Whether you need large air compressor units or small, there are air compressor suppliers who can get you exactly what you need. Many distributors of air compressors offer a complete line of products, while some offer specialty compressors. Some industrial air compressor distributors even build to your custom specifications.

Before you contact distributors of compressors, decide which type of compressor you need. Air compressors make air in one of two ways: either the compressor uses a piston and crank system to force air into the holding tank, or it uses rotary screws to generate the compressed air.

Compressor distributors usually carry both types. Depending on the type of air compression system you choose and the number of units you need, consider these qualities in an air compressor distributor:

1. The air compressor supplier should not only have the air compressors in stock, but also the fittings and accessories.

2. The distributor of air compressors should offer to set up and install their product.

3. The air compressor distributors should offer a long-term warranty and service after the sale.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find air compressor distributors that can set up floor-mounted compressors in your factory


Whether you choose a rotary screw system or a reciprocating system, you are sure to find just the right compressor distributor for the task. Look for a compressor distributor who is willing to guide you through the design and setup process in your factory or shop. Since the floor-mounted air compressor is a component of your factory's design, it should be conveniently located so all personnel who use it can access it easily.

I recommend: Aerzen USA Corp. offers a large selection of floor-mounted air compressors in both rotary screw and reciprocating models. Cameron also offers a large selection of units.

Buy from distributors of air compressors that offer portable air compression units for sale


Whether you need a hand-held portable air compressor or a wheeled unit, industrial air compressor distributors offer a number of models for sale. Be sure you know what size you need. Too much compression is a wasted expense, but too little compression won't get the job done right.

I recommend: Check out the portable units offered by Southern Tool. Devair also has a line of portable air compressors.

Work with air compressor suppliers to design a system that's right for you


While compressor distributors typically have stock air compressors on hand, many distributors of air compressors are willing to go the extra mile to help you design your own system.

I recommend: Curtis-Toledo, Inc. and Gardner Denver are industry leading compressor wholesalers, especially when it comes to rotary screw systems. If they don’t have the air compression system you need in stock, ask them about a custom design.
