Rolair Single Tank Hand Carry

Rolair Single Tank Hand Carry

For contractors and DIYers who prioritize a smaller footprint without sacrificing the legendary Rolair build quality, these single-tank models offer the ultimate in portability. This lineup ranges from ultra-quiet interior finish tools to high-speed recovery units designed for fast-paced trim work.

Model JC10PLUS

The Quietest in the Game

The JC10PLUS is the gold standard for finish carpenters working in occupied homes or offices. Building on the success of the original JC10, this “PLUS” version is designed for maximum portability and silence.

• Ultra-Quiet: Operates at only 60 decibels—literally quieter than a standard household conversation.
• Oil-Less Design: The dual-piston pump requires no oil, making it maintenance-free and safe to transport in any orientation without worrying about spills.
• Tank: 2.5-gallon lightweight aluminum tank (rust-resistant).
• Best For: Interior trim, cabinetry, and inflating tires where noise levels are a primary concern.

Model JC20

The High-Capacity Silent Partner

If you love the silence of the JC10 but need a bit more “buffer” before the motor kicks back on, the JC20 is the answer. It utilizes a similar low-RPM, oil-free motor but pairs it with a larger air reserve.

• Performance: 2 HP motor delivering 4.6 CFM @ 90 PSI.
• Increased Storage: Features a 5-gallon horizontal tank, allowing for longer run times between cycles compared to its smaller siblings.
• Low Maintenance: Features the same durable oil-free pump technology as the JC10PLUS.
• Best For: Larger trim projects or workshops where you need consistent air for multiple tools but still want to keep the decibels low.

Model AB5 “Airborne” PLUS

The Ultimate Lightweight

The AB5PLUS is designed for the professional who is constantly on the move. Weighing in at only 26 lbs, it is built to be carried up ladders and into tight crawlspaces without breaking your back.

• Portability: A compact, roll-cage design with a protected control panel.
• Oil-Less Pump: Features a 1/2 HP motor optimized for “one-gun” finish work.
• Tank: 1.5-gallon capacity with a fast recovery time.
• Best For: Punch-list items, air brushing, and light-duty trim work where weight is the most important factor.

Model FC1500HS3

The High-Speed Finisher

The FC1500HS3 (High Speed) is built for those who don’t have time to wait for their air to catch up. Unlike the JC series, this is an oil-lubricated industrial unit designed for longevity and rapid-fire tool use.

• High Output: Despite its small size, it delivers 3.4 CFM @ 90 PSI thanks to its high-speed 1.5 HP motor.
• Industrial Pump: Features a cast-iron cylinder for better heat dissipation and a much longer lifespan than residential-grade units.
• Tank: 3-gallon heavy-duty steel tank.
• Best For: Professional finish carpenters who want the durability of an oil-lubricated pump in a compact, single-tank form factor.
