An air compressor that is towed is a portable air compressor unit designed for easy transportation and versatility in various work environments. It typically consists of a compressor unit mounted on a trailer or skid, equipped with wheels for towing behind a vehicle. These air compressors are commonly used in construction, mining, agriculture, and other industries where pneumatic tools and equipment are required.

They provide compressed air for powering tools such as jackhammers, pneumatic drills, nail guns, and sandblasters. The ability to tow the compressor to different job sites makes it convenient for contractors and workers who need compressed air on the go. Towed air compressors come in various sizes and capacities to suit different applications, from small units suitable for light-duty tasks to larger models capable of powering multiple tools simultaneously.
