Rolair Compressor with Folding Handle 2.5HP

Description

Heavy-duty cast-iron pump pistons drive the Rolair 2.5HP Folding Handle Compressor to supply dependable air volume across residential framing jobsites, roofing projects, and remodel sites. A commercial 2.5 HP induction motor powers an oil-lubricated cast-iron pump producing 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI across a horizontal 5.3-gallon cart-style tank up to 135 PSI. Framing contractors run two framing nailers simultaneously with rapid tank recovery. Sized for rough terrain, the wheeled cart compressor operates on standard 115V power.

Recovery Cycle Dynamic Bench Limits

Flowmeter bench testing confirms delivered air output measures 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI and 6.5 CFM at 40 PSI, supporting two framing carpenters bump-firing nailers at production speeds cleanly. Tank pump-up from zero to 135 PSI cut-out completes in 72 seconds, with recovery cycle time from 105-PSI cut-in to 135-PSI cut-out clocking at 19 seconds across the 5.3-gallon tank. The low-RPM cast-iron pump runs at 1050 RPM, holding cylinder head temperatures below 160 degrees Fahrenheit during multi-hour testing runs.

Solid ASTM Class 30 cast iron forms the twin-cylinder pump block, crankcase, and deep-finned cylinder head, delivering superior thermal conductivity and long cylinder bore life. Heavy-gauge certified steel forms the horizontal 5.3-gallon tank, finished in Rolair’s green powder coat. Ten-inch semi-pneumatic wheels and a folding steel handle provide jobsite mobility. Sized for contractor trailers, the wheeled cart compressor weighs 98 lbs, measuring 32 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 24 inches high.

• Commercial 2.5 HP electric motor features manual thermal overload reset protection and reliable 115V 1-phase operation cleanly.
• Folding steel handle and ten-inch semi-pneumatic wheels provide smooth mobility across cracked jobsite dirt and compact storage cleanly.
• Heavy-gauge wire belt guard encloses moving pulleys and belts, shielding shop technicians from mechanical pinch points squarely.

Framing Cart Negative Selection Filter

The industrial glass oil sight gauge provides immediate visual verification of proper crankcase lubricant level before shift starts. Do not purchase this 1-stage compressor for industrial sandblasting requiring over 15 CFM continuously, commercial multi-booth paint lines, or sharing circuits with other heavy shop machinery. Routine maintenance requires draining condensed tank moisture daily through the bottom brass ball valve, checking oil levels weekly, and changing synthetic compressor oil every 500 operating hours.
