Description
PA1170P Portable Air Compressor
Powered by the CAT® C13B engine, the Bobcat® PA1170P portable compressor delivers high-powered efficiency with best-in-class serviceability.
- Delivers 1,170 cfm at up to 365 psi
- Ideal for foundation drilling, mining, or oil and gas applications
- Large doors offer easy access for jobsite maintenance
- Available IQ System® option for clean air needs
The Bobcat PA1170P delivers heavy-duty air power with adjustable pressure to fit your varied jobsite needs. Powered by the reliable CAT C13B engine, this newly redesigned towable compressor features a more compact design, an efficient airend with a wider pressure range, and best-in-class serviceability.
The PA1170P was engineered for maximum jobsite productivity with easy serviceability in mind. Large extra-wide doors and thoughtful placement of service items ensure minimal downtime during routine maintenance and on-the-job service.
The proprietary airend, custom designed for this machine, offers a highly efficient rotor profile that requires less horsepower to deliver the high-volume cfm output you need for big jobs. Yet the compact design makes it easy to maneuver around the jobsite with exceptional towability and cooling performance. It can also be mounted to a flatbed for easier transportation or long-term placement.
For specialized jobs requiring cleaner air, the PA1170P can be equipped with the patented IQ System, which adds an onboard aftercooler, a coalescing dual filtration system and an exclusive zero-discharge condensate removal system. These components work together to produce clean air that protects the tools downstream from contaminants, such as aerosol oil vapors and microscopic dust particles.
For heavy-duty jobs, rely on the Bobcat PA1170P to increase uptime and maximize your jobsite productivity.

The PA1170P steps up to a Caterpillar C13B engine and higher 1,170 cfm output. Dimensions and weights are for the enclosed unit with running gear (working weight includes fuel).
Bobcat Air Compressor Technology
Precision Rotors
The rotors used in Bobcat proprietary airends feature a versatile gearbox design with case carburized gears, providing a wide gear ratio range. Premium bearings also add greater durability and improve operational efficiency.
FlexAir System
Bobcat compressors, featuring the variable FlexAir System, let you maintain complete control of both air pressure and airflow. From the control panel, you can dial in the exact combination of pressure and flow within the compressor's operational range.
Dual Pressure Capability
Dual pressure compressors offer two-in-one versatility with clear HI/LOW options on the control panel. Operators can select between two adjustable airflow and air pressure combinations to power multiple applications, eliminating the need for multiple compressors.
Proprietary Airends
With tighter rotor tolerances comes better performance. Bobcat proprietary airends are engineered to deliver exceptional performance, low vibration and reduced noise, and they're manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility in Statesville, North Carolina.
