Man-Portable Air Compressors

NCA Man-Portable Air Compressors

National Compressed Air (NCA) is a world leader in the design and manufacturing of innovative Man-Portable Air Compressors. 

Man-Portable or Man-Pac air compressors are a type of Lightweight Compressors designed and manufactured in a way to be lifted and moved using manpower only, when there are no viable means of transportation such as an access road or helicopter approach for example dense forests or underground mines. Man-Pac compressors are manufactured in smaller sizes and in a modular design to be disassembled into light-weight, man-portable pieces and will be assembled at the site after transportation.

Man-Pac air compressors are usually used together with Man-Portable Drills for drilling applications in remote and limited access areas in Seismic Drilling, or Geotechnical Drilling applications.
