Compressors for all weather conditions
Air compressors
Find an on-board air compressor that meets your specific needs – be it dealing with searing heat or freezing temperatures.
Cold: Specially designed compressor oils – particularly synthetic brands – help with performance and reduce maintenance problems.
Hot: System temperature probes ensure hydraulic and compressor fluid temperatures don't exceed limits. Light-colored and lightweight panels reflect heat. Air-liquid cooling through a dual-core cooler with a dedicated electric fan helps prevent temperature excesses.
Rain: Look for plated or stainless steel fasteners, aluminum housings and other fully powder-coated steel. Weatherproofed electrical connec- tions, O-rings, special weather packs and an air-tight system also reduce maintenance needs.
