Eagle Gas-Powered Truck Mount Air Compressors

Eagle Gas-Powered Truck Mount Air Compressors: The Ultimate Fleet Solution

When your job site changes every day, you need shop-level air power that travels with you. Eagle’s extensive lineup of gas-powered, truck-mounted air compressors (the TRKE series) is engineered specifically for mobile mechanics, agricultural service trucks, and heavy-duty field contractors.

Built around rugged, ASME-certified horizontal air tanks and heavy-duty cast-iron pumps, these units provide massive CFM output to run 1-inch impact wrenches, plasma cutters, and heavy pneumatic tools entirely off the grid.

The Eagle TRKE DNA: What Every Model Shares

No matter which horsepower or engine configuration you choose, the entire TRKE lineup is built to withstand the punishing vibration and exposure of being mounted to a service bed.

• “TRKE” Designation: Stands for Truck Mount, Key Electric start. Every model features a hassle-free electric start system (battery cables included) with manual pull-start backups.
• Cast Iron Pumps: Oil-lubricated, heavy-duty cast-iron cylinders ensure rapid heat dissipation and maximum longevity under continuous use.
• High-Durability Features: Equipped with liquid-filled pressure gauges, high-efficiency metal air filters, extended oil drains, and robust metal belt guards.
• Automatic Idle Control: Saves fuel and reduces wear by automatically dropping engine RPMs when the tanks reach maximum pressure.

Demystifying the Model Numbers

Eagle custom-builds these compressors with a variety of industry-leading engines and pump configurations to match your specific fleet requirements and brand preferences. Here is how to read the model codes:

• The Prefix (9G, 11G, 13G, 14G, 18G): Indicates the Engine Horsepower (9 HP to 18 HP).
• The Middle (30 or 55): Indicates the Tank Capacity in gallons.
• The Suffix (Engine/Pump Type):
  • -H: Honda GX Commercial Engine
  • -VG: Vanguard Commercial Engine
  • -KP: Kohler Command Pro Engine
  • -BS: Briggs & Stratton Engine
  • -V4: Upgraded V-Style 4-Cylinder Air Pump
  • (Models with no engine suffix utilize Eagle’s highly reliable standard OEM engines).

The Lineup Breakdown

The 9 HP Class: Mobile Agility

Models: 9G30TRKE, 9G30TRKE-H, 9G30TRKE-H-VG, 9G30TRKE-H-KP, 9G30TRKE-VG The 9-horsepower series strikes the perfect balance between footprint and power. Mounted on a 30-gallon tank, these units are ideal for standard 1/2-ton to 3/4-ton service trucks. Producing up to 18 CFM at 100 PSI, they easily handle standard impact tools, tire inflation, and general blow-off tasks.

• Choose your power: Available with standard engines, legendary Honda GX270s (-H), Vanguard (-VG), or Kohler (-KP) configurations.

The 11 HP to 14 HP Class: The Heavy Hitters

Models: 11G30TRKE, 11G30TRKE-H, 13G30TRKE, 14G30TRKE, 14G30TRKE-BS, 14G30TRKE-KP, 14G30TRKE-VG Stepping up to the 11-14 HP range gives you the air volume needed for heavy commercial farming, heavy equipment repair, and running multiple tools simultaneously. Mounted on 30-gallon tanks, these units push up to 32 CFM at 100 PSI and feature 175–200 Max PSI ratings.

The V4 Upgrades: Ultimate Smoothness & CFM

Models: 13G30TRKE-V4, 14G30TRKE-V4-KP, 14G30TRKE-V4-VG If you demand the absolute highest air recovery rates in a 30-gallon footprint, the -V4 models are the answer. Instead of a standard 2-cylinder or 3-cylinder pump, these utilize a massive V-style 4-cylinder cast-iron pump. This design runs incredibly smooth, drastically reduces vibration on your truck bed, and pumps out an impressive 35+ CFM to keep up with the most demanding sandblasting or 1-inch drive impacts.

The 18 HP Class: The undisputed King of the Fleet

Model: 18G55TRKE When a 30-gallon tank isn’t enough, you bring in the 18G55TRKE. This is a massive 55-gallon, 18-horsepower behemoth designed for dedicated mechanics’ trucks and heavy industrial field service. Powered by an 18 HP twin-cylinder engine and a V-style 3-cylinder compressor head, it produces an industry-leading 36 CFM and a maximum pressure of 200 PSI. This unit allows an entire crew to run tools simultaneously without ever waiting for air.
