The Twister T100 Hybrid mobile air compressor gives customers a choice of four operating fuels: gasoline, E-85, compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane. It is available with up to 100 cfm of air power, and the flexibility of a dual fuel source at the flip of a switch. It was designed for ease of operation and to greatly reduce fuel costs and emissions, thereby helping to decrease a fleet's carbon imprint. The T100 Hybrid can stand alone or be truck-mounted. Suitable for any chassis, it reduces the need for engine idling.

"The Twister T100 Hybrid outperforms other air compressors, providing additional air output and greater versatility with less noise, all in a smaller, lighter package that provides additional fuel and environmental cost savings for customers," says Darryl Weflen, president. "We are very proud to have our Twister T100 recognized by Work Truck Show attendees as the most innovative product at the show."
