MAX USA releases new compressors
Mineola, N.Y.-based MAX USA Corp. rolled out two new PowerLite 500 psi compressors.
The AKHL1260E and AKHL1260EX PowerLite compressors are described as extremely lightweight and powerful. At 35.4 lbs and 51.1 lbs. respectively, these air compressors can hold compressed air at 500 psi. The AKHL1260E is equipped with two tanks and the AKHL1260EX five tanks. 4 air-outlets come standard on both compressors. 2 outlets for high pressure tools and 2 outlets for regular 100 psi pressure tools. Easily transform the AKHL1260E to a 5-tank compressor by attaching the optional AKTH13 accessory.
A little background: The company lays claim to the distinction of developing the world’s first high-pressure pneumatic nailing system -- introduced to the Japanese market in 1994. Powered by 500psi technology, MAX PowerLite tools are approximately 40% lighter and 20% smaller than most competitors’ tools without sacrificing power. In 2003 the MAX PowerLite system became available in North American.
MAX Powerlite Compressors are powered by a DC-Brushless motor and have an inverter circuit which adjusts the RPM to extract maximum performance at different voltage levels. This technology allows start up in cold weather and operation under poor electric supply conditions (down to 70 volts without popping the breaker). An LED light indicator system is built in to identify performance issues and the compressor’s easy drain lever quickly releases air and water from the compressor’s tanks.
