About Horizontal Air Compressors
Horizontal compressors typically share the same pump, motor and CFM specs as their vertical equivalents — only the tank orientation differs. Most are belt-drive with cast-iron oil-lubricated pumps.
They're popular for mobile workshop trailers and any garage with limited headroom. A wheeled horizontal 100L compressor can usually fit through a standard 760mm door.
Strong UK options include the SIP Airmate 100/E, Hyundai HY30100, Clarke SE25C150 and Sealey SAC1153B.
