Tool and application suitability above is general guidance based on typical air consumption, not a performance guarantee. Actual results depend on your tools, air line setup, working pressure and how continuously you run them. If you are unsure whether this compressor suits your specific setup, get in touch before ordering.

Before you order: Requires three-phase power. At 285 kg this needs proper placement and likely mechanical handling on delivery.

Choosing the right option

Choose this if you have three or four operators needing air simultaneously, or a multi-drop ring main in regular use.
Step down if you only have one or two operators. The Ironman 5-150 is more economical for that workload.
Step up if you are running five or more outlets. The Ironman 10-270 is the largest in our range.

Common questions

How many tools can it run at once?

Around three to four, based on 27.2 CFM usable output against typical detailing tool draw of 5 to 7 CFM each. High-draw tools like sanders will reduce that figure.

Why three cylinders instead of two?

More air delivered per revolution at the same pump speed, so the compressor keeps up with multiple simultaneous draws without constantly cycling.

Do I need three-phase power?

Yes, and at 13.6 Amp draw. Confirm your supply has adequate capacity before ordering.

How is it delivered?

At 285 kg it requires mechanical handling. Get in touch to discuss delivery access for your site before ordering.
