Why Choose Schulz?
- Cast Iron Durability: Schulz utilizes cast-iron cylinders and components to ensure their pumps run cooler and remain rebuildable for years of service.
- Honda-Powered Reliability: The gas models feature Honda GX engines, the gold standard for easy starting and fuel efficiency on the jobsite.
- Advanced Safety: Every unit comes equipped with a manual drainage valve, a safety relief valve, and a fully enclosed belt guard (on belt-driven models) for operator protection.
- Balanced Portability: Each frame is designed for a specific use case, ensuring the weight is distributed for easy transport without sacrificing the air storage you need.
Pro Tip: For gas-powered models, always ensure the pilot valve and throttle control are adjusted correctly. Schulz gas units are designed to idle down when full, which significantly reduces noise and fuel costs during downtime on the jobsite.
