Chicago Pneumatic, with Power Technique North America, has launched the CPS 185-100 towable air compressor designed for construction sites. Engineered and built in Rock Hill, S.C., the air compressor is powered by a liquid-cooled, three-cylinder Kohler diesel engine. Customers can access this product for their projects, as it is manufactured in the United States.
"The move towards production in Rock Hill means our customers receive a U.S. assembled product with better availability,” said Eric Massinon, business development manager for Chicago Pneumatic. “With more features offered as standard, and more flexibility to add options for customer's specific needs."
The CPS 185-100 powers two 90-lb. breakers, or other additional tools, and ranges up to 125 psi. The Xc1004 controller is included in the standard package, which makes operating parameters visible. This product also features an integrated toolbox.
Air pressure, fuel level and running hours are all displayed on screen, as well as additional measurements—like rpm, engine temperatures, oil pressure and voltage—for diagnosis and troubleshooting. The Xc1004 intuitive controller displays compressor and engine measurements, warnings, alarms, operational settings and routine service requirements.
The CPS 185 features the Redrock polyethylene canopy that comes standard and provides corrosion and UV protection against fading and discoloration. The undercarriage frame offers 110% spillage free containment that protects against spills or leaks and avoids clean-up and damage to the environment.
“Everything that we do starts and ends with you, our customer,” said Marius Cristescu, product marketing manager at Chicago Pneumatic. “Before we start doing the design, we listened to our USA customers and designed and built a simple, easy to use state of the art compressor that gets the job done right in any though applications.”
Designed for tough environments, the CPS 185 supports pneumatic handheld tools for demolition, construction or on-site maintenance. The CPS 185 can also be used for abrasive blasting, concrete blasting or stain removals.
“With the new Kohler engine, you can take control of almost all service and troubleshooting activities on both engine and compressor side. So, you’ll never have to wait on someone else’s technician to come and service your machine, including warranty claims,” said Cristescu.
