Rotair

Rotair is a company based in Italy, founded in 1946. The story began when Mario Musso, an Italian mechanic, built a gasoline engine that could power equipment such as concrete mixers. Using parts from damaged aircraft from World War II, he developed a patented solution with outstanding fuel efficiency. Around 1960, the company went on to design and manufacture its first piston compressors, which were exported to countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, and Germany.


We can help you determine which compressor best suits your needs. We also assist with hydraulic and electrical installation and mounting of the compressor. In cases where the excavator is new and still under warranty, the work is carried out in cooperation with the machine supplier.

Below is an overview of different types of compressors, along with links to various models:
