Remote air compressor


Drillcorp has introduced Air-Cat, a self-propelled, track-mounted air compressor designed to overcome access problems on confined sites or where ground conditions make delivery difficult.
The radio remote-controlled unit has an Ingersoll-Rand compressor mounted on 300mm-wide crawler tracks. The 5t machine has a ground bearing pressure of 27kPa (under 4psi). Ground clearance is 488mm with a maximum travel speed of 3.7km/h and the machine can tackle gradients of up to 22o.
Power for the track hydraulics comes from the compressor's engine. Once in position, the compressor has a free air delivery of 11.3m3/min and a working pressure of 14bar.
The Air-Cat is available for hire or sale.
