Description
Overview
The Air Compressor 240v takes the hand pump out of ball maintenance. Run from a 240 V mains supply, it feeds a 1 m hose finished with a ball inflation needle and fitting, so a PE teacher or gear manager can top up a whole class set before the bell. The listing names sports stores, schools and clubs as its intended users.
It is the larger of two compressors in our pumps & needles range; the Air Compressor 240v Small is the compact alternative for a smaller cupboard. Keep spare Avaro Inflation Needles 12 Pk on the shelf, because the needle is the part that bends or wears first.
Key benefits
- Inflates a full class set quickly with mains power instead of hand pumping.
- 1 m hose reaches into a ball bag without lifting each ball to the unit.
- Ball inflation needle and fitting are included, so it works from day one.
- Suits schools, clubs and sports stores handling high ball volumes.
Who it's for
Schools with a central PE store, clubs with a shed and mains power, and sports retailers inflating stock. It is listed for basketball, netball, football (soccer), rugby union and league, tag rugby, dodgeball, playground and water polo balls.
It needs a 240 V outlet, so it is not a sideline tool. Keep an Avaro Inflation Pump (22.5cm) in the kit bag for match-day top-ups and use the compressor back at base.
Care, safety and set-up
Coil the hose and protect the needle between uses; check the needle for bends before each session and replace it when worn. Use only from a 240 V supply. Covered by our 12-month guarantee.
