Air compressor for trailer

I have a 3000 watt Honda generator. Need to replace my air compressor. My main use for it is my pro-jacks. Not really using air wrenches just blowing out fuel system etc.....

I would like something on wheels to roll out when at the track. There are so many options and most are Chinese built I am sure.

Let me know what is working for you with 3K gen.

 

This is what I use. Not too fancy but will do pro jacks and 1/2" impact. Bought it at O'Riely's.

Get a oil less unit. I had a husky for 5 years. Would run sander for clutch and grinder for emergencies. Pro jacks blow gun impacts. Never was problem. It was a 4.5 hp unit

 

I was just going through this issue myself. I bought a champion 3100 inverter. nice and quiet. I had a 1.5 hp 20 gallon air compressor. the small generator is not big enough to start it. I tried both the 20 gallon and 8 gallon husky air compressors from home depot. both 1.5 hp, and the generator is still too small. Im going to buy a .8 hp 6 gallon that should work. I just use it for my tires. Electric pro jacks may be the best thing I ever bought. generator operates them no problem.

 

Electric Pump

Did you Get the electric Pump from Projack or is there another option?

 

I bought it used and i believe its the one that came from bickel. The yellow pump

 

I have one of the electric yellow pumps in the trailer in case we had air problems i would be willing to sell if interested

 

PM me or email price/pic?

pump

Dave, does this mean you just need to make sure you stop the pump when the cylinders are fully extended? are yours junk or repairable? maybe we can talk about this May 23 at the track....
