Rolair Hand Carry Pancake Style

Rolair Hand Carry Pancake Style

For contractors who need maximum airflow in a portable footprint, these two models represent the heavy-hitters of the Rolair hand-carry lineup. Whether you are working on a remote site without electricity or need the highest possible output from a standard 120V outlet, these units are engineered for high-production framing and roofing.

Model GD5000PV5H (Gas Powered)

The Hand-Carry Powerhouse

The GD5000PV5H is built for the professional who needs total independence from the power grid. Driven by a premium Honda engine, this unit is designed to run multiple framing or roofing guns simultaneously in remote locations.

• Engine: Honda GX160 (163cc) OHV Engine with recoil start—famed for its reliability and easy-start technology.
• Performance: Delivers a massive 11.8 CFM @ 90 PSI, providing enough air for a small crew to work without interruption.
• Pump: Single-stage, cast-iron cylinder with a splash-lubricated pump and stainless-steel reed valves for extreme durability.
• Tank Design: 5-gallon capacity in a “pontoon” style tank configuration.
• Portability: While heavy-duty, it features a balanced handle and a compact frame that allows it to be moved around a jobsite far more easily than a standard tow-behind or large portable unit.
• Best For: New residential framing, remote roofing jobs, and agricultural maintenance.

Model D2002HPV5 (Electric)

The High-Pressure Electric Workhorse

The D2002HPV5 is the go-to solution when you need industrial air volume but have access to a standard 120V power source. It is designed to maximize the potential of a 2 HP electric motor, delivering high-pressure air for demanding pneumatic tools.

• Motor: 2 HP, 3400 RPM heavy-duty motor with built-in overload protection.
• High-Volume Output: Delivers 4.1 CFM @ 90 PSI, ensuring fast recovery times even during rapid-fire nailing.
• Pump: Oil-lubricated, cast-iron cylinder designed for a 100% duty cycle, ensuring the machine doesn’t overheat during a long day of work.
• Tank: 5-gallon “pontoon” tank configuration, offering a larger air reserve than standard twin-stack models to reduce motor cycling.
• Key Feature: Includes a start-stop pressure switch with an “on/off” lever and an unloader valve for smoother starts in colder temperatures.
• Best For: Professional framing, sub-flooring, and large-scale remodeling projects where electric power is available.
