Looks like a good idea to me. I move mine around quite a bit but it is a wheeled model.

Great idea. Right now mine is on a movable base, but not that fancy. I like that idea. Could you please put a tag on this project? Something like “compressor” so I can find it later for reference.
Keep up the good work.

Nice solution for a mobile compressor – and great design.

we made just a rolly-platform for ours. Never thought of a handle!
The one thing I added was a flip-up piece of wood that props the compressor up for draining.
You need to add a license plate to the back as well :)

I do like the license plate idea, maybe a toll tag as well.

Headlights?

It is a great idea, never thought of it. Head lights are not a bad idea, a few rechargeable lights that you can grab when you need extra light on a project. My old eyes seem to need a lot more light these days.

Great Idea! I was just cleaning up the shop yesterday and found 4 wheels like the ones you used. Was going to toss them. Thanks for the idea.

What we need now is a way to quiet the darn thing down. Mine is so noisy you can’t think straight! Which…gives me an idea for a new forum question!

That is a great idea. I may have to copy that.

Nice idea Fred. I should make one for my compressor too.

Put a Pioneer with some 400 watt speakers and I think you have a cruiser here. Great idea for smaller compressors.

I’m wondering if a ventilated baffle box might be good for the noise. Add some fins and some chrome…

Yeah, that’s a good idea. I hate moving my little compressor around. It’s just heavy enough to make me come up with another solution rather than lug it about.

I have one of these mounted on the ceiling and it reaches 25 feet in all directions.
That allows me to park my compressor out of the way except for maintenance.
They are really inexpensive (around $20-25$)
You can run a line to the garage too and start the compressor with a remote.
Of course the means 2 of these!—-will it never end? <g>

You people have such creative ideas. So when is someone going to design it in Sketchup, so we can all make one.

Great Idea! Maybe a locking hinge below the tray and a cover for the tray. Then you could fold it up and take it on jobsites with you. Out back you could even make an extension cord wrap.

That’s a great idea and I really should make one myself. I like to use it for putting air in the car tires and it’s a pain (literally) to carry it from the basement shop to the garage.
