20 GALLON AIR COMPRESSOR WITH TRUE STARTUP POWER

The Mi-T-M AM2-SM09-20ME is built for pros who don’t have time to waste on cold starts or weak pressure. This 20 gallon air compressor comes with electric start, a two-stage cast iron pump, and serious CFM — giving you everything you need in one portable, powerhouse machine.

Under the hood, you’re getting a 300cc Mi-T-M OHV engine with electric start — making it easy to get moving, even in the cold. At 17.2 CFM @ 175 PSI, this unit delivers enough air to run framing tools, grinders, and spray systems without pressure drop or cycling interruption.

The 20 gallon horizontal tank holds more air, which means longer tool operation with fewer stops for recovery. Pair that with the two-stage splash-lubricated pump, and you’ve got a system that runs cooler, lasts longer, and performs harder.

Mobility is handled by a wheelbarrow-style frame with 10” flat-free tires and a 3/16” steel base plate — built to take jobsite abuse while keeping the compressor stable and easy to roll. The pneumatic idle control kicks in when tools disengage, helping reduce fuel usage and noise while extending engine life.

For contractors, mobile crews, and techs who need a 20 gallon air compressor that starts easy, runs hard, and stays moving — this is your machine.
