Towable Compressors.

GO Industrial stocks diesel and electric towable compressors for construction, mining, sandblasting and industrial air supply. Trailer-mounted for site-to-site mobility, these units deliver 80-400+ CFM at working pressures from 100 to 200 PSI. Brands include Airman, CAPS and Denyo. All units are road-registerable and supplied with manufacturer warranty.

FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • How much CFM do I need?

    Match CFM to the heaviest air-tool job. Single jackhammer 80-120 CFM. Two jackhammers 175-200 CFM. Sandblasting at 100 PSI through #5 nozzle 80-100 CFM. Multi-tool civil 250-400 CFM. Undersize and pressure drops below tool spec; oversize burns fuel.

  • Diesel-engine why?

    Diesel for fuel economy at continuous load and longer service life vs petrol. Tier 4 emissions compliance standard on AU-imported new. Service interval 250-500 hours. Compressor element rotary screw oil-flooded for continuous duty.

  • Towable trailer compliance?

    Single-axle braked trailer unit ADR-compliant for AU road tow. Light vehicle tow rating - check the vehicle tow capacity before specifying. Heavier compressors (300-400 CFM) need a tow vehicle rated above standard ute capacity.

  • Service intervals?

    Engine oil + filter every 250 hours. Air filter every 500 hours. Compressor oil every 500-1,000 hours. Air-end inspection every 2,000 hours. Skipping compressor oil change is the most common cause of premature air-end failure - cost of failure is far higher than service.

  • Can I use a towable compressor for sandblasting?

    Yes, provided the compressor delivers sufficient CFM and pressure for the blast nozzle size. A No. 6 nozzle (3/8") requires approximately 142 CFM at 100 PSI; a No. 8 nozzle (1/2") requires approximately 254 CFM. The compressor must also have an aftercooler and moisture separator to deliver dry air — wet air causes media clumping and flash rust on the blasted surface.

Towable Diesel Air Compressors

14 towable diesel-engine air compressors for construction, mining, civil and road work where high-volume air supply is needed at remote site without three-phase power. Atlas Copco + Aussie Pumps tier covering 80 to 400 CFM at 100-150 PSI. Diesel-engine drive, single-axle braked trailer unit, integrated fuel tank for 8-16 hour run time.

CFM sizing. Match CFM to the air-tool consumption of the heaviest job. Single jackhammer: 80-120 CFM. Two jackhammers: 175-200 CFM. Sandblasting at 100 PSI through a #5 nozzle: 80-100 CFM. Multi-tool civil: 250-400 CFM. Undersize and the air pressure drops below tool spec; oversize and you burn fuel for no gain.

Diesel-engine drive. Towable compressors are diesel-engine driven for fuel economy at continuous load and longer service life vs petrol. Tier 4 emissions compliance is standard on AU-imported new units. Service interval 250-500 hours. Compressor element is rotary screw (oil-flooded) for continuous duty.
