COMPRESSED AIR
4. KEEP EMISSIONS AND NOISE IN CHECK In today’s regulatory environment, emissions and noise levels are crucial considerations. Adhering to emission standards and noise restrictions is essential, especially in urban or eco-sensitive zones. If your worksite is subject to strict environmental regulations, consider electric or battery-driven portable air compressors. These models produce no localized emissions and are much quieter than diesel-powered units.
Noise pollution is another significant
consideration, especially in residential areas or other noise-sensitive environments. Compressors with noise-reduction features, such as soundproofing or low-noise operation modes, can help you comply with local noise ordinances and create a safer, more comfortable work environment for operators and nearby residents.
5. CONSIDER TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY
One of the main advantages of portable air compressors is their mobility, but how they are transported and how often they are moved can influence your choice. Will you be lifting it onto
trucks regularly? Then you’ll want a model with a central balanced lifting beam. Will you be moving it often on the road? Then a robust, reliable towing bar is needed – both essential to prevent accidents and ensure safe handling. The portable air compressor’s dimensions and
weight are also important considerations, especially if you need to transport multiple units. Lighter, compact models reduce costs and are
easier to maneuver. If towing, check local legal requirements — like in Europe, where compressors under 750 kg can be towed without a special license, making them ideal for frequent moves, convenient for rental companies
6. ENSURE RELIABLE SERVICE AND SUPPORT Even the best portable air compressors require maintenance, so the availability and quality of the service network are crucial to ensuring that your mobile air compressor remains operational with minimal downtime, and for maintaining productivity. Opt for a brand that offers extensive service coverage and quick response times. Access to certified technicians and genuine parts can make all the difference in repairs and maintenance, ensuring your operations continue smoothly with minimal interruptions. If your business operates in multiple locations or remote areas, choose a compressor brand with a service network that has wide geographic coverage to guarantee timely and effective support; no matter where your job site is located.
