DeWalt 5.5 hp 8 Gallon Gas Wheelbarrow Air Compressor | Honda GX160 | 9.9 CFM

Ultimate Mobile Air Power for Remote Forestry Operations

When your equipment breaks down in the back forty, you can't rely on an extension cord to get you back up and running. This gas-powered compressor is the ultimate mobile service station for loggers, firewood processors, and heavy equipment operators. It delivers massive industrial air power anywhere your truck or ATV can go, ensuring you can service skid steers, feller bunchers, and harvesters directly at the stump.

The heart of this beast is the legendary Honda GX160 OHV engine, known specifically for its easy starting in cold weather and fuel efficiency. This commercial-grade engine drives the DeWalt 5.5 hp 8 Gallon Gas Wheelbarrow Air Compressor, providing the reliability you need when you are miles from the nearest shop. The engine features an Oil Alert system that automatically shuts down if oil levels get low, protecting your investment on uneven terrain.

Raw power is what sets this unit apart from standard portable units. Delivering a massive 9.9 CFM at 90 PSI and a maximum pressure of 150 PSI, it has the lung capacity to run heavy-duty 3/4-inch impact wrenches continuously. You can bust rusted lug nuts on timber trailers, change cutting teeth on a processor, or inflate heavy-ply skidder tires without waiting for the tank to catch up.

Mobility is critical when the ground is covered in roots, rocks, and mud. The wheelbarrow-style twin-tank design features a center-mounted, 10-inch flat-free tire that creates a low center of gravity. This allows a single person to maneuver the unit easily over rough logging roads or through a muddy landing, bringing air power right to the problem.

Durability is engineered into every component to withstand the abuse of the timber industry. The pump features a cast iron, twin-cylinder, oil-lubricated design with a "V-style" cylinder orientation that eliminates hotspots and provides consistent cooling. The belt drive system spins a 12-inch balanced flywheel that acts as a fan, keeping the pump cool even during extended run times in the summer heat.

This unit is built for the professional who demands total independence from the grid. It includes a high-flow regulator, high-visibility gauges, and a liquid-filled pressure gauge for accurate readings in high-vibration environments. The DeWalt 5.5 hp 8 Gallon Gas Wheelbarrow Air Compressor is the definitive choice for forestry pros who need heavy-duty pneumatic power that goes wherever the work takes them.
