DEWALT has expanded its contractor line of portable air compressors
by adding 12 new Dewalt air compressors for
2002.
DEWALT now has 18 different compressors featuring electric
or gasoline-powered Honda OHV GX engines with a range of air
tank sizes and air performance levels. There are six hand-carry
air compressor models and 12 with a portable wheelbarrow-style
design. Some of the new models have dual-voltage capability
to use either 120-volt or 240-volt power. A dual-control feature
has also been added, allowing some of the compressors to operate
in either a start/stop or constant run mode.
For maximum durability, DEWALT’s air compressors have
oil-lubricated cast iron pumps. The company uses quick-drain
ball valves on its air tanks for easy and thorough draining.
Other improvements for the pneumatic compressors include the
use of protected gauges and heavy-duty components to withstand
the elements of a typical worksite.
DEWALT began developing its own line of air compressors with
the expertise of Emglo Air Compressors, the industry leader
in portable air compressors for professional contractors.
Emglo started making air compressors in 1957. DEWALT acquired
Emglo in 2000 and has joined resources to initiate a strong
presence in the portable air compressor market. As a result,
the yellow-and-black DEWALT Emglo Compressors combine user-focused
innovation with proven air compressor technology and worksite
durability.
