Our air compressor range runs from small 18L units for topping up tyres and running a nail gun through to 100L and 150L workshop compressors for panel tools and continuous air demand. It suits home workshops, garages, panel shops and trade sites across Cape Town and further afield, with pricing to suit both occasional use and daily production work.
Choosing an air compressor
Tank size should match how long you run tools for: a small tank refills often but suits intermittent jobs like inflating and light nailing, while a 100L or 150L tank holds enough air for spray guns, sanders and impact tools without the motor cycling constantly. Check the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating against your tool's air demand, and look at the duty cycle if you'll be running air tools continuously rather than in short bursts. Oil-lubricated pumps generally last longer under heavy use, while oil-free units need less maintenance and suit lighter, occasional jobs. Direct drive compressors are compact and simple, whereas belt-driven models run cooler and quieter over long sessions, which matters if the compressor lives in an occupied workspace.
