161 Atlas Copco's lightweight XAS87Kd compressor has been designed to meet the needs of the European construction and construction rental industries. Weighing under 750kg, the trailer-mounted unit is easy to transport and can be towed behind a vehicle by and holder of a standard driving license in most European countries. Said to be robust, sturdy and simple to operate, the XAS87Kd is powered by a 1265 Kubota V1505 diesel engine rated at 33kW.

The compact element design is efficient and the unit provides a free air delivery of 5m³/min at 7 bars, allowing it to drive three pneumatic tools at one time. The new model is available with a standard compact steel or durable HardHat canopy and is equipped as standard with a 40litre compact fuel tank. The unit also is offered with a cold start aid as an option, allowing it to work in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
