Lightweight three-tool compressor from Atlas Copco

The new XAS 87 Kd compressor from Atlas Copco has enough power to drive three tools, but is light enough to be towed by a small car.

At 750kg, the trailer-mounted compressor does not require any special driving licence, but provides 5m³/min (83-l/s) of free air at 7bar, giving it the capacity to power three tools simultaneously. Noise emissions are limited to 98 dB(A) and the compressor comes with a standard 'compact' steel or HardHat canopy and a 40-litre fuel tank for a full eight-hour shift.
