The next evolution of the classic K series air compressors

For over 45 years, Pilot Air has been synonymous with durability, reliability, and quality. Our reputation as Australia’s leading supplier of air industrial compressors just got an extra boost.

Today, we’re excited to unveil a bold evolution of our Classic K range of reciprocating air compressors. This revamp reaffirms our commitment to craftsmanship and introduces a future-ready design that speaks directly to the needs of modern businesses.

We’ve taken the strength of the past and forged it into the future. The Classic K series is not built to a price—it’s built to a standard. And with this latest evolution, that standard just got even higher.

The new generation of Classic K series reciprocating air compressors, available in 240V—three-phase electric, petrol, and diesel-powered models, is more robust, more sustainable, and primed to offer unparalleled performance in the long term.

“Built for Australian conditions, the upgraded Classic K Range offers stronger protection, longer life, and proven reliability.”

What's new?

The Classic K range of air compressors now features an upgraded powder-coated tank and platform, offering enhanced protection and longevity. This more versatile and scalable design allows quicker special build turnarounds, meeting your business needs more efficiently.

With high-tensile connecting bolts, reinforced platform mounts, and modular flexibility, the revamped Classic K series is designed for businesses that demand durability. Whether you need a high-performance solution for industrial, commercial, or custom builds, the new Classic K range delivers value, innovation, and reliability.

We’re extending the warranty on all new Classic K models to demonstrate our faith in this evolution. Built in Australia for Australian conditions with the same quality components you’ve come to expect, enjoy a 5-year warranty on both the pump and build, giving you the confidence that your investment is protected for the long haul.
