Direct drive air compressors are primarily aimed at the home user or light trade, perfect for small jobs such as tyre inflating, cleaning & for lighter use with some air tools. Different to belt drive compressors, the pump and motor is directly connected through a drive shaft. Direct drive air compressors are low maintenance, especially the oil free air compressors which are also good for moving around. We offer a wide range, typically up to 3.0Hp on a direct drive from popular brands such as SIP and Sealey.
