Iron Horse Portable Gasoline Compressors: Untethered Power for the Toughest Job Sites
When the job takes you off the grid, you can’t afford to be limited by extension cords or lack of electrical power. The Iron Horse Portable Gasoline Compressor Lineup is engineered specifically for mobile contractors, remote agricultural work, roofing crews, and heavy-duty service trucks.
Featuring rugged cast-iron pumps, heavy-duty pneumatic or flat-free tires, and premium gas engines ranging from reliable 5.5 HP workhorses up to massive 8.0 HP powerplants, these compressors deliver industrial-grade CFM exactly where you need it. Whether you are running multiple framing nailers on a new build or operating an impact wrench on the side of the highway, Iron Horse provides the raw, untethered power to keep your crew moving.
Two Rugged Tank Configurations
To match your specific mobility needs, this lineup is divided into two distinct, contractor-approved builds:
- The Twin Tank Wheelbarrow (IHTT Series): Designed with dual tanks and a single, heavy-duty front wheel (or dual front wheels), these models offer a low center of gravity. They are perfect for maneuvering across rough job site terrain, through mud, and over debris.
- The 25-Gallon Horizontal (IHP…25H1 Series): Built with a high-capacity 25-gallon horizontal tank, these units are the ultimate solution for service trucks and mobile mechanics. They provide massive air reserves for high-draw tools and mount easily into the back of a truck or van.
Engine & Starting Options to Fit Your Needs
Iron Horse partners with top-tier engine manufacturers, offering a variety of configurations. Models featuring “-BS” are proudly powered by legendary Briggs & Stratton engines for unmatched reliability.
Furthermore, you can choose your preferred starting method:
- “G” Models: Standard, reliable recoil pull-start.
- “GE” Models: Upgraded with an electric start feature, saving your shoulder and ensuring quick, effortless start-ups on cold mornings (battery required).
