CompAir – further models: mobile site compressors of the C and DLT series, gross weights from 865 to 3,500 kg, widths from 1.25 to 1.97 metres
CompAir is an originally British manufacturer of compressed air equipment whose roots go back to compressor builders including Broomwade and Holman – a heritage still visible in the register in the model name Holman 37. This collective page covers the mobile site compressors mounted on their own trailer chassis outside the named series, from the smaller C types with output designations such as C 35 or C 55 up to the larger DLT models built for continuous use on construction sites. The number in the C-series name usually corresponds to the air delivery rate in cubic metres per minute.

The register lists 44 versions with gross weights from 865 to 3,500 kilograms, unladen weights from 750 to 3,500 kilograms and widths from 1.25 to 1.97 metres and lengths from 3.65 to 5.49 metres. The narrow build clearly distinguishes these compressor trailers from wider utility trailers built for cargo, since the width here is dictated by the compressor block itself.
Mobile compressors of this kind are standard equipment for construction and civil engineering firms and plant hire companies, for example to power breakers, sandblasting equipment or hammer drills that need an external air supply. CompAir competes in this market segment with suppliers such as Atlas Copco, Kaeser and Ingersoll Rand.
When buying used, what matters most on these compressor trailers is the running hours and maintenance condition of the compressor block and the condition of the diesel engine where the unit is diesel-powered. Add to that the usual checks of the axle, overrun brake and drawbar of the trailer chassis, and a look for leaks in the compressed air hoses and coolers.

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.
