Similar models compared

Some models share almost identical names and specifications. Here is what actually separates them.

Ironman 5-150 vs Ironman 5-200V

Identical pump, motor and output. The only real difference is tank size and orientation.

Ironman 5-150

$3,190.00

150L horizontal tank. Lower profile, needs more floor space. Choose this if ceiling height is limited.

Ironman 5-200V

$3,221.43

200L vertical tank. 50L more reserve in a smaller floor footprint. Choose this if floor space is limited.

Both deliver 17.9 CFM free air delivery and require three-phase power. This is purely a space decision, not a performance one.

CPRC 3-100 vs Ironman 3-100

Same 3 HP motor, same 100L tank, same 15 Amp supply. The difference is pump construction.

CPRC 3-100

$1,100.00

Standard duty belt-driven pump. Suits regular trade use and lighter commercial workloads.

Ironman 3-100

$1,489.71

Heavy duty cast iron pump, slower turning, 2 year pump warranty. Built for daily commercial duty.

If the compressor runs daily in a working business, the Ironman cast iron pump will last considerably longer. For lighter or occasional use, the CPRC is the more economical choice.

CPRC 2.5-50 vs Ironman 2-50

Both 50L tanks on a standard 10 Amp supply. Again, pump construction is the difference.

CPRC 2.5-50

$880.00

2.5 HP standard duty belt-driven pump. Higher motor rating, lower price.

Ironman 2-50

$1,186.43

2 HP heavy duty cast iron pump, 2 year pump warranty. Lower motor rating but built to last longer.

The CPRC has the larger motor and lower price. The Ironman trades some motor rating for a cast iron pump and longer service life. Choose based on how hard you will work it.

Whisper 2-50 vs CPRS 3-270, both described as quiet

Both are low-noise options, but built for completely different workloads.

Whisper 2-50

$746.43

Oil-free, 42kg, runs on a standard 10 Amp outlet. Built for intermittent use, mobile work and home garages.

CPRS 3-270

$5,185.71

Oil-lubricated, 175kg, needs 15 Amp. Built for continuous professional use with a 270L reserve.

Both sit around 65 dB(A), but the Whisper is a light-duty portable unit while the CPRS is a fixed professional installation. Pick based on workload, not noise alone.

Not sure which type is right for you?

Oil-free, oil-lubricated, or silent, each suits a different way of working. Read the full breakdown before you choose.
