Compact Build

The new XAHS 107 and XAS 137 Atlas Copco Series 1 portable air compressors feature a significantly smaller canopy and single axle undercarriage. Rated to provide an actual free air delivery of 93 l/s (197 cfm) at 12 bar (175 psig) and 127 l/s (269 cfm) at 7 bar (102 psig) respectively, the new models closely follow the successful launch of Atlas Copco's mid-range XA (M, T, H, V) S 307- 407 featuring a similar concept with reduced canopy size. The units are capable of operating in all ambient temperature conditions from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and up to 2,500 m altitude, with a duty cycle of 80% of the operating time at full load of a wide variety of applications. Optional cold start aids are available to handle temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). www.atlascopco.com
