Saylor-Beall 2 HP Pressure-Lubricated 720 Series
The Saylor-Beall 720 Series is a robust, industrial-grade compressor designed for shops that need a step up in air volume without moving to a massive footprint. It utilizes the legendary Model 705 pump, a two-stage, all-cast-iron powerhouse built for continuous reliability.
Tank Configuration Options
The 720 series is available in both vertical and horizontal orientations to fit your specific shop layout:
- Horizontal Tank Models: Ideal for placement under workbenches or in areas where a low center of gravity is preferred for stability.
- Vertical Tank Models (VT): The perfect solution for saving floor space, allowing you to tuck the unit into a corner while keeping the workspace open.
Both orientations are offered in two standard sizes:
- 60-Gallon: A balanced choice for standard pneumatic tasks and intermittent tool use.
- 80-Gallon: The industrial preference, providing a larger air buffer that reduces motor starts and stops, keeping the pump cooler during heavy use.
Choose Your Lubrication System
To match your specific duty cycle, Saylor-Beall offers two distinct oiling methods:
- Splash-Lubricated (Standard 720): Simple and dependable. It uses dippers on the connecting rods to distribute oil throughout the crankcase. This is the time-tested standard for most automotive and light industrial applications.
- Pressure-Lubricated (PL-720): Engineered for the most demanding environments. This version includes a positive displacement oil pump and a spin-on oil filter. It forces clean, filtered oil directly to the crankshaft and rod bearings, ensuring maximum protection during long run times or multi-shift operations.

Why Choose the 720 Series?
The 720 stands out because it uses a large-bore pump running at a very low RPM. While many 2 HP compressors run at high speeds to create air, the Saylor-Beall 720 produces more volume with less heat and noise. This “slow-running” philosophy ensures the machine will outlast standard consumer-grade units by decades.
