Exclusivas Rodriguez Espinosa SL is a rental company located in Cadiz, Spain.  Their business focusses on nearby refineries that require compressed air to clean tanks.  When they were looking for a replacement of their XAS 77 compressor fleet, Atlas Copco introduced their new 8 Series compressor range.  This range of small air compressors is reliable, quick to service and features the unique HardHat canopy.  In addition, all units weigh below 750 kg, towable without the need of a special driving license.

If you need compressed air, we’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a rental company, that is our promise to our customers. In order to comply with their requirements, we need a fleet of air compressors that are reliable, quick to service and easy to transport. When we wanted to update our fleet of XAS 77 compressors after 12 years of service, it was clear Atlas Copco has not stopped innovating. The new 8 series XAS 88 compressor complied with all our requirements and went even beyond.

For the past 12 years, 5 XAS 77 Atlas Copco compressors have been a valuable part of Espinosa’s fleet. Their positive experience with regards to reliability and service, set the standard for the replacement order. They were looking for the same quality and user friendliness. The new 8 Series range showed Atlas Copco continued to innovate after releasing the 7 series. The HardHat PE hood stood the test of time. Despite being towed around different customer sites; the units still looked brand new and more importantly, remained performing. The new 8 Series XAS 88 features the same HardHat canopy, in a new design. Next, the undercarriage is standard 110% containment spillage free, made from a single sheet and with a 3 layer anti-corrosion protection (C3 certified). In addition, the anti-air lock and starter motor protection system improved the reliability even more. All features that ensure a long lifetime of the compressors.
