Used Breathing Air Compressors

CURRENT COMPRESSOR INVENTORY

List Updated 1/25/2012

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.

How really test our used compressors prior to reselling them.

We run all our used compressors for 4-40 hours prior to shipping and make any repairs needed for proper operation. Cylinder valves are inspected and replaced, when needed, purifications towers are internally inspected for pitting and cracks, oil is changed with fresh synthetic oil and new replacement filters are installed.
