Air compressors for construction, industrial, agricultural, and landscaping applications demand unique specifications and power. Size helps determine whether this equipment is appropriate and helpful for your industry or space, but the air compressor’s potency and ability depend on more than size alone.
Knowing some important factors and key terms will help you decide which air compressor to rent for your application.
PSI and CFM describe air compressor systems in ways that are much more helpful than assessing based on size alone. Many companies focus on making their equipment as light and mobile as possible without sacrificing their power, yet others create much larger air compressors of lesser potency.
In assessing a potential rental, look at how much air it delivers in CFM. To do this, find the manufacturer’s specifications for the model needing the air pressure. (You can usually locate them online through the manufacturer or related sites.) Most air compressors meant to power tools fall into the 30 to 140 CFM range. For industrial applications, a higher CFM is most often required.
An industrial-grade air compressor for business, professional, construction, and other demanding jobs come with the most power to fit its great demands. Manufacturers equip their air compressors with impressive features that create greater horsepower, CFM, PSI, and runtimes. Even with all this power, some remain portable while others are stationary units with great capacity. These fixed units also often come with ASME-certified air tanks and a much faster recovery time when running many different air tools for an extended time.
Depending on your usage, there are other important air compressor considerations to make. These factors could impact the ability of your rented equipment to fulfill your purpose:
A larger fuel tank may be needed in areas where fuel is not readily available and the demands of the job are steep. For the most part, industrial air compressors run on diesel, but you will want to check that the fuel type will not complicate your application. In addition, with multiple job sites and projects, you will want to ensure you can transport or tow the equipment with an efficient standard of ease.
