Description
PA450VP Portable Air Compressor
The Bobcat® PA450VP dual pressure portable air compressor delivers versatile air power in a compact, easy-to-maneuver footprint.
- Two-in-one performance with programmable HI/LO pressure options
- 400 to 450 cfm at 150 to 200 psi
- Compact design with large access doors for easy serviceability
- Ideal for construction, abrasive blasting and fiber optic cable installation
The Bobcat PA450VP portable air compressor offers two-in-one versatility thanks to its dual pressure/airflow capability, which delivers either low airflow with high pressure or low pressure and high flow. Operators can make the adjustment on the fly (while the compressor is operating) with a single switch on the intuitively designed control panel. It’s an ideal setup for jobsites requiring support of multiple applications.
The dual pressure technology from Bobcat gives you the versatile air power you need to maximize productivity. With the HI/LOW options on the control panel, you can easily select between the two adjustable air flow and air pressure combinations to power multiple applications (without needing multiple compressors).
Service points on the PA450VP are easily accessible – and its simplified wiring and piping design makes servicing even easier. Automatic shutdowns (relative to several critical operational parameters) help avoid costly damage and subsequent repairs, increasing your overall uptime and productivity.
The PA425V delivers air power you can depend on with its power dense Tier 4 Final Cummins engine, engineered with DOC and SCR emissions technology. The Mini-Port full gauge control panel displays engine and airend temperature and pressure, as well as the percentage of fan speed and engine load. You can change the pressure and flow settings during compressor operation – delivering low airflow with high pressure or high airflow with low pressure. Automatic shutdowns, relative to several critical operational parameters, help avoid downtime for repairs.
The included mini-port full gauge control panel makes the PA450VP easy to operate in the field with selectable languages and display features. The machines intuitive control panel displays a wide variety of key machine parameters.
What Makes the PA450VP Different

Both medium units share the Bobcat Dual Pressure system (HI/LOW two-in-one airflow & pressure) and the Cummins F3.8L Performance Series engine. The PA450VP steps up to higher pressure (up to 200 psig) and flow. 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.
