MAX AKHL1320E PowerLite High Pressure Air Compressor

The MAX AKHL1320E High-Pressure Air Compressor is designed for professionals who need portable, ultra-quiet air compression without compromising power. With a 2.64-gallon dual tank and the ability to generate up to 3.0 CFM at 300 PSI, this oil-less unit delivers steady airflow for both high-pressure (500 PSI) and standard-pressure (100 PSI) pneumatic tools. Weighing only 38.9 lbs, the compact build makes it a solid fit for mobile tradespeople or contractors working in urban areas or noise-sensitive environments like hospitals, schools, or residential job sites.

MAX’s patented outer rotor motor helps the unit produce more torque at a lower RPM, cutting down on motor strain and operating noise. With a decibel rating as low as 60 dB in Quiet Mode, it performs at conversation-level noise. The brushless DC motor and inverter circuit design allow reliable startups even in low-voltage conditions or cold environments down to -4°F, making this compressor ideal for fieldwork across Vancouver Island and the rest of Canada.

MAX PowerLite High Pressure Air Compressor At a Glance

• Lightweight and Compact: Weighs just 38.9 lbs, reducing fatigue during transport and setup on the job.
• Ultra-Quiet Operation: Produces only 60 dB in Quiet Mode; ideal for indoor or occupied environments.
• Low Vibration Design: Horizontal pistons and motor-floating mechanism reduce vibration and extend the life of internal parts.
• Cold Weather Ready: Starts in temperatures as low as -4°F, increasing reliability for all-season jobsites.
• Inverter Circuit Protection: Manages electrical flow to prevent tripping breakers, even with poor power supply.
• Dual Tool Capability: Equipped with two 500 PSI outlets and two 100 PSI outlets to run both high-pressure and conventional tools.
• Brushless DC Motor: Offers more startup torque and longer lifespan than traditional motors.

Markets

• Construction: Performs well in multi-trade job sites where standard and high-pressure tools are needed.
• Facility Maintenance: Quiet operation and compact size are ideal for indoor repairs and installations.
• Trade Schools: Offers versatility and safety features for educational use in training environments.
• Municipal Work: Suitable for work in public buildings or urban zones where noise restrictions apply.
• Flooring and Finishing: Quiet and portable enough for use in finished spaces like apartments or offices.
• Remodeling Contractors: Handles both framing and finishing tools without changing compressors.
• HVAC Technicians: Reliable in varying power and climate conditions, ideal for rooftop or residential HVAC tasks.

Trades that rely on quiet operation or have variable power access—like remodelers, finish carpenters, flooring installers, and facility maintenance teams—can benefit directly from this unit. The AKHL1320E helps reduce jobsite noise complaints while powering multiple tool types simultaneously. Its high PSI compatibility allows flexibility with both high-pressure nailers and traditional air tools, so you get more done with fewer machines onsite.

MAX AKHL1320E PowerLite High Pressure Air Compressor Features

• LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT: At 38.9lbs. dual handled high pressure compressor can be transported with minimal effort and minimal fatigue on the body.
• WHISPER QUIET OPERATION: LED Horizontal Pistons in teh motor creates less vibration than a V-shaped piston compressor. Motor Floating Mechanism absorbs vibrations and minimizes noise. Quiet mode lowers the rotation speed of the motor when working in confined spaces or in “quiet” areas like apartment buildings, schools or hospitals.
• EASY START FEATURES: The motor is designed to operate down to -4 degree (Fahrenheit). Circuit inverter will manage and monitor the electrical current traveling through the compressor preventing breakers from shutting down even in low supply areas. DC Brushless motor has more starting power than a generic motor that is used for conventional compressors.
• COMPATIBLE WITH 500PSI AND 100PSI TOOLSS: Has 2 connections for 100 psi tools and 2 connections for 500psi tools. Both tools can be used with this compressor.
