Category Overview
The Compressors category, identified by ID 2015, is part of the Hardware > Tools > Compressors branch of the Google product taxonomy. This category is specifically reserved for mechanical devices designed to increase the pressure of gases, primarily air, for various pneumatic applications.
What Belongs Here
This category includes a wide variety of air-compression machinery used in workshops, construction sites, and automotive settings. Examples of products found in this category in the US market include portable pancake air compressors, vertical air compressors, rotary screw compressors, oil-lube dolly compressors, and quiet-tech models used for residential or professional tasks. Whether a compressor is stationary or mobile, if its primary function is gas compression, it belongs here.
What Does Not Belong Here
Do not place products that function as specific power tools or hand tools into this category. Items such as nailers and staplers, drills, impact wrenches, grinders, and sanders have their own specific designations within the Tools hierarchy. Furthermore, equipment like log splitters, welding guns, or industrial vibrators must be mapped to their respective categories. If you are selling a tool that performs a specific mechanical task rather than producing compressed air, ensure you verify its classification against the provided list of neighbouring tool categories.
Subcategories
There are no subcategories available for this category; it is the most specific level in the taxonomy.
Feed Implementation
Use the numeric ID 2015 or the full path Hardware > Tools > Compressors. While providing this attribute is optional, it is recommended to ensure accurate Google categorization. Remember that product_type remains a separate, free-form field for your internal organization.
