I try to tell it like it is. I have lots of compressor experience. Yet, I do not have any experience using or working on tow behind air compressors. You know the ones? You can see them everywhere on construction sites and on road construction. Ever had any road construction where you are? :-)
The owners of tow behind air compressors have issues with them too. I am hoping that, since I get quite a few questions about the construction type, wheeled, portable air compressors, that having a forum to share your experience or to ask a question will help.
Here are issues and comments about tow behind air compressors from actual users. I hope that their postings can help solve your problem. If no answer is found then please feel free to post a question of your own and maybe among all of us we can find an answer for you.
Since I lack experience with these beasts, if you have one, and see a posting that you can help with, I would sure appreciate a comment.
Thanks a bunch,
Bill
