How to Mount 220V Compressor

[Jayhawk_Aviator]

Have a new 220V 60 gallon compressor ready to mount to my newly epoxied shop floor. Are people:

1) Leaving on the shipping crate
2) Removing from crate and sitting on the floor.
3) Bolting to the floor
4) Attaching to some rubber pads?
5) Something else?

Thanks,
Scott

I have an 80g ingersol. At first i had it bolted to the floor with rubber pads under the feet. It felt like it was shaking the floor. I now have it sitting on larger rubber buhings-actually leaf spring bushings. I have it mounted under some shelves i built, so i just ran some steel cables to keep it from walking. Its been great for years now. I can get a pic tomorrow

Thanks...would be interested in pics of the rubber feet. I;ve debated building a "dog house" aoround it to lower noise. Would be curiuous if anyone has done similar.

heat might be a concern in the summer

is it horizontal or vertical? I have my 80 gallon horizontal compressor on castors. comes in handy for cleaning. behind it.

Eventually I will mount mine to the floor but for now it is still sitting on the pallet. For about 6 months.

Mine is bolted to the floor, don't want it leaping all over the garage during a quake..

Hockey pucks. Countersunk bolts.

**** i forgot, sorry. It kind of like those, but probably a bit softer than those

My 60 gallon Quincy sits with a piece of old baler belt under each leg.

I put my compressor in a cabinet up on the wall. I've got a squirrel cage blower mounted to the outside blowing air right on the pump, though I haven't wired it in yet. Putting as much sound deadening matereail on the cabinet as I can scrounge. The hockey pucks is a idea I'm looking into. And no issues yet.

I did the hockey puck thing when I put mine in. $1ea for blems at the flea market.

my buddy left his on the shipping crate. that was 25 yrs. ago...still sitting there...
