Get compressed air from a DC power source—these piston compressors can run on a vehicle battery (not included) for use on trucks and heavy equipment, or a DC generator.

12V DC compressors connect directly to a standard passenger vehicle battery. Use them to inflate tires, clean filters, and operate light-duty tools, such as nailers, hammers, and small impact wrenches. For best results with a vehicle battery, use a deep-cycle, large-cell battery rated for continuous use.

24V DC compressors connect directly to a commercial or construction vehicle battery. Use them to power heavy equipment, such as refrigerators or freezers for sensitive equipment—they have two built-in fans that keep them cool when run continuously.

Connector assemblies come with a three-foot hose and a connector that can be fixed to a panel or frame for operating compressors installed in difficult-to-reach locations, such as under a vehicle.

As quiet as an idling forklift, these rotary screw compressors make less noise than traditional piston compressors but deliver the same power. They turn on when tank pressure drops to the actuation point and off when it reaches the maximum. Use them for manufacturing, processing, and packaging jobs where steady output matters—you can run them continuously. If you plan to run them continuously, use SAE 20 synthetic oil (sold separately) to maintain performance and efficiency.

Designed with occasional use in mind. These two-stage compressors deliver the same high pressures and flow rates as standard models, but their undersized motor must work twice as hard. They run hotter, louder, and are less durable than more expensive two-stage compressors.

These air compressors turn on when tank pressure drops to the activation point and shut off when it reaches maximum pressure. They can run continuously without needing a cooling period. Use SAE 30 synthetic oil (sold separately) to maintain performance and efficiency.

Pressurize air to power drills, wrenches, and grinders. Because they’re single-stage, these compressors are best for infrequent use. They turn on when tank pressure drops to the actuation point and shut off when it reaches maximum pressure. Hardwire them to your power source. Choose a compressor with a tank size that matches your application. The larger the tank, the more tools it can power. A greater reserve of air means the compressor can run less often, which keeps it cool and improves energy efficiency for a longer life.

Compressors for intermittent duty require a cooling period between uses so they don’t overheat.

Compressors for continuous duty can run without a cooling period. They’re designed for applications that require a constant supply of compressed air.

Note: Pair air compressors with the listed oil (sold separately) to extend their service life.

Power equipment with built-in moisture control—these air compressors have a built-in aftercooler that cools down air leaving the compressor to remove condensation. This helps relieve the strain on your separator and dryer down the line. These compressors are useful for air-powered tools, where corrosion can clog air lines, and for control systems, where moisture can disrupt signals.

These compressors use pistons to pressurize air in two stages—compressing air, cooling it, and then compressing it again. This two-step process reduces wear, limits heat buildup, and improves overall efficiency. The integrated aftercooler cools the air as it exits the compressor, condensing any remaining moisture so it can be drained before it causes an issue. The automatic drain clears the condensate from the tank to keep everything running smoothly—especially important in high-moisture lines.

These compressors turn on when tank pressure drops to the actuation point and shut off when it reaches maximum pressure. They can run continuously without a cooling period. If you plan to run them continuously, use SAE 30 synthetic oil (sold separately) to maintain performance and efficiency.

Compressors turn on when the tank falls to the actuation pressure and they turn off when the tank reaches the maximum pressure.

Compressors that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to product regulations.

Power pneumatic tools in the shop or out in the field. Compact and lightweight, these air compressors are easy to carry and store out of the way when not in use. Plus, their rechargeable battery and charger work with other tools in your lineup. They automatically kick on when their tank pressure drops to the actuation point, then turn off when it reaches the maximum.

Makita compressors cannot be sold outside the United States due to product restrictions.
