Hi
Sorry about this but ive been asked a question at work and thought this is the place for answers so hope someone can help.
Does anyone know of a portable compressor that can be van mounted and heres the crutch supply 140 cfm.
I would be grateful for advice as i am a complete novice on such matters.
cheers

Compair do towable compressors up to 952cfm.
They have a model C42 which is 148cfm @ 7bar.

Hi
sorry should have made my request clearer.
Compressor i'm after is one that can be carried in a van but is also portable.
We are trying to get away from the tow alongs.
iv'e been looking into the fixed compressors that run from a pto but this then deflects from the portable requirements.
Thanks zzr1200 for links much appreciated.
And i know what your thinking he doesn't want much.
As my gandad used to say "Lad if you don't ask no ****** will tell ya"

You'll be lucky. 140CFM is a big unit. 415v 3phase. Or a bloody gret diesel. and neither are going to be portable.

What you using them for. Shotblasting?

 

[Gary900r]

Remove axle and towing gear from a towable unit. Will still weigh over 1/2 a tonne.

In answer to your question its very similar to the shot blasting process but not on anything that you would think of its a new proccess we are developing for use in the water industry thats all i can say really.
Any way as i said if yoiu dont ask you dont find out.
cheers

Buy a large Merc Sprinter type van fit a winch in the back and pull a towable up a set of ramps. That way the compressor is locked in the van, its portable as any 140 cfm compressor will be....
The only other way would be to swop the van for a tractor with a pto driven compressor unit, but it may be a bit slow travelling to site.

And i know what your thinking he doesn't want much.

Correct............

Good Luck

A mate of mine bought a transit jumbo a while back,it has a compressor run from a pto built in,as it was taking up space, he wanted to sell it but gave up on the idea because of the complexity of removing it ,prob not 140cfm mind !.....i think towable and diesel,is still the easiest and cheapest solution,sorry
