Hitachi Global Air Power To Showcase Electric Sullair Portable Air Compressors at CONEXPO
Hitachi Global Air Power is preparing for an electrifying presence at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. The company is bringing its next generation of electric portable air compressors to its booth #S60834. According to the press release, this portfolio delivers superior performance while helping rental and construction customers reduce operating costs and meet evolving sustainability expectations.
“Innovation for us starts with listening to our customers,” said Hideki Fujimoto, president and CEO of Hitachi Global Air Power. “We’re expanding our portfolio of reliable, durable and high-performing electric portable air compressors to meet a wide range of customer needs. At the same time, we continue to invest in and advance our diesel offerings to ensure we have the right solution for today’s applications and tomorrow’s demands.”
A Growing Electric Line
The company first unveiled the Sullair E1035H electric air compressor at the 2023 edition of CONEXPO. This model boasts many patent-pending elements, including swing-out coolers for easy cleaning and maintenance and condensate management technology. It was designed with the Sullair-exclusive Electronic Spiral Valve (ESV), providing superior efficiency.
Two additional models — the Sullair E425H and OFE1550 — were released in 2025. The company said the smaller Sullair E425H features much of the advanced technology found in the E1035H. It offers 425 cfm at 150 psi of compressed air power for customers in the rental and construction markets for a wider range of applications.
The Sullair OFE1550 oil-free electric portable air compressor delivers 1,550 cfm at 125 psi of Class 0 oil-free air. This model is ideal for applications like oil and gas, as well as back-up plant air in any application where air purity is critical.
From the press release:
Like its predecessors, the OFE1550 boasts customer-forward features including easy maintenance, a simple start-up with the Wye-Delta starter, and enhanced safety by keeping electric connections and discharge components away from the operator. It also features a smart auto-lubrication system that automatically delivers the ideal amount of lubrication to the motor, maximizing performance and protecting against premature wear.
“Our customers are facing rising energy and operating costs and tighter emission and sustainability requirements,” said Jerel Cole, global portable product manager at Hitachi Global Air Power. “Our next generation electric air compressors were developed to meet real operational demands — delivering the performance and air power our customers expect while helping them to operate more efficiently and responsibly.”
