Hitachi Global Air Power is bringing its next generation of electric portable air compressors to ConExpo 2026.

The company will showcase how the portfolio delivers superior performance while helping rental and construction customers reduce operating costs and meet evolving sustainability expectations.

“Innovation for us starts with listening to our customers,” said Hideki Fujimoto, President and CEO of Hitachi Global Air Power. “We’re expanding our portfolio of reliable, durable and high-performing electric portable air compressors to meet a wide range of customer needs. At the same time, we continue to invest in and advance our diesel offerings to ensure we have the right solution for today’s applications and tomorrow’s demands.”

At ConExpo 2023, the Sullair E1035H was unveiled. The compressor featured many patent-pending elements, including swing-out coolers for easy cleaning and maintenance and condensate management technology, which helps eliminate the need for additional disposal equipment.

The compressor was also designed for better user safety and with the Sullair-exclusive Electronic Spiral Valve (ESV), providing superior efficiency.

The company has carried forward much of the same technology found in the Sullair E1035H into the smaller Sullair E425H. The E425H offers 425 CFM at 150 psi of compressed air power for customers in the rental and construction markets for a wider range of applications.

Hitachi Global Air Power has also introduced the Sullair OFE1550 oil free electric portable air compressor.

The OFE1550 delivers 1,550 CFM at 125 psi of Class 0 oil free air – ideal for applications such as oil and gas and as back-up plant air in any application where air purity is critical.

Like its predecessors, the OFE1550 includes customer-forward features like easy maintenance, a simple start-up with the Wye-Delta starter and enhanced safety by keeping electric connections and discharge components away from the operator. It also features a smart auto-lubrication system that automatically delivers the ideal amount of lubrication to the motor, maximizing performance and protecting against premature wear.

“Our customers are facing rising energy and operating costs and tighter emission and sustainability requirements,” said Jerel Cole, Global Portable Product Manager at Hitachi Global Air Power.

“Our next generation electric air compressors were developed to meet real operational demands – delivering the performance and air power our customers expect while helping them to operate more efficiently and responsibly.” Hitachi Global Air Power launched the first electric portable air compressor in 1979; the operating, refurbished compressor, with more than 53,000 operating hours will be on display at ConExpo.
