Air Compressor Rental

Where Do You Need It?


Air Compressor Rental Guide

An air compressor is a widely utilized machine. Air compressors are often found on construction sites and are used to power air equipment such as hammers, drills, nail guns, and staplers. Larger air compressors also have important uses in industrial applications. To make your air compressor rental decision easier, equipmentrentalpros.com gives you an overview of the different types of air compressors, common air compressor brands, and the average air compressor rental rates.

Types of Air Compressors

Two types of air compressors are commonly available for rent. The smaller of the two is the portable air compressor—this size is just right for residential construction projects. For larger jobs, the powerful towable air compressor is the best choice.

  • Portable Air Compressors - Portable air compressors are wheeled units that are light enough for an individual to move around on their own. This type of air compressor is hauled between locations in the bed of a pickup truck or inside a trailer. Some units are small enough to fit in the trunk of a car. Portable air compressors have a 5 CFM to 25 CFM capacity.
  • Towable Air Compressors - Towable air compressors are much larger than the portable variety. This type of air compressor must be towed via the hitch on a vehicle. A single person can usually adjust the position of a smaller towable compressor once it has been unhitched, but the larger units are so heavy that they have to be hauled into place. Towable air compressors have a 60 CFM to 1800 CFM capacity.

Air Compressor Rental Rates

The benefit of renting an air compressor as opposed to buying one is that you can acquire the correct type of air compressor for each job. Additionally, when you rent, there is no need to worry about routine maintenance or addressing broken parts as the compressors are regularly serviced. Air compressors are rented by the day, week, or month. Rental rates increase with the size of the compressor, as well as the length of rental.
