Shopping for a heavy-duty air compressor can be frustrating, especially if you're dealing with underpowered units that overheat, wear out quickly, or can't keep up with a busy auto shop. Many 120-gallon air compressors make big claims but fall short under real pressure. The Atlas Equipment Air Force AF10 is built differently. It's engineered specifically for demanding commercial environments where consistent airflow and reliability aren't optional—they’re mission-critical.
This 10HP 120-gallon air compressor delivers serious performance with a 3-cylinder, 2-stage pump that cranks out 35 CFM at 175 PSI and 37 CFM at 90 PSI. That’s enough output to run multiple tools across multiple bays without slowing down. The horizontal tank design is made in the USA and holds a large air reserve while staying relatively compact for its class. And thanks to its belt-driven low-RPM motor and included Vibro-Isolation Pads, it runs quieter than you'd expect from a 1000 lb unit.
What really sets the AF10 apart is the Plus Package, a set of upgrades you don’t usually get without paying extra—or installing yourself. We're talking an automatic low-oil shutdown, air-cooled aftercooler, and auto tank drain—all designed to give you drier, cleaner air and longer machine life. It's backed by a 1-year parts warranty and comes standard with a magnetic starter, continuous run option, and smart features that make it a serious upgrade for any operation.
