Atlas® Air Force 60 Gal Single-Stage Air Compressor #ATEATAF4

Atlas Air Force AF4 — 60 Gallon Single-Stage Compressor (PP65 Pump)

The hobby compressor dies the day the shop gets busy — what a real garage needs is a rebuildable cast-iron pump with a US-style 220V motor and a tank that recovers before the tool starves. The Atlas Air Force AF4 is the bigger of Atlas's two 60-gallon single-stage units: a 3-cylinder PP65 pump delivering 15.0 CFM at 40 PSI (13.7 at 90), with a recovery time from 90 to 135 PSI of 1 minute 40 seconds — twice as fast as its AF3 sibling.

It runs on standard 220-volt single-phase, sits on a 25-inch footprint, and carries the same quiet-operation engineering as the line — the serious home shop or light commercial bay's honest compressor.

Who the Atlas Air Force AF4 Is Built For

• Serious home shops and light commercial bays — 15 CFM at 40 PSI runs impact wrenches, tire work, and paint guns without the 120-gallon class's electrical demands.
• Buyers choosing between the AF3 and AF4 — the AF4's 3-cylinder PP65 pump delivers roughly 30% more air than the AF3's 2-cylinder PP60 and recovers from 90–135 PSI twice as fast (1:40 vs the AF3's pace).
• Shops that want a rebuildable pump — cast iron, belt-driven, serviceable — instead of the oil-free throwaway pumps that define the home-center compressor aisle.
• Shops on 220V single-phase with modest panel capacity — this is not a 40–50 amp commitment like the two-stage line.
• Buyers who value fast recovery — the 1-minute-40-second tank recovery keeps tools from bogging during back-to-back use.

What the Atlas Air Force AF4 Is NOT Built For

This is not a two-stage compressor — it tops out at 90–135 PSI, so tools wanting 175 PSI belong on the 120-gallon two-stage line (AF9/AF10/AF15). It's not for continuous-demand shops; single-stage is for intermittent work. And it's not the value play — the AF3 is that, if slower recovery and less air fit the budget.

Important sizing note: confirm 220V single-phase service, measure the footprint (25 1/5" L × 18" W × 65 3/4" H), and check your tools' PSI demands against the 90–135 PSI operating band before purchase. Questions on fit? Call (817) 865-3707 before ordering — we confirm compatibility, not guesses.

What Makes the Atlas Air Force AF4 Different

The PP65 pump — the reason to buy the AF4

3-cylinder, single-stage, rebuildable cast iron, belt driven — roughly 30% more delivered air than the AF3's PP60 and half the recovery time.

• 15.0 CFM @ 40 PSI / 13.7 @ 90
• Recovery 90–135 PSI in 1:40
• PP65 3-cylinder cast-iron pump

Runs on ordinary shop power

220V single-phase — no 40–50 amp dedicated circuit like the two-stage 120-gallon class.

Quiet and steady

Quiet-operation engineering, heavy-duty metal belt guard, and vibro-isolator pads — a compressor you can stand next to.

Best For

• Serious home shops
• Light commercial bays
• 220V 1-phase power
• Fast tank recovery

Not Ideal For

• Tools needing 175 PSI (see two-stage line)
• Continuous-demand shops
• Minimum-budget buyers (see AF3)

AF4 vs AF3 — same 60-gallon platform, two pumps

Same tank, same quiet engineering — the AF4 is the pump upgrade; the AF3 is the value. Both beat an oil-free box-store unit.
