The NorthStar 8-gallon twin-tank gas-powered portable air compressor is engineered for longevity and heavy-duty work on the job site.

The belt-driven full cast iron two-stage pump features a W-type cylinder design for superior cooling. Low Vibration Technology (LVT) offers smooth operation and floating-type Swedish steel valves for a long valve life. The crankshaft has bearings on both ends for excellent support. It is powered by a NorthStar e300 OHV EFI gasoline engine for reliable performance.
