50 Litre Direct Drive Compressor

50 Litre Direct Drive Compressor: a 2.5 horsepower compressor for a home garage.

Compressors from home garage units to rotary screw machines for busy workshops. Size a compressor by the air your tools actually use, measured in free air delivered rather than displacement, which is the larger number printed on the tank.

Delivery installation and use

Check your supply before ordering. Single phase machines run from a 230V supply but larger motors need a dedicated 16 or 32 amp circuit; three phase machines need a 400V supply. An electrician should make the final connection. Air receivers used at work fall under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations and need a written scheme of examination. We can supply one with a commercial compressor and carry out the periodic examinations. Everything we sell is used in our own workshop first. Orders placed before 2pm on a working day are dispatched the same day, trade customers get account pricing and thirty day terms, and returns are accepted within thirty days if the item is unused and in its packaging. If a tool fails in normal use within the warranty, we replace it rather than argue about it. We supply workshop equipment to independent garages, tyre and MOT centres, fleet workshops and home mechanics, and we install and service what we sell. We describe each machine by what it is built to do rather than by brochure numbers, and we will tell you if a cheaper machine suits your work better.

Which version to buy

Standard is the specification we recommend for most buyers. There is one version of this because it is the one we recommend.
