In the wood processing industry, equipment reliability is measured by how well it performs miles away from the nearest power outlet. The NorthStar 20 Gallon Air Compressor is engineered to provide a professional-grade air supply that can be easily loaded into a pickup truck or utility trailer. This horizontal unit bridges the gap between small portable tanks and heavy truck-mounts, offering the perfect balance of air volume and mobility for field mechanics and remote contractors who need power on the move.
The engine at the core of this machine is the commercial-grade Honda GX160 OHV. Renowned for its fuel efficiency and easy-pull starting, this engine ensures that your crew isn't wasting time fighting with a pull-cord in cold or damp conditions. For the forestry professional, the Honda GX-series reliability means the NorthStar 20 Gallon Air Compressor will be ready to power your impact wrenches and maintenance tools the moment you reach the landing or the jobsite.
Air delivery is a standout feature for a unit of this size, producing 13.7 CFM at 90 PSI. This high-flow output is sufficient to run multiple framing nailers or heavy-duty impact tools without the constant "pressure lag" found in smaller units. This makes it an ideal solution for repairing timber processing equipment or assembling large wooden structures where consistent pneumatic power is non-negotiable for safety and productivity.
The pump is a full cast iron, single-stage V-type design, which is engineered for superior heat dissipation. By using a V-cylinder configuration, the pump maximizes airflow over the cooling fins, significantly extending the life of the internal components. This is a critical advantage for those working in the high-heat, dusty environments of a rural woodlot where air-cooled equipment is frequently pushed to its thermal limits.
Internal durability is further enhanced by Low Vibration Technology (LVT) and floating-type Swedish steel valves. These valves are more resilient than standard reed valves, maintaining their seal integrity even under high-vibration and high-heat conditions. Furthermore, the crankshaft is supported by high-quality bearings on both ends, providing the structural stability needed to survive the bumps and jolts of being transported over rough logging roads and uneven terrain.
The 20-gallon horizontal tank provides a stable, low-profile footprint that won't tip during transport, while still offering a substantial air reserve for high-torque applications. It features a durable steel belt guard for operator safety and a high-flow regulator to ensure your tools receive maximum air pressure. It is a factual, rugged air solution that fits the mission of Timber Splitter Warehouse by providing professional-grade gear that stands up to the toughest outdoor work.
Commercial Honda GX160 Power
Equipped with the legendary 163cc Honda engine, ensuring easy-pull starts and fuel-efficient performance in remote field locations.
