Default Half done hooking up compressor in the factory

My horizontal compressor stands on carpet on 2x4s and it works great.


My Atlas Copco 3-stage V compressor sits on 2x4s and they sit on 4
casters. Connection to the tank is hydraulic hose. It's a heavy cast
iron thing back in a corner. The casters not only eliminate vibration
to the shop, they also make it possible to wheel the thing out into
the shop to change belts or whatever, rather than standing on my head
back in a corner with a drop light.
