Mobile air compressors guide

Everything you need to know about mobile air compressors: available technologies, how to select the best mobile air compressor for your application, how connectivity and controllers boost fleet management and efficiency, and much more.

Which mobile compressor do I need?

Atlas Copco’s mobile compressors are icons in the industry. And they have every right to be: we’ve been building portable compressors for a century and you’ll find our equipment in all corners of the world, in all possible industries. We’ll tell you exactly what to look out for when choosing a new portable compressor.

The right portable compressor for your application

Whatever your application or compressed air requirement there’s a mobile compressor to match. Some deliver compressed air to the construction industry for sandblasting, shotcreting or demolition. Others are built into utility trucks or drive large drill rigs. Compressors are even used in agriculture, the energy sector and of course by rental companies. From oil and gas projects out at the open sea, to drilling applications high up in the mountains: compressed air is everywhere.

Choosing the best compressor technology depends on your exact application, the level of flexibility you need and the circumstances in which your equipment runs. Having a hard time figuring it all out? We have your back: browse this product guide to learn everything you need to know. Read our service tips. Or simply contact one of our colleagues close to you for made-to-measure advice.

1. Total cost of ownership

The cost of compressed air goes beyond your initial investment. In fact, most of your money will go to fuel or electricity to run your portable compressor. Read more on how you can get a fast return on investment.

2. Mobile compressor applications

A compressor, that’s a matter of pressure and flow. Choosing a mobile compressor also depends on what you want to use it for: the applications, the mode of transport and the ambient conditions. Find out what kind of solution is right for you.

3. Fuel technology

Diesel or electric: that’s the question. In a world that’s heating up, emission standards become increasingly stringent. You can keep up with these regulations by upgrading your diesel engine with every new purchase. But you can also just go electric. Read more about our fuel technology and find out whether an electric portable compressor could be the right solution for you.
