Exclusivas Rodriguez Espinosa SL, a rental company in Spain, selected Atlas Copco’s 8 series compressor range for its reliability, serviceability, and unique features like the HardHat canopy. A compressor, packed with extras; all under 750 kg.

Exclusivas Rodriguez Espinosa SL is a rental company located in Cadiz, Spain.  Their business focusses on nearby refineries that require compressed air to clean tanks.  When they were looking for a replacement of their XAS 77 compressor fleet, Atlas Copco introduced their new 8 Series compressor range.  This range of small air compressors is reliable, quick to service and features the unique HardHat canopy.  In addition, all units weigh below 750 kg, towable without the need of a special driving license.

If you need compressed air, we’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a rental company, that is our promise to our customers. In order to comply with their requirements, we need a fleet of air compressors that are reliable, quick to service and easy to transport. When we wanted to update our fleet of XAS 77 compressors after 12 years of service, it was clear Atlas Copco has not stopped innovating. The new 8 series XAS 88 compressor complied with all our requirements and went even beyond.
