This powerful machine delivers an impressive output that ensures a reliable supply of air for various applications, from powering pneumatic tools to inflation tasks.

One of the standout features of the MAC5500G is its powerful motor. With a 3.0 HP motor, it is capable of delivering a maximum pressure of 130 PSI and a large tank capacity of 5.5 gallons.

This air compressor features a dual-output regulator and two quick couplers, providing versatility for multiple tools to be used simultaneously. The rubberized handle ensures comfortable grip and maneuverability, while the easy-to-read gauges provide clear monitoring of pressure levels.

Furthermore, the MAC5500G incorporates advanced technologies such as thermal overload protection, which safeguards the motor from excessive heat, thus prolonging its life. The oil-lubricated pump is designed for quiet operation and increased durability, ensuring that users can work in the noise-sensitive environments without significant disruptions.

Overall, the Makita MAC5500G stands out as a powerful and adaptable compressor, blending efficiency, portability, and durability, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of air supply needs.
