Ecoair – other models: the collective page of site compressors on a trailer chassis outside the named ranges with types E, F and T, 780 to 1,880 kg unladen weight, up to 2,000 kg gross weight
Ecoair builds construction-site compressors on their own trailer chassis; this page gathers the versions outside the named ranges. Type designations follow three letter series – E (E 31, E 38), F (F 30, F 42, F 50 D, F 58, F 78, F 105, some with a D or G suffix for equipment variants) and T (T 30) – with the number after the letter denoting the size within the series.

The register lists 19 versions here with unladen weights from 780 to 1,880 kg, permissible gross weights from 780 to 2,000 kg and widths from 1,280 to 1,840 mm.
As mobile compressor units for construction and road-building sites, the Ecoair trailers with gross weights up to 2,000 kg sit in a class that can still be towed behind typical site vehicles without extra requirements; the narrow widths up to 1,840 mm ease transport along tight site access roads.
For a used compressor trailer, the checklist covers the running hours and condition of the compressor unit, the tightness of the oil and compressed-air system, the condition of hoses and connections, and, as with any trailer, the overrun actuator, braking system and axle suspension for wear and corrosion. Spare parts for the compressor unit come from the manufacturer or specialist compressor dealers, with axles and the overrun actuator as generic AL-KO or Knott components.

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.
