NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor | Honda GX390 | 24.4 CFM
Maximum Air Volume for Remote Heavy Equipment Maintenance
Mechanical failure in the field is a race against the clock in the forestry industry. The NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor turns any service truck into a high-performance repair bay. Built for permanent truck-bed installation, it provides the high-capacity air required for major on-site repairs.
Powering this industrial workhorse is the Honda GX390 OHV engine, the professional standard for field reliability. It features an integrated 3-amp charging system that maintains your battery while the engine runs, ensuring the electric start is always ready. This NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor is designed specifically to survive the vibration of life on a utility rig.
The performance specs are massive, producing a staggering 24.4 CFM at 90 PSI. This airflow allows for simultaneous tool use or the operation of high-consumption 1-inch impact wrenches. With a 175 PSI maximum rating, it provides the force needed to seat heavy equipment tires and break loose high-torque bolts.
Durability is centered on the two-stage, full cast iron V-type pump. By compressing air in two stages, the pump operates more efficiently and runs cooler than single-stage models. This is critical for forestry pros working in high-heat or dusty environments where equipment fatigue is a constant threat.
Internal components feature floating-type Swedish steel valves, globally recognized for extreme heat resistance. These valves maintain a perfect seal under high-pressure cycles, extending the pump's service life. Additionally, the crankshaft is supported by bearings on both ends to prevent premature wear during heavy use.
Precision monitoring is handled by a liquid-filled pressure gauge that protects against accuracy-killing pressure spikes. The NorthStar 30-gallon horizontal tank is ASME-certified, meeting all safety requirements for commercial vehicle mounting. It is a rugged, factual solution for those who demand the most reliable air power available.
Why Choose Thew Northstar 30 Gallon Gas Powered Air Compressor?
