ABOUT
Q: What is a portable air tank used for?
A: Portable air tanks are air-compressing tools that allow users to carry a steady supply of air on the go. They’re smaller and lighter than traditional air compressors, so you don’t have to worry about dragging around large, heavy equipment. You can use these portable tanks for a variety of purposes, such as working while traveling, completing odd jobs, inflating sporting equipment, cleaning a workstation, and even emergency tire repair.
Q: What size portable air tank do I need?
A: Portable compressed air tanks come in different sizes, and their capacities are measured in gallons of compressed air. You’ll often see 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11-gallon size options. To decide which one you need, think about what you’ll be using the tank for. A tank that’s 10 gallons or larger can be more useful for a wider range of applications since they hold more air, but the smaller tanks are even more portable and take up less space. However, it’s important to note that a 7-gallon air tank won’t have the capacity to fill a small car tire that’s completely flat.
