Compressors at BTE
Air compressors are an essential piece of equipment across construction, demolition, and industrial projects. At BTE Plant Sales, we supply a wide range of Atlas Copco compressors for sale in the UK, trusted by contractors and hire companies for their efficiency, durability, and reliability. Whether you need a compact model for smaller site work or a high-capacity compressor for powering multiple air tools, we can provide the right machine for your requirements.
An air compressor works by converting power into compressed air, which can then be used to operate tools such as air breakers, drills, and sandblasters. Portable diesel compressors are especially popular in construction because they are easy to transport between sites, fuel-efficient, and capable of running for long periods without interruption. Atlas Copco’s Stage V-compliant compressors also meet strict emissions standards, making them suitable for projects in low-emission zones.
At BTE Plant Sales, we understand that downtime is costly. That’s why all our compressors are backed by genuine OEM parts and servicing, ensuring your equipment performs at its best throughout its working life. With depots in Leicester, Leeds, and Leyland, we offer same-day parts dispatch, mobile servicing, and expert advice from manufacturer-trained engineers.
Whether you’re a small contractor needing a single machine or a hire company expanding your fleet, we make it simple to invest in the right compressor. Explore our full range of Atlas Copco compressors for sale and speak to our team about finance options to spread the cost of your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question? We are here to help
What is an air compressor used for?
An air compressor is used to power pneumatic tools such as air breakers, drills, sandblasters, and spray guns.
In construction, compressors are essential for demolition, roadworks, and site maintenance. They provide a reliable power source for tools that require constant air flow.
At BTE Plant Sales, we stock Atlas Copco compressors that deliver consistent performance and meet modern efficiency standards. Backed by our aftersales servicing, they are a cost-effective investment for contractors, hire companies, and infrastructure projects across the UK.
What types of compressors are available?
The most common types are portable diesel compressors for construction sites and electric compressors for workshop or industrial use.
Diesel compressors are valued for mobility and high capacity, while electric models are quieter and suitable for indoor environments.
At BTE Plant Sales, we focus on supplying Atlas Copco portable compressors designed for heavy-duty site work. Our team can advise on which model best suits your needs, and we provide full OEM parts and service support to keep your compressor working reliably.
Which compressor do I need for my site?
The right compressor depends on the tools you’re using and the air flow required. Smaller compressors are suitable for light tools and short tasks, while large-capacity units are needed for continuous use with multiple breakers or drills.
Our team at BTE Plant Sales will help you choose from the Atlas Copco compressor range to match your site requirements. We also offer finance options to make it easier for contractors and hire firms to invest in the correct machine without straining budgets.

At BTE Plant Sales, every compressor is supported with genuine OEM parts and access to trained engineers who provide servicing and repairs. This means your compressor will stay reliable across multiple projects, reducing downtime and offering excellent return on investment.
Can compressors be used with air breakers?
Yes, compressors are commonly paired with air breakers, providing the necessary air flow for efficient operation. At BTE Plant Sales, we supply both air breakers and Atlas Copco compressors, ensuring you have a fully compatible setup. Our product specialists can help you match the correct compressor size to your breakers, making sure you get the right balance of power, efficiency, and fuel consumption for your site.

Do compressors need much maintenance?
