California Air Tools AUX Series | Portable Auxiliary Air Tanks
More Air. Less Cycling. Ultimate Mobility.
Whether you need to double your compressor’s capacity or carry compressed air to a spot where power cords can’t reach, the California Air Tools AUX Series is the solution. Available in a range of sizes and materials, these auxiliary tanks are the ultimate “force multiplier” for your pneumatic setup.
Designed for versatility, every tank in the AUX Series serves two critical functions:
- System Expansion (Buffer): Connect an AUX tank to your existing compressor to instantly increase your total air storage. This reduces “short cycling” (the motor turning on and off constantly), smooths out airflow for consistent pressure, and cools the air to reduce moisture.
- Portable Air Supply (Fill & Go): Need to inflate a tire in the driveway or blow dust off a harvester in the field? Simply fill the tank, disconnect it, and walk away. It acts as a lightweight, cordless bucket of air.
Key Features
- Choose Your Material:
- Steel Series (S): Built for rugged durability and stability. Perfect for shop floors and garage environments where toughness counts.
- Aluminum Series (A): The premium choice for portability. Rust-proof and significantly lighter than steel, these tanks are effortless to carry up ladders, onto roofs, or across large job sites.
- Universal Compatibility: Equipped with standard industrial quick-connect fittings, these tanks attach easily to any brand of air compressor.
- Complete Manifold System: No need to buy extra parts. Most AUX Series tanks come ready to use with an air hose, tire air chuck, pressure gauge, and relief valve pre-installed.
- Stable & Secure: Unlike round “bubble” tanks that roll around in your truck, the AUX Series features sturdy feet and a low center of gravity, ensuring they stay put during transport and use.
The “Buffer” Advantage
- Example: Hook a 10-Gallon AUX Tank to a 5-Gallon Compressor.
- Result: You now have a 15-Gallon System. Your compressor runs less often, stays cooler, and lasts longer.

- Quiet Work: Fill the tank during the day, then use the silent stored air at night for light tasks without waking the house.
