5.5 HP 145 PSI Gas Engine Wheelbarrow Portable Air Compressor By Quincy - G15H8WQ

Quincy G15H8WQ: 5.5 HP Honda gas wheelbarrow compressor for jobsites without power

This is the compressor for framing, roofing, siding, fencing and deck crews that work where there is no electrical service: new construction before the temporary panel is in, rural and agricultural sites, and remote repair work. The Quincy G15H8WQ puts a cast iron twin cylinder single stage pump and a 5.5 HP Honda GX160 on a wheelbarrow frame with twin 4 gallon tanks, 143 lb total, so one person can wheel it across a lot or lift it into a truck with a helper.

What 9.5 CFM at 90 PSI runs: two framing nailers or roofing nailers working at a normal pace, a siding nailer plus a stapler, a blow gun, or one 3/8 inch impact wrench in short bursts. It is not a sandblasting or continuous grinding compressor, and it is not meant to run a 1/2 inch impact all day. Working pressure is 115 to 145 PSI, and the engine auto idle drops the throttle when the tanks are full, which saves fuel and makes it quieter between nails. The 0.825 gallon fuel tank gives several hours of intermittent nailing per fill.

Ownership notes: run it on fresh gasoline with the Honda oil alert topped up, drain both tanks at the end of every day (each tank has its own drain), and keep the pump intake filter clean. The two 1/4 inch NPT outlets take standard industrial couplers; add a 3/8 inch hose and an inline filter for nailers. It ships by freight on a pallet. If the site has 115 volt power, the electric Quincy Q12124VPQ is the same class of machine without the fuel.

Manufacturer description

Jobsite air you can wheel anywhere. The Quincy G15H8WQ is a gas-driven, single-stage reciprocating air compressor built into a balanced wheelbarrow frame, powered by a commercial 5.5 HP Honda GX160 engine.

Built For The Jobsite

Quincy Compressor designed the G15H8WQ for contractors who need reliable air where there is no power drop. Twin 4-gallon horizontal tanks keep the center of gravity low, and sturdy handles with a pneumatic wheel make it genuinely easy to move across rough ground.

Key Features and Benefits

• Low 1250 RPM operation for reduced wear and cooler running.
