  • an all-in-one unit with 6,000 PSI storage capacity and 15-25 horsepower;
  • three SCBA fill stations accommodating cylinders up to 31" overall length;
  • a 100-foot high-pressure cabinet-enclosed hose reel;
  • a sound-attenuating enclosure with slam-action latches;
  • an automatic condensate drain system with a noncorrosive reservoir, integrated float sensor, and automatic "Full" indication with compressor shutdown;
  • safety alarms with an emergency stop button.
