• Certified Accuracy: All models are individually tested and many are compliant with BS EN12645:2014 or EC Directive 86/217.
• Rapid Inflation & Deflation: Direct valve systems and efficient airflow reduce service times.
• Ergonomic Design: Biomorphic shapes, lightweight builds, and comfort grips for reduced operator fatigue.
• Digital or Analogue Displays: Clear pressure readings in multiple units (psi, bar, kPa) with backlit digital screens where applicable.
• Durability: Impact-resistant construction, metal internals, rubber guards, and reinforced hose connections.
• Maintenance-Friendly: Long service life with minimal maintenance; replaceable batteries for digital models.
• Environmental Readiness: Designed for both indoor and outdoor operation, including extreme temperature and high-humidity conditions.

• Operating Pressure Range: Typically 0 – 170 psi, Up to 319 psi depending on the model.
• Temperature Range: Operating: -20°C to +60°C, Storage: -30°C to +80°C
• Power Supply (Digital Models): 2 x AAA or CR2450 Lithium battery (depending on model), Battery life: Up to 1000 hours
• Inflation Flow Rate: Up to 910 l/min at 13 bar for most models, 500 l/min typical on MK4 inflators
• Construction Materials: Die-cast aluminium or nylon-filled polymer body, Protective rubber guard on many models, Brass or metal internal valves (premium units)
