Atlas Copco trailers up to 3.5 t (Class O2) – towable XAS-range construction compressors on trailer chassis, 530 to 3,144 kg unladen weight, up to 3,500 kg gross weight, widths up to 2.30 m
This page gathers Class O2 trailers (trailers up to 3.5 t gross weight) on whose chassis Atlas Copco fits towable construction-site compressors and generators. Atlas Copco traces back to a company founded in Stockholm in 1873 that initially built railway equipment and over the 20th century grew into one of the world's leading suppliers of compressed-air technology; since the 2018 split, the mining and rock-excavation business has belonged to sister brand Epiroc, while the towable construction compressors remain in the compressed-air technology division. The model designation XAS followed by a number denotes the free-air delivery, suffixes such as DD mark chassis and equipment variants of the given range; a consistent scheme valid across decades can no longer be reliably reconstructed from the older type designations in the register.

The register lists here 197 versions with unladen weights from 530 to 3,144 kg and gross weights from 800 to 3,500 kg. Lengths are recorded for only 24 of the models and range from 2,340 to 6,400 mm, widths from 1,100 to 2,300 mm.
Towable compressors of this kind serve on building sites, in road building and in civil engineering for pneumatic breakers, sandblasting gear or hammer drills; Atlas Copco competes directly with Kaeser, Ingersoll Rand and Wacker Neuson here, and the units mostly run through the rental fleets of construction firms and plant-hire companies rather than direct purchase.
On used units, what counts is the operating hours of the compressor unit, the condition of the diesel engine, oil level and filters, the state of drawbar, axle, brakes and overrun coupling, plus tyres and lighting; spare parts for compressor and chassis run through the Atlas Copco service network.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
