Chicago Pneumatic CPS 110 KD8 Towable Rotary Screw Air Compressor – 110 CFM @ 100 PSI

The Chicago Pneumatic CPS 110 KD8 T4F towable air compressor is the smallest diesel rotary screw in CP's portable lineup — and one of the most versatile machines on the market for crews who only need one or two pneumatic tools running at a time but don't want to give up rotary-screw reliability. At under 1,200 pounds dry, it's the easiest CP towable to move around with a half-ton pickup or even a properly rated SUV, and at 71 dB(A) sound pressure at 7 meters it's quiet enough for noise-sensitive urban jobsites, hospital campuses, and weekend rental customers.

Built for the small-crew job

This 110 CFM compressor was purpose-built for the segment of the market that has historically been forced to choose between a noisy gas-powered wheelbarrow reciprocating unit and an oversized 185 CFM rental. The CPS 110 KD8 gives you a real diesel rotary screw — same airend technology used in the 250 and 400-150 — in a chassis that fits into tight alleys, tree-lined streets, and downtown sidewalks where larger compressors can't go.

Typical jobs:

• Single-operator breaker work (one 60-lb breaker comfortably)
• Plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration service trucks
• Tire shops and mobile fleet service
• Sign installation and small concrete repair
• Rental yards stocking a quiet, single-tool option
• Cable and fiber installation (light pneumatic blowers)
• Pneumatic actuator testing and commissioning

Why the 71 dB(A) sound rating matters

Most 185 CFM diesel towables run in the 76–80 dB(A) range. The CPS 110's 71 dB(A) rating puts it 5–9 dB below the competition, which is meaningfully quieter — every 3 dB drop is roughly half the perceived noise. For municipal contractors bidding work in residential zones with noise ordinances, hospital and university campuses, or any job near pedestrians and offices, the 110 KD8 dramatically widens the hours you can legally run the machine.

Towability and footprint

Under 1,200 pounds dry means the CPS 110 KD8 can be towed behind virtually any pickup, SUV with proper trailer rating, or even some heavy-duty utility vehicles. The DOT towing package is standard: pintle eye, 4-way flat plug lighting, road-legal axle, and VIN. Combined with the small footprint, that makes it the only Chicago Pneumatic towable that easily fits inside a fenced lockup or storage container overnight.

Service, maintenance, and ownership cost

Chicago Pneumatic engineered the CPS 110 KD8 around long service intervals to minimize per-hour cost of ownership. Synthetic compressor oil is rated for 1,000 hours between changes. Air and fuel filters are oversized for jobsite dust loads. The Kubota D902 is one of the most widely supported small diesels in the world — service parts are available through any Kubota dealer in North America, in addition to CP's authorized service network.

Frequently asked questions

Can I tow this with a half-ton pickup? Yes. At under 1,200 lbs dry and a wet weight well under most ½-ton tow ratings, the CPS 110 KD8 is the easiest diesel rotary screw towable to move around.

Does it need DEF? No. The 24.8 HP Kubota D902 meets Tier 4 Final without DEF or aftertreatment beyond the standard DOC.

Will it run a sandblaster? Yes, with a small (#2 or #3) nozzle for light surface prep. For continuous blasting, step up to the CPS 185 KDU or 250 KD8.

What's the warranty? Chicago Pneumatic provides a manufacturer warranty on the airend and engine. Contact Warthog Air Compressor Store for current terms and extended coverage options.
