Portable high-output air for demanding worksites

When you need serious airflow in remote or off-grid locations, a diesel air compressor is the tool for the job. Built for endurance and mobility, diesel units are relied on across mining, civil construction, mobile service vehicles, and heavy industrial maintenance.

Air & Power supplies and services high-performance diesel air compressors across WA, backed by over 35 years of technical field support. We work with leading brands including Pilot Air, whose diesel compressors are built for Australian conditions.

Pilot Air diesel compressor range

Pilot Air offers a range of portable diesel-powered air compressors suitable for:

High-demand air tools
Remote-site operations
Civil and agricultural maintenance
Service vehicles and mobile workshops

Models in this range feature:

Heavy-duty cast iron pumps
Electric start diesel engines
AS1210-certified pressure vessels
Australian-built steel frames

Air delivery varies by model. For example, Pilot Air’s diesel-powered K-series includes options capable of delivering over 800 L/min (approx. 28 CFM) free air delivery, more than enough for most field applications (K50SI).

These compressors are designed for easy mounting to trailers, utes, or mobile rigs. Compact and self-contained, they’re ideal when mains power or generators aren’t practical.

Why diesel?

Diesel compressors are chosen for:

Fuel compatibility with diesel fleets
Longer run times and better fuel economy under load
High airflow capacity for tools requiring continuous output
Reduced spark risk, making them safer for hazardous areas
Customisable to meet mine site specifications

They’re best suited to worksites where high-volume compressed air is needed for extended periods, especially where petrol is restricted or insufficient.

If you’re running a full set of air tools, tyre service gear, or spray equipment in the field, a diesel unit will handle the load reliably.

Service and support across WA

All diesel compressors require regular maintenance, especially in WA’s dusty and high-temperature environments. Air & Power offers full support for every unit we supply, including:

Preventative servicing based on duty cycles
