Saylor-Beall Gas Driven Series

Saylor-Beall Gas Driven Series

The Saylor-Beall Gas Driven Series is the industry standard for field service, construction, and remote locations where electrical power is not an option. These compressors pair Saylor-Beall’s legendary cast iron pump technology with industrial-grade gasoline engines, creating a mobile air power plant built to survive the harshest environments.

Rugged Pump Engineering

These units are powered by the same heavy-duty pumps found in our stationary industrial lines, optimized for mobile vibration and variable loads:

• 100% Cast Iron Construction: The pump cylinders, heads, and crankcases are made of cast iron to ensure maximum heat dissipation and structural integrity under heavy duty cycles.
• Low-Speed Operation: By utilizing a large-displacement pump running at a lower RPM, these units minimize wear and heat buildup, extending the life of the compressor significantly compared to high-speed alternatives.
• Splash Lubrication: A reliable, simple system that ensures consistent lubrication of the connecting rods and crankshaft, even on uneven job-site terrain.

Industrial Engine Integration

Reliability in the field depends on the engine. We utilize proven, world-class engine brands known for their starting reliability and power-to-weight ratio:

• Honda or Kohler Engines: These engines are selected for their durability, easy-start capabilities, and widespread service networks, ensuring that you are never left without air on a job site.
• Electric or Recoil Start: Available with electric start options for seamless operation, integrating easily with your existing truck or trailer battery systems.
• Centrifugal Unloader: Included standard, this mechanism ensures no-load starting, preventing high-torque strain on the engine during startup and extending the life of your drive belts.

Standard vs. Performance Packages

Standard Package

Equipped with the essentials for immediate use:

• ASME Horizontal Tank: Typically available in 30-gallon or 60-gallon configurations for necessary air storage.
• Heavy-Duty Belt Guard: Fully enclosed for safety and to protect the flywheel from field debris.
• Industrial Air Intake Filter: Sized to protect the pump in dusty outdoor environments.

Performance Package (FP)

The premium choice for professional field service:

• Air-Cooled Aftercooler: Critical for removing moisture before it enters your air lines, protecting your pneumatic tools from rust and slugging.
• Automatic Tank Drain: Eliminates the daily chore of draining the tank, preventing internal corrosion.
• Vibration Isolator Pads: Reduces mechanical shock to the service truck or trailer bed.
• Quiet Intake Filter: Oversized housing to manage intake noise in populated job sites.

Why Choose Saylor-Beall Gas Drive?

When you are on a remote job site, your equipment is your lifeline. The Saylor-Beall Gas Drive series is not built to be the cheapest unit; it is built to be the last compressor you buy for your service truck. By combining a “slow-running” cast iron pump with a top-tier engine, we offer a system that handles high-torque demand and continuous operation without the typical premature failures of light-duty portable compressors.
