Used Breathing Air Compressors

Current HP Breathing Air Ccompressor
&
Used Breathing Air Storage Cylinder Inventory

List Updated 5/6/2013

Used breathing air compressors, used HP compressors, used air compressors and used SCUBA compressors are available from American Airworks. We receive used air compressors, mostly from fire departments, that have upgraded to newer larger units. Historically fire departments use their compressors very little and see regular preventative maintenance. Our used high pressure compressor inventory consists of Bauer compressors, Mako compressors, Eagle compressors, Scott compressors and occassionally Airworks compressors. Most of these high pressure compressors were in fire departments prior to being replaced with new compressors.

We also buy used compressors from fire departments. Email us your department's compressor pictures, hours on unit, electrical specifications and purification specifications. Usually, found on a metal plate on the chassis. We'll get back to you with an offer to purchase if it meets our requirements and needs.

Rental HP breathing air compressors for providing CGA grade E breathing air for human consumption or other uses. We offer some 5000 PSI rental air compressors, with various flow rates of 9 to 25 CFM output. We have HP rental compressors powered by electric and diesel motors.

How we test our used compressors prior to reselling them.

We run all our used compressors for 4-40+ hours, and sometimes much longer when we need to fill large air cylinders, prior to shipping and make any repairs needed for proper compressor operation. Cylinder valves are inspected and replaced when needed, purifications towers are internally and externally inspected for pitting and cracks, oil is changed with fresh synthetic oil and new replacement filters are installed.

Don't see a compressor to meet your needs, email us with a description of the compressor you are looking for. We have a nationwide network of compressor dealers we can email to find a used compressor that will work for you.
