The Atlas Air Force AF8P is a top-tier, commercial-grade air compressor designed for demanding daily use in professional auto shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial environments. With a low-RPM 5HP motor and a powerful 2-cylinder, 2-stage pump, the AF8P delivers consistent performance with minimal noise. Operating between 145–175 PSI, it provides up to 20 CFM at 145 PSI—ideal for powering multiple pneumatic tools simultaneously. Built around a durable, USA-made 80-gallon vertical tank, this compressor is engineered for long-term productivity and reliability.
What sets the AF8P apart is the integrated Plus Package, which includes high-end upgrades for superior functionality and lifespan. These enhancements include an automatic low oil monitor, automatic tank drain, and an air-cooled aftercooler, all working together to reduce maintenance and ensure cleaner, drier air output. Also included are a magnetic starter, compressor oil drain extension, finned tank inlet tube, and heavy-duty metal belt guard. Whether you're running a busy 3–4 person shop or planning for future growth, the AF8P offers exceptional value, performance, and peace of mind.

Forklifts and Lift Gates
All of our Single Post, 2 Post, and 4 Post Lifts* require a forklift (or similar) to unload. Tire Changers and Balancers and other small items allow for a lift gate service (At no additional charge) Lift gate service will lower your order to street level. How do I know if a forklift is required? See the drop down options that show when you're attempting to place an order.
