Makita’s Quiet launch
12 March 2024
Makita has added a new air compressor to its Quiet Series range. Designed for use across a range of applications, the compact MAC210Q is available in 110V or 240V options.
The 1hp, 9-litre oil-free electric machine has a low noise level of 60dB(A), weighs 20kg and can be used indoors. It is designed for low-current draw on start-up to reduce the incidence of circuit breakers tripping and a lever-handle tank drain system is incorporated to facilitate air tank release.
The induction motor provides 2cfm at 90psi, with a maximum tank pressure of 135psi. Additionally, the compressor runs at a lower revs, extending the life of the motor and pump, which are also protected by a roll-cage.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK said: “Air compressors are hardy companions for workshop professionals – they need to be robust and reliable, while being practical and ergonomic. Makita offers all of this with the lightweight and portable MAC210Q, which delivers high performance at low noise levels.”
