Top 100: Easy-to-Access Service Points

Sept. 28, 2010

No need to remove the canopy to access service points on AirSource compressors from Ingersoll Rand. The corrosion-resistant canopy opens 90 degrees for servicing. At 1,850 pounds, the unit has a low center of gravity, is stable when towed, and allows two-tool use. The remote spin-on separator element eliminates the need to enter the separator tank and prevents spillage during oil changes. By moving the toolbox from the wheel side to the rear, near the canopy opening and service valves, users no longer have to strain to store or remove a tool. Estimated list price: $15,000 to $17,000.
