Diesel air compressor built to outperform in the field

The Mi-T-M ABS-9KD-30H is a serious diesel air compressor engineered for jobsite performance where electricity isn’t an option and gas isn’t ideal. Designed around a reliable 9.1 HP Kohler KD440 OHV diesel engine, this unit delivers 29.0 CFM at 175 PSI with enough air output to run multiple tools without skipping a beat.

At the core is a cast iron, belt-driven, two stage pump that compresses air in two phases. This reduces heat buildup, improves efficiency, and extends the life of the pump — even under constant use.

The 30 gallon horizontal tank provides excellent air storage capacity, keeping tools running longer between cycles. Whether you’re running sanders, spray rigs, or dual impact stations, this compressor handles it all with ease.

Built for heavy-duty use, the base mount design gives it rock-solid stability. This is not a portable unit — it’s meant to be bolted down in service trailers, mobile jobsite stations, or permanently installed in industrial environments where reliability matters most.

FAQ

Q: What makes diesel better than gas or electric for air compressors?
A: Diesel engines run more efficiently, offer longer engine life, and are ideal for remote or off-grid use.

Q: Is this a portable unit?
A: No — it’s a base-mounted compressor designed to be installed in service trailers or mounted permanently in a shop.

Q: How long will it run on a full tank of diesel?
A: Runtime varies based on load, but diesel engines are known for excellent fuel economy under sustained pressure.

Q: Can I run high-demand tools like sandblasters or dual guns?
A: Yes — with 29 CFM at 175 PSI, this unit is designed for serious tool use without pressure drop.
