It's just a bar you add to the box. Boxes will usually have a spot for one.

There's one of those IR compressors sitting at work. They bought a bunch of stuff at an auction, and it came with the package. It had a bunch of water in it though, or I'd be asking about putting it in an F150.

I am putting a Square D sub panel in my garage. Already bought it, just need to get to doing it.

They aren't the best on the market but far from the worst...it will last my life time. They could charge more for those units and get it. And it's no louder than a sewing machine...that's a blessing right there.

Water in the tank ?

That why I went w/dual 80 gal. They are pretty much trouble free once you hit 80 gal with a 5 horse. Two stations fortified with Parker/WATTS set ups, One paint/blast and hypertherm station.

That compressor was a grand from TSC...it's been solid. They still carry them today.

It's fairly new. I want to say the tank says 2021 if I remember correctly. It had a decent amount of water in it though.

It's still mounted to the pallet it came with/on.

That's alright ALA the tank is good. That's what you're concerned about correct?

So it's an upright...60, 80 gal ? Or a little Garage Mate lol. That's what they named the smallest one in that line.

It's a 60 or 80.... I'm not certain. I'll take a look and see for sure.

Unless things are different now , you had to go with a 80 gal to get a 2 stage. Champion and Salor Beall which are still at the top had a 2 stage 60. Huh, I noticed IR has some new machines now.
But same players for the most part, Shultz, Atlas, Kellogg, Curtis. I see Quincy is still in business but their prices are way down where they should be lol.

About a single stage 60. It's a high RPM machine that heats up quickly, produces a lot of water in the process. They are also louder. They need to run that way to maintain their SCFM rating.

A two stage is a huge jump ahead. The run slow but produce high SCFM. They run much cooler. Pretty sure Salor Beall or Champion don't break 1000 Rpms developed.

Those are nice machines. I have to wear ear plugs running my little Porter Cable Pancake compressor. It's also a energy hog...cheap cheap cheap. Use that with the nail guns for the most part.

Anyway yeah, check it out white, might be worth inquiring about.
