger models are equipped with appropriate wheels, so these air compressors remain movable.
Choosing the right mobile compressor
When choosing, pay attention to the tank capacity, working pressure, and air output. Also consider the weight, dimensions, and how you want to transport the compressor.
For regular use in a service vehicle, a compact size can be practical. In a workshop, a wheeled compressor with a larger tank offers more compressed air for intensive tasks.
Tank capacity of mobile compressors
The tank capacity determines how much compressed air the compressor can store. A small tank makes the compressor compact and easy to transport. A large tank keeps more compressed air available for tools with a higher air need.
At NonPaints.com, you can buy mobile compressors with the following tank capacities:
- Mobile compressor 6 liters
- Mobile compressor 24 liters
- Mobile compressor 50 liters
- Mobile compressor 100 liters
Mobile compressor 6 liters
A mobile compressor of 6 liters has a compact size and is easy to carry. This version is suitable for short tasks, such as inflating tires, blowing clean, and working with small air tools.
The small tank makes this model practical for a service vehicle, caravan, garage, or job site.
Mobile compressor 24 liters
A mobile compressor of 24 liters combines a practical tank capacity with good mobility. The wheels and handle make it easy to move the air compressor through a workshop or garage.
This size is suitable for various tasks with pneumatic tools and offers a more extensive compressed air supply than a compact portable model.
Mobile compressor 50 liters
A mobile compressor of 50 liters provides a generous compressed air supply for professional air tools. This size fits tasks with a higher air need and longer duration of use.
Thanks to the wheels, the compressor remains movable, and you can easily bring it to the desired workplace.
Mobile compressor 100 liters
A mobile compressor of 100 liters combines a large tank capacity with a wheeled construction. This version is suitable for intensive professional use and pneumatic tools that require a lot of compressed air.
The spacious tank keeps a large amount of compressed air available. Sturdy wheels and a handle support moving within the workshop.
Mobile oil-free compressor
A mobile oil-free compressor delivers compressed air that is free of oil. This makes the compressor suitable for paint spraying, airbrushing, tire inflating, and other tasks where clean compressed air is desired.
The oil-free technology is low-maintenance. Use a suitable water separator when painting to filter moisture from the compressed air.
Mobile oil-lubricated compressor
A mobile oil-lubricated compressor is suitable for powerful pneumatic tools and intensive tasks. The oil supports the lubrication of the moving parts in the compressor.
Regularly check the oil level and refill the oil according to the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps the compressor in good condition.
Mobile quiet compressor
A mobile quiet compressor is suitable for tasks on site and in the vicinity of other people. The noise-dampened operation supports a pleasant working environment while you use the compressor flexibly.
Place the mobile air compressor on a stable surface. This limits vibrations and helps keep the noise level in dB(A) low. Quiet compressors, due to their sound-dampening properties, often fall into a higher price segment.
Safely moving a mobile compressor
Turn off the compressor and disconnect connected air hoses before moving the device. Use the available handle or grip and move the compressor calmly to the next workplace.
During use, place the mobile compressor on a flat and stable surface. Block the wheels when the model is equipped for this and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Maintaining a mobile compressor
Regular maintenance supports the performance and lifespan of a mobile compressor. Check the air filters, couplings, air hose, and condensate drain. Drain collected condensate according to the manual from the tank.
Keep the wheels and handles clean and regularly check that all fastenings are securely tightened. This keeps the air compressor easy and reliable to move.
