Saylor-Beall Diesel Driven Series

Saylor-Beall Diesel Driven Series

The Saylor-Beall Diesel Driven Series is engineered for high-performance air delivery in remote locations where electrical power is unavailable. These units combine Saylor-Beall’s legendary American-made cast iron pumps with industrial-grade diesel engines to provide a rugged, reliable mobile air solution for construction, service trucks, and agricultural use.

The Saylor-Beall Pump Advantage

Every diesel-driven unit is built around a heavy-duty reciprocating pump designed for the most demanding environments:

• 100% Cast Iron Construction: Unlike aluminum alternatives, these pumps feature cast iron cylinders, heads, and crankcases for superior heat dissipation and a much longer service life.
• Splash Lubrication: A time-tested, simple lubrication system that ensures all moving parts are coated in oil, even during heavy-duty cycles.
• Low RPM Design: By running the pump at a lower speed, Saylor-Beall reduces friction and operating temperatures, ensuring the unit can run all day without overheating.
• Balanced Pistons: Precision-balanced components minimize vibration, which is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of your service truck or trailer mount.

Engine Options & Performance

Saylor-Beall typically pairs their pumps with world-class diesel engines to ensure the entire package meets industrial standards:

• Yanmar or Kohler Diesel Engines: These engines are selected for their high torque, fuel efficiency, and global service networks.
• Electric Start: All diesel models come standard with 12V electric start (battery and cables typically sold separately) for effortless operation in cold weather.
• CFM Range: Depending on the configuration, these units deliver between 15 and 35+ CFM, making them capable of powering heavy-duty impact wrenches, grinders, and even small sandblasting setups.

Rugged Configurations

These systems are built to withstand the vibration and exposure common in field work:

• Tank Mounted: Most diesel units are mounted on 30-gallon or 60-gallon ASME horizontal tanks, providing a stable air reserve for surge demands.
• Base Mounted: For custom service truck beds where space is at a premium, base-mounted options allow for integration into existing tool-bed layouts.
• Heavy-Duty Battery Box & Belt Guard: Designed to protect critical components from debris and weather.

Why Choose Diesel?

While gas compressors are common, Diesel-driven Saylor-Bealls offer significantly longer engine life and fuel commonality for crews already running diesel trucks and equipment. They are the “buy it once” solution for heavy-duty field service.
