Air Compressors

Falcon Equipment Rentals offers portable air compressor rentals across all five Northern Alberta branches — available in a wide range of CFM outputs and pressure ratings to match everything from small tool operation on residential sites through to high-volume industrial applications on oilfield, pipeline, and major construction projects. Our compressor fleet covers gasoline, diesel, and electric powered units to suit your site's power availability and application requirements.

Units are sourced from leading manufacturers and maintained to perform reliably in Northern Alberta's demanding conditions — including extreme cold, where compressor performance and reliability are critical. Contact your nearest Falcon branch to confirm availability and get the right CFM and PSI matched to your tools and application.

Choosing the right compressor size

Air compressor sizing comes down to two key numbers — CFM (cubic feet per minute, the volume of air delivered) and PSI (pounds per square inch, the pressure). Every pneumatic tool has a CFM and PSI requirement. Running multiple tools simultaneously means adding those requirements together.

Small portable compressors suit single-tool operation — nail guns, impact wrenches, paint sprayers, and small inflation tasks on residential and light commercial sites.

Mid-range towable compressors handle multiple tools simultaneously and power heavier pneumatic equipment — jackhammers, sandblasting, pneumatic drills, and construction site applications where continuous air demand is higher.

Large industrial compressors supply high-volume air for demanding oilfield, pipeline, mining, and industrial applications — including air-powered equipment, pressure testing, purging, and multi-tool jobsites where air demand is continuous and high.

Not sure what size you need? Call your nearest Falcon branch with your tool list and application — we'll confirm the right unit and prevent the costly mistake of under-sizing your compressor.
