ABAC Rollcage 1.2 HP Portable Air Compressor - 2 Gallon, 135 PSI, 120V Single-Phase

The ABAC Rollcage is a 1.2 HP portable air compressor built around a 2 gallon tank and a 135 PSI maximum working pressure. A tubular steel roll cage wraps the pump, tank, gauges and regulator, so the controls stay protected on a work site and the whole unit lifts by a single padded top handle. It runs at only 62 dBA and plugs into any standard 120V household outlet.

Why 62 dBA changes where you can work

At 62 dBA the Rollcage is the quietest compressor in the ABAC at-home range, quiet enough to run beside you on a bench or indoors without ear protection and without drowning out a conversation. Every other machine in the range sits between 72 and 77 dBA, and the gap is larger than the numbers suggest, because a 10 dBA difference is roughly half the perceived loudness. That is what makes this the one you can run in a finished basement, a shared garage, a classroom or shop bay with someone working next to you, or a home office conversion, without the machine dictating when you are allowed to use it.

The roll cage frame doubles as the carry handle and as a guard for the regulator, the pressure gauges and the quick connect coupler, which is what keeps a 41 lb machine serviceable after a few seasons of being loaded in and out of a vehicle. The pressure regulator lets you set tool pressure below the 135 PSI tank maximum, so a brad nailer, an airbrush and a tire chuck can all run off the same machine without swapping fittings.

How it compares

Within the ABAC at-home range the trade is noise and protection against weight and tank size. The Suitcase is the light one at 22 lbs with a 1.6 gallon tank and 120 PSI, but it runs at 77 dBA. The Twin Force steps up to a 4 gallon twin stack at 135 PSI and 72 dBA for contractor work, at 53 lbs. The Power Force carries the largest receiver of the group at 6 gallons and 175 PSI, also at 77 dBA. The XPN Flex drops the tank entirely at 13.5 lbs, so it gives air only while the motor is running. The Rollcage sits in the middle on size and wins outright on noise, so it is the pick for indoor work, a shared shop, a basement, or anywhere a 72 to 77 dBA machine would be unwelcome.

Typical applications

ABAC rates the At-Home DIY range for inflating, blowing, cleaning, nailing and stapling, and painting. In practice that means tires, sports equipment, pool floats and air mattresses, clearing dust off benches, filters and equipment, airbrushing and simple spray work, and brad, finish and trim nailing around a home, garage or workshop. ABAC builds the at-home range for occasional and intermittent duty, so the Rollcage suits a homeowner's main compressor or a quiet second machine rather than running a sander, a grinder or a blast cabinet. Work that needs continuous air wants a larger receiver and a continuous duty pump.

A note on air delivery

ABAC does not publish a CFM rating for the At-Home DIY range, so we do not quote one here. If you need delivered air at a specific pressure to size this against a particular tool, call us and we will get the figure confirmed for this configuration before you order rather than guess at it.
