Hellwig Air Compressors

Differences between Hellwig air compressors

What is the difference between all three air compressor kits and better yet, which one is best for your air bags?

The Hellwig standard duty air compressor system includes a dash panel that features a pressure monitoring gauge and a control switch letting you to inflate and deflate your air springs. The Hellwig standard duty compressor is ideal for that driver who uses their air bags for RVing or towing during the weekend. The standard duty compressor operates at a lower pressure amount then the heavy duty compressor.

For drivers who use their air bags frequently, then the Hellwig heavy duty air compressor system is recommended. Unlike the standard air compressor, Hellwig heavy duty air compressor system operates at a higher pressure amount. With a duty cycle of 33%, Hellwig 4893 also comes with a storage tank. A dual valve control panel features a needle pressure monitoring gauge which will provide you with a pressure indication of each air spring. You can adjust you air bags on the go by a flip of the switch.

For more of the hands off approach, the Hellwig auto level air compressor system will help your vehicle always seek the pre-determined ride height. How does this work? The auto level will let you preset your ride height so when you apply a load to your truck, the auto level will detect a change in your rides height and automatically adjust your air springs to the height you had preset. No need for a control panel or gauge, the Hellwig auto level air compressor system will do all the work while you keep your eyes on the road. Kits come with a compressor, mounting brackets, valves and hoses.
