Plan your transport

A compressed air station rarely consists of the compressor alone. Receiver, refrigerated dryer, filter train and heat recovery may stand separately or be integrated in the compressor housing. Have the exact configuration confirmed so that no unit appears twice. A photo of each unit’s rating plate helps match data sheets correctly. A receiver’s pressure rating says nothing about its weight, and horizontal and vertical receivers have very different dimensions.

What matters

  • List compressor, receiver and dryer separately
  • Photograph each unit’s rating plate
  • Have the operator confirm it is drained and depressurised
