I have a Hankison dryer I need to get installed. My plan is to build a angle iron platform to bolt to the wall up near the ceiling to mount the dryer on to get it out of the way.

Note that you typically want the dryer under pressure before you turn it on. I typically leave my compressor pressurized and just turn it off and shut off a valve to the air piping, so I'm putting valves on either side of the dryer. Turn the compressor back on, open the valve to the dryer, turn the dryer on, open the valve to the rest of the system. So the valves will have to be within reach.

Depending how big and where the compressor is i have seen some people mount them above there compressor as most of the time its wasted space.
