Ingersoll Rand P185 Tow Behind Compressor

There are probably tens of thousands of Ingersoll Rand P185 tow behind air compressors in use and for sale around the world. I have not been able to get any specific information on this venerable compressor from IR, except that it’s a portable – being that it’s a towed air compressor – and that it’s supposed to provide 185 CFM of air flow when running optimally.

What’s here on this Ingersoll Rand P185 Tow Behind Compressor page?

• status on the P185
• a 185 compressor manual and parts manual for no-charge download
• library of questions and responses
• section to ask your own question about this model and get help from other users

It appears as though Ingersoll Rand is no longer selling portable construction compressors, preferring to manufacture and sell construction equipment like jackhammers and what not as well as industrial air compressors.

We understand that the portable construction compressor business was sold to Doosan Portable Power. If you have information confirming this, we would appreciate an update via the comment form below.

In the absence of troubleshooting information for the P185 family of Ingersoll Rand compressors, I am providing a forum here for users to post questions and respond if they can.
