The 5715K17 and 5520K17A series are the workhorses of the 120V lineup. Featuring the K17 pump, these models are designed to provide maximum air output without exceeding the limits of standard jobsite circuits.

• 5715K17 Series: Features a 1.5 HP motor paired with a 9-gallon tank, balanced for easy transport.
• 5520K17A Series: Steps up the air reserve to a 20-gallon horizontal tank, perfect for minimizing motor cycling during steady use.
• Suffix Guide:
  • -0001: Standard 115V setup.
  • -0002: Cold start/dual control options.
  • -0003 / -0008: Specialized configurations for pressure settings and motor protection.

The MK103 Series: High-Output 2 HP

When you need a faster recovery rate and a more robust pump, the MK103 series delivers. These 2 HP units are designed for high-production framing and roofing crews who require a constant, reliable air supply.

• FC229MK103: A compact, high-output wheeled unit designed for agility on the jobsite.
• 5715MK103-0001: Combines the powerful 2 HP MK103 pump with a 9-gallon tank.
• 5520MK103A-0001: The high-capacity version, pairing the 2 HP pump with a 20-gallon tank.

The 6820 Dual-Voltage Series

The 6820K17D-0001 and 6820MK103D-0001 offer ultimate jobsite versatility. These units are designed to run on either 115V or 230V power, allowing you to adapt to the available electrical source without swapping machines.

The Industrial Shop-Portables (3095, 3230, 5230)

These models are essentially stationary shop compressors mounted on heavy-duty wheeled frames. They are designed for large-scale construction, maintenance departments, and industrial shops.

• 3095K18-0001: A 1.5 HP unit with a 30-gallon tank, optimized for high-volume storage.
• 3230K24CS-0001: Features a 3 HP motor and the high-displacement K24 pump. Designed for 230V operation, this unit delivers the air volume needed for impact wrenches and heavy-duty pneumatic tools.
• 5230K30CS-0001: The powerhouse of the portable lineup. Featuring a 5 HP motor and a 30-gallon tank, this unit is built for the most demanding industrial applications, providing maximum CFM and massive air storage.

Core Professional Features

• Cast-Iron Pumps: Every model features a splash-lubricated cast-iron pump with Swedish steel reed valves for long-term industrial durability.
• Low-RPM Operation: Many models are designed to run at lower speeds, which significantly reduces jobsite noise, vibration, and heat buildup.
• Rugged Frame Design: Built with heavy-gauge steel and oversized wheels to navigate through jobsite debris and over rough terrain with ease.
• Advanced Protection: Equipped with industrial-grade pressure switches, regulators, and gauges, along with thermal overload protection for the motor.

Quick Specification Guide

Pro Tip: For the 3 HP and 5 HP models, ensure your jobsite or shop is equipped with the proper 230V receptacles and circuit breakers to handle the increased power demand of these industrial motors.
