Tow Behind Air Compressor
Tow-behind air compressors are categorized by their air delivery volume, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), which determines the scale of pneumatic tools they can support on a jobsite. Most professional rental units utilize diesel-powered rotary screw air-ends designed for 100% continuous duty, ensuring a steady flow of pressurized air for industrial applications. These units are typically mounted on high-speed towable chassis with DOT-approved lighting and leaf-spring suspension for safe transport between locations.
90 CFM Tow-Behind Compressors
The 90 CFM models are engineered for utility work and smaller construction tasks where a compact footprint is required. These units provide enough volume to operate a single 90 lb pavement breaker or two smaller chipping hammers simultaneously at a consistent 100 PSI. They are often preferred for their fuel efficiency and ease of maneuverability in tight residential or urban environments.
185 CFM Tow-Behind Compressors
The 185 CFM range is the industry standard for general construction and is versatile enough to power two heavy-duty 90 lb breakers or multiple smaller pneumatic tools. These compressors are commonly used for sandblasting, irrigation blowouts, and powering large-scale air tools on highway and bridge projects. Most units in this class feature large-capacity fuel tanks to support full-day operation without refueling and high-performance cooling systems to prevent overheating in extreme conditions.
375 CFM Tow-Behind Compressors
Designed for high-demand industrial applications, 375 CFM compressors provide the massive air volume required for large-scale sandblasting, heavy-duty rock drilling, and powering large pneumatic industrial machinery. These high-output units are equipped with more powerful Tier 4 Final diesel engines and advanced control panels that monitor system performance and safety parameters. They are built with rugged, heavy-gauge steel enclosures to withstand the rigors of mining, oil and gas, and major infrastructure job sites.
