Air Compressors For Municipal & Utilities Infrastructure

Several types of air compressors for municipal and utility fleets are available, varying in size, weight, power source, and CFM output. Many fleets have relied on tow-behind air compressors for decades, but there are better air compressors on the market today. For example, vehicle mounted air compressors provide higher mobility, are significantly smaller and lighter, and free up the vehicle’s hitch.

Vehicle mounted air compressors are available in both deck mounted and vehicle integrated options, allowing you to choose the best systems for your municipal or utility fleet. Deck mounted air compressors are typically available in gas, diesel, and hydraulic models, while vehicle integrated compressors utilize existing engine or PTO power sources.

Rotary screw air compressors are ideal for municipal and utility work because they operate at 100% duty cycle, resulting in a more compact and powerful compressed air solution. Therefore, a rotary screw air compressor that is vehicle mounted or integrated is the optimal choice for utilities and municipal maintenance work.

“Now that the UNDERHOOD^® air compressor is with the truck, it is ready to use whenever there is a need for compressed air on the job site. There’s no lost time traveling back to the yard to get a compressor, and we don’t have to tow a trailer.”
