Reliable Reciprocating Air Compressor for Demanding Industrial Use

Reciprocating air compressors remain one of the most trusted solutions for facilities that require durable, intermittent-duty compressed air. Known as “piston compressors,” these systems use a cylinder and piston to create high-pressure airflow, making them ideal for applications operating between 80 and 250 PSI. With simple construction, low installation cost, and proven longevity, reciprocating compressors continue to be a preferred choice in small industrial, commercial, and automotive environments.
As an authorized Gardner Denver distributor, Ontario Compressor Supplies offers heavy-duty reciprocating compressor packages designed to perform in harsh and demanding conditions. These compressors deliver dependable operation for tire shops, auto body facilities, woodworking shops, construction sites, and general industrial applications where the unit frequently cycles on and off.
Available in single-stage, multistage, single-acting, and engine-driven configurations, reciprocating compressors provide excellent efficiency at partial load, reduced maintenance due to fewer moving parts, and a compact footprint. Whether you need rugged shop air or a portable engine-driven solution, our piston compressors deliver consistent performance and long service life.
