Elevated Air Compressor Saves Shop Space

Elevated Air Compressor Saves Shop Space FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 23-5-40 "We needed more floor and wall space in our shop so we mounted our air compressor up out of the way, 10 ft. off the floor," says Ken Brecht, Moorcroft, Wyo., who built a heavy steel platform to hold the compressor. Brecht installed a new electric junction box 10 ft. up the wall. "Mounting the compressor up high keeps the air intake out of the dust and also reduces some of the compressor noise when it's running," says Brecht. "We keep a parts washing tank under the compressor. It's a better use of the space." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ken Brecht, 353 A McKean Rd., Moorcroft, Wyo. 82721 (ph 307 756-9309).
