Emglo Compressors announces the launch of two new heavy-duty, 1.1 HP, four-gallon air compressors. The Heavy-Duty Four-Gallon Stacked Tank Contractor Air Compressor (E810-4V) and Heavy-Duty Four-Gallon Dolly-Style Stacked Tank (EM810-4M) incorporate features designed to address contractors’ frustrations with performance, durability and reliability on the jobsite.
The new Emglo compressors are designed for the trim carpenter, remodeler, framer, roofer or flooring professional, and they can support up to four brad or finish nailers or two framing, roofing or flooring nailers at once without compromising performance.
“Utilizing over 50 years of expertise in air compressors, the new Emglo heavy-duty compressors offer contractors dependable, robust features and service,” said James Vintzel, group product manager, Emglo Compressors. “After talking to contractors about what they need in a compressor, we delivered a tool that is easy to use and durable enough for virtually any jobsite.”
Durability/Reliability
The E810-4V and EM810-4M both come equipped with oil-lubricated pumps with cast iron cylinders that help to enhance pump life and provide durability during operation. For trouble-free maintenance, both units also come with a site glass, allowing contractors to easily check the oil at a glance. Additionally, there is easy access to the crankcase for quick and thorough oil draining.
The units’ heavy-duty, reinforced frames allow the compressors to withstand virtually any jobsite conditions. Emglo Compressors designed the EM810-4M with a full, wrap-around frame to help to prevent accidental damage to the pump and motor. A protected control panel shields gauges and couplers from routine wear and tear, and provides professionals an easy to read dashboard.
Performance
For performance on the jobsite, the 1.1 HP motors of the E810-4V and EM810-4M produce 4.0 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) at 90 pounds per square inch (PSI). Dual soft-start valves answer contractors’ needs for quick cold weather or extension cord starts. High flow regulators and couplers minimize pressure drop for consistent worksite use and couplers are universal push-to-connect type, which are easy to use. The EM810-4M features a second coupler to facilitate adding a second user. Finally, each unit carries an 83 decibel (dBA)* industry tested noise rating, for a pleasing work environment (* tested per ISO3744).
Ease of Use
Emglo Compressors specifically designed the E810-4V and EM810-4M for easy maneuverability around the jobsite. The smaller, E810-4V weighs only 56 lbs. and features an angled handle for well-balanced portability.
The EM810-4M is 88 lbs. and equipped with a built-in wheel kit featuring two 10 inch pneumatic tires with metal hubs and a solid axle that enables transportation around any terrain – over lumber and nails and through rocks, mud and water. The unit’s handle is collapsible, to aid in storage. In addition, a built-in transport deck allows the compressor to carry up to 100 lbs. of additional tools, including storage boxes, pneumatics, hoses, sawhorses, miter saws or even another compressor. The EM810-4M is also outfitted with a built-in cord wrap that acts as a convenient storage option, and both units feature a ball drain valve for quick and easy tank draining.
The hand-carry Emglo E810-4V is available now at Lowe’s and carries a suggested retail price of $259.00. The Emglo EM810-4M will be available in September 2011 and will carry a suggested retail price of $349.00. The heavy-duty air compressors are backed with a one-year limited warranty.
