When it comes to powering tools, cleaning surfaces, or operating pneumatic equipment, few machines are as essential on a job site as an air compressor. For construction companies, builders, and oilfield operators across southern Alberta, renting industrial air compressors offers a smart, flexible, and cost-effective solution to keep projects moving efficiently.
At Strait Way in Coaldale, we provide a full range of air compressors for rent — from compact 185 CFM units to heavy-duty 375 CFM machines — helping you get the right equipment for the job without the long-term expense.
1. Cost Savings and Budget Control
Buying an industrial air compressor can be a big investment. This is especially true for businesses that need one for specific projects or seasonal work. Renting allows you to:
- Pay only for the time you need the equipment
- Avoid large upfront costs
- Eliminate long-term storage and maintenance expenses
This flexibility helps construction companies better manage budgets and allocate funds toward other critical areas of their projects.
2. Access to Reliable, Well-Maintained Equipment
When you rent from Strait Way, you’re getting equipment that’s regularly inspected, serviced, and ready to perform. Our air compressors are maintained to manufacturer standards, ensuring consistent pressure output, safety, and fuel efficiency on your job site.
This means no downtime from mechanical issues — and no costly repairs to worry about.
3. The Right Size for Every Job
Every project has different air requirements. Whether you’re operating jackhammers, sandblasters, or pneumatic drills, having the correct CFM and PSI is crucial.
Our rental inventory includes a wide selection of units such as:
- 185 CFM and 210 CFM Sullivan Palatek compressors for general construction use
- 375 CFM and 425 CFM Doosan and Sullair models for larger, more demanding applications
Our team can help you determine the right compressor based on your tools, job duration, and work environment.
4. Reduced Maintenance and Downtime
Owning heavy-duty equipment means managing repairs, oil changes, and replacement parts. Renting removes that burden.
If an issue arises during your rental period, Strait Way provides quick service or a replacement unit to get your site back up and running fast — minimizing costly delays.
5. Flexibility for Short-Term and Seasonal Projects
Construction and oilfield work in Alberta can fluctuate with the seasons. Renting gives you the flexibility to scale your equipment needs up or down depending on workload, weather, or project scope.
Whether you’re paving, blasting, or powering air tools, you’ll always have the right compressor when you need it.
