Moving an Air Compressor
We just found a used upright air compressor.
When we pick this up and move it, is there any reason we could not lay it on its side in the bed of the pickup, rather than hauling it upright with the compressor on the top? These things look top-heavy and unstable, but every time I've seen one being transported it was upright (usually on a skid or pallet). Is this like a refrigeration compressor with oil sluicing around and we would need to let it sit for a couple of days to allow the oil to pool back into the sump - or is it likely that we'd damage it just by putting it on its side regardless?
