Determining whether you want a gas air compressor or an electric air compressor is one key choice in selecting an air compressor. This decision depends on your specifics needs, requirements, and application.
Gas-powered compressors are the best, if not
the only option on sites where a lot of air is needed and there is no
electricity. During the framing phase of new construction, this is seen most
often.
Usually, these compressors are wheeled for
portability because of the extra weight of the gas engines and the bigger pumps.
They weigh from 120 to 200 pounds. Unless there is a lift gate or ramp, it will
likely take two people to safely load and offload the compressor onto the truck
at this weight.
This article will explain the differences
between gas and electric compressors as well as what each is better suited to.
