Bendpak RJ-45 Rolling Jack

[Sarki]

Getting down to final decision on lift purchase and another variable comes up.
Want to include purchase of RJ-45 Rolling Jack but learning my new to me compressor may not have what it takes to power up the RJ-45.
I have Ingersoll-Rand 2HP Single Stage compressor with 20 gal tank with capacity @ 90 psi / 135 psi: 5.2 cfm / 4.6 cfm with a maximum pressure of 135 psi.
I'm told the minimum to operate the RJ-45 is 125 psi and 12 cfm.
Can you guys with RJ-45 jack comment on that or let me know if you are using similar sized compressor without issues.
Link below to the exact compressor I would be running with the RJ-45.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, when the compressor tank is supplying the air, it just pushes into a small cylinder inside the jack. (you basically have unlimited CFM for sometime, unlimited as in as much as the fitting will flow).

Same size of compressor as yours and it runs my RJ-45 no problem.

Hey thanks Mister68 and PoorOwner, good news indeed.
A call to Bendpak as well as Ingersoll-Rand was not very helpful.
Leave it to GJ brothers to come through with real deal info!

I operate my RJ45 with a Craftsman 2 stage 26 Gal that only has 5.5 CFM at 90 PSI and it works just fine.

I have powered mine with a 2 hp 15 gal husky at 90psi with no problem. I think you'll be fine.

Hey guys thanks for responses, compressor sounds like a none issue.
Do I need to purchase air line kit from Bendpak or do most source this out locally. If sourced locally what's needed as I'd like to have on hand when installing.
I don't have my shop setup with airlines so no water separators or oilers. Can I just run air from compressor to RJ or is that not good idea.

 

[Z2V]

I just put my air line on and lift the car then remove the air line until I'm done working. As far as water separator goes you can use something like this until you get your garage plumbed.

You can get a coil hose and just connect it when you are ready to lift the bridge jack.

The coil makes it flexible under the ramps

Don't buy their air kit. I have heard it is not worth it for what it is. You can do better running a IR regulator and some rapid air line under where you need it.

Hey Poor-as far as a 25' coil hose, 1/4" or 3/8" air line and related fittings?

 

[PoorOwner]

I would do 3/8 coil if you can find it. Imagine you used the air jack. Disconnect the coupler and coil hose. Now you can put it on your impact gun to remove the wheel. (Not the best air flow but it could work)
I used type T (industrial) fitting. Not the little ones that come on nailers. You can find that at HD.
