When a feller buncher goes down two miles deep on a muddy skid trail, you can’t always get the service truck close enough to use the main compressor. The DeWalt 4-Gallon Gas Air Compressor bridges that gap. It is the ultimate "grab-and-go" solution for mobile mechanics who need independent, gas-powered air without the weight of a massive wheelbarrow unit.
The heart of this machine is the legendary Honda GX160 commercial engine. Unlike the residential-grade engines found on box-store compressors, the GX160 is built to start on the first pull in freezing temperatures. This reliability is non-negotiable when you are alone on a landing and need to seat a tire bead or power a pneumatic grease gun to tension a track before the sun goes down.
Designed specifically for stability in transport, the unique "pontoon" tank configuration features two 2-gallon tanks side-by-side. This gives the unit a low center of gravity, meaning it won’t tip over in the back of your pickup while bouncing down logging roads. It’s a compact footprint that leaves plenty of room in your truck bed for fuel drums and spare parts.
Performance-wise, it delivers 5.0 CFM at 90 PSI (6.9 CFM at 40 PSI). While this isn’t designed for running 1-inch impacts all day, it is perfect for the essential field tasks: inflating skidder tires, running 1/2" impact wrenches for light repairs, and powering air ratchets. The high-flow regulator and liquid-filled gauges are built to withstand the vibration of the job site, giving you accurate readings every time.
One of the biggest advantages for cold-weather operations is the oil-free, direct-drive pump. Because there is no pump oil to thicken in the winter, this unit avoids the sluggish startups common with belt-drive compressors in sub-zero conditions. It features a patented two-piece cooling system that keeps the pump running cooler than standard direct-drive models, extending the life of the seals.
The DeWalt 4-Gallon Honda Powered Air Compressor is the perfect "second lung" for your operation. It’s light enough for two guys to hand-carry into a tight spot but powerful enough to get a machine back up and running. Add this independent air source to your fleet and ensure you have pressure wherever the job takes you.
Service Truck Stability
Features a unique "pontoon" tank design that provides a low center of gravity, preventing the unit from tipping over in your truck bed while driving down rough logging roads.
Honda GX Reliability
Powered by the commercial-grade Honda GX160 engine, which is legendary for starting on the first pull in cold weather, unlike the cheap residential engines found on box-store units.
Cold Weather Starts
Equipped with an oil-free direct drive pump that eliminates the risk of thickened oil seizing the pump on winter mornings, ensuring immediate air pressure when you need it most.
Remote Access
Weighs approximately 75 lbs with a balanced handle design, allowing two men (or one strong technician) to hand-carry the unit down a skid trail to a stranded machine where a truck can't reach.
Vibration Resistant
Built with liquid-filled pressure gauges that absorb vibration, giving you an accurate, steady reading even when the compressor and your service truck are running.
Tire Seating Power
Delivers a maximum pressure of 155 PSI, providing the initial "pop" needed to seat the bead on a tubeless skidder or truck tire in the field.
Pump Longevity
Engineered with a patented 2-piece cooling system that lowers operating temperatures, preventing the overheating issues common with standard direct-drive pumps during extended use.
