Talk about portability; this low profile design and fully-pneumatic tire make this Heavy-Duty 1.5 Horse power, 8 gallon Electric Compressor extremely easy to maneuver. We can't forget about the twin cylinder, cast iron, oil lubricated pump with Emglo's 50 years of proven durability and reliability. The on/off constant run design will help keep you from tripping breakers. Just a side note, if you are going to run this compressor off of a generator, remember to use the 30 amp. Plug and get a pigtail to split it down to 110 volts.
