The Kaeser Mobilair M55 and M59 are towable diesel rotary-screw air compressors in the 185-195 CFM class the construction-site workhorse size for civil, demolition and pipeline crews running three or four pneumatic tools from one mobile circuit. The M55PE delivers 185 CFM at 100 PSI from a 43 hp Tier 4 Final Kubota D1803CR-T driving Kaeser’s SIGMA PROFILE airend.
This is the class that keeps a demolition crew’s paving breakers and rivet busters fed simultaneously, with surge headroom left over. Standard outlets accept crowsfoot, claw and quick-disconnect fittings, so a contractor air hose connects straight from the manifold; the M59 is the follow-on variant in the same family on the same chassis.
