Mannesmann Demag – other models: the collective page of towable construction compressors outside the SC and SD ranges, 720 to 2,380 kg unladen, 850 to 2,500 kg gross weight, up to 1,800 mm wide
This page gathers the Mannesmann Demag towable construction compressors the register could not assign to a named range. These are compressor units on a single-axle chassis, towed onto building sites to power pneumatic tools such as breakers, sandblasting equipment, nail guns or concrete vibrators. The type names follow the pattern SC or SD with a number for the size – SC 30, SC 40 and SC 50, and SD 28 – plus suffixes such as DS, AFP or DS-2 for equipment and drive variants of the same base type.

The register lists here 20 versions with unladen weights from 720 to 2,380 kg, gross vehicle weights from 850 to 2,500 kg and widths from 1,400 to 1,800 mm.
Towable construction compressors of this kind covered the need of building firms, civil engineering contractors and plant hire companies for mobile compressed air where no fixed compressor room was available. The trailer format allowed towing behind ordinary site vehicles and quick moves between locations, while the larger units of the SC 50 and SD 28 range tended to stay longer on one section of a site.
Buying used, the condition of chassis, axle, tyres and the overrun brake matter as much as the running hours and service state of the compressor unit itself; valves, filters, coolers and hose connections are the typical wear parts. Parts for the compressed-air technology now mostly run through independent compressor workshops, and chassis, axle and lighting parts through the general trailer parts trade.

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.
