Atlas Copco puts its portable air compressors through the ultimate four-stage toughness test

Robustness of design

Famous for their toughness and durability, Atlas Copco portable air compressors are engineered to take demanding environments in their stride. But don’t just take our word for it: in an all-new video series, watch as one of these tough units has its mettle tested against four separate – and equally gruelling – boot camp challenges.

First up in the four-part test series: how does an Atlas Copco portable air compressor’s robust design fare against being pummelled with a 600-kg avalanche of rocks, raining down from a height of 4 m? Click on the video below to find out:

Brace yourselves for another chapter in Atlas Copco's toughness video series. Now, we're putting our portable air compressor’s smart, innovative design and materials through the ultimate water endurance test. As part of Atlas Copco’s commitment to trusted quality, we invite you to join us in a quest to discover what makes our machines worthy of their tough status – come rain or shine.

Now, in the second instalment, we're diving deep. How does an Atlas Copco portable air compressor, famed for its robust design, cope against 500 l of salted sea water? Will the saltwater prove to be a formidable adversary, or will the compressor’s corrosion-proof hood emerge from the briny depths unscathed? Only one way to find out!

Dusty environments

So far, Atlas Copco's portable air compressors have shown themselves worthy of their reputation for toughness. But now, the stakes are high, and the sands of fate are shifting.

It’s time for one particular unit to prove its true grit against the relentless descent of 1 t of sand, where dust concentration reaches a stifling 65.0.

Cold temperatures

Atlas Copco’s portable air compressors have survived a rock avalanche, emerged unscathed from Poseidon’s salty deluge, and survived the dusty embrace of the Sandman himself. What else could these brave units possibly be faced with?

It’s all about to see a portable air compressor’s notoriously robust design and top-quality materials tested against the deep freeze of the great outdoors; after being buried in 250 kg of snow, and where temperatures drop to a bone-chilling -25°C. Will it be snowed under, or will it prove itself the toughest of the tough?

Atlas Copco's portable air compressors and tools are designed for toughness. They are designed, tried, tested and built to deliver the most sustainable solutions for every tough application in every industry.
