Can I stand up a horizontal oiless compressor?

by Xander
(Fort Myers, FL)

I have a small horizontal CH air compressor. It has 2 wheels on back and handle on front. I had to rearrange my workshop and now do not have room for the compressor in its horizontal state but could stand it on end. The compressor is oiless and electric. Is this possible or do I run a chance of ruining the compressor?

Xander, if yours was an oil lubed compressor I would say definitely not. You wouldn't run your car on it's side, would you?

That yours is oil-less may mean that it could work, but frankly, I just don't know.

Anyone else?

Thanks,

Bill
