Highlights

Ideal For

• Mobile Mechanic Rigs: Engineered specifically for permanent mounting on service trucks that require massive air volume for heavy-duty field repairs and fleet maintenance.
• Large-Scale Forestry Operations: The primary air source for remote landings, capable of running multiple 1-inch impact wrenches simultaneously to service log loaders and skidders.
• Agricultural Maintenance: A rugged solution for large farms and ranches that need to seat beads on tractor tires or run high-consumption pneumatic tools far from the shop.
• Construction & Infrastructure: Ideal for bridge work and road crews where high-PSI and high-CFM are non-negotiable for sandblasting or air-arc gouging.
• Stationary Backup Power: Excellent as a primary compressor for off-grid sawmills or workshops that rely on gas power rather than an electrical hookup.

'Need to Knows'

• Massive Air Delivery: Produces an industry-leading 24.4 CFM @ 90 PSI, ensuring you never have to wait for the tank to catch up during high-demand bolt-busting or grinding tasks.
• Commercial Honda GX390 Power: Features the legendary 389cc engine with an integrated 3-Amp charging system, allowing it to maintain the battery for the electric start system.
• Two-Stage Cast Iron Pump: The heavy-duty V-twin pump compresses air in two stages to reach higher pressures (up to 175 PSI) while running significantly cooler than single-stage models.
• Swedish Steel Valves: Equipped with floating-type Swedish steel valves that offer superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard reed valves in high-heat environments.
• Liquid-Filled Pressure Gauge: Features a high-accuracy, liquid-filled gauge that dampens vibration and protects against pressure spikes, providing reliable readings in high-vibration truck-mount settings.

Product Info

NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor | Honda GX390 | 24.4 CFM

Maximum Air Volume for Remote Heavy Equipment Maintenance

Mechanical failure in the field is a race against the clock in the forestry industry. The NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor turns any service truck into a high-performance repair bay. Built for permanent truck-bed installation, it provides the high-capacity air required for major on-site repairs.

Powering this industrial workhorse is the Honda GX390 OHV engine, the professional standard for field reliability. It features an integrated 3-amp charging system that maintains your battery while the engine runs, ensuring the electric start is always ready. This NorthStar 30 Gallon Air Compressor is designed specifically to survive the vibration of life on a utility rig.

The performance specs are massive, producing a staggering 24.4 CFM at 90 PSI. This airflow allows for simultaneous tool use or the operation of high-consumption 1-inch impact wrenches. With a 175 PSI maximum rating, it provides the force needed to seat heavy equipment tires and break loose high-torque bolts.

Durability is centered on the two-stage, full cast iron V-type pump. By compressing air in two stages, the pump operates more efficiently and runs cooler than single-stage models. This is critical for forestry pros working in high-heat or dusty environments where equipment fatigue is a constant threat.

Internal components feature floating-type Swedish steel valves, globally recognized for extreme heat resistance. These valves maintain a perfect seal under high-pressure cycles, extending the pump's service life. Additionally, the crankshaft is supported by bearings on both ends to prevent premature wear during heavy use.

Precision monitoring is handled by a liquid-filled pressure gauge that protects against accuracy-killing pressure spikes. The NorthStar 30-gallon horizontal tank is ASME-certified, meeting all safety requirements for commercial vehicle mounting. It is a rugged, factual solution for those who demand the most reliable air power available.

Why Choose Thew Northstar 30 Gallon Gas Powered Air Compressor?

Extreme Air Delivery

Produces an industry-leading 24.4 CFM @ 90 PSI, providing enough volume to run 1-inch impact wrenches and high-consumption pneumatic tools without performance drops.

Commercial Honda GX390 Power

Equipped with the legendary 389cc Honda engine, proven to deliver reliable high-torque performance and easy starts in the most remote logging environments.

Integrated Charging System

Features a built-in 3-Amp charging system that maintains your battery’s power while the engine is running, ensuring the electric start is always ready to fire.

Two-Stage V-Type Pump

The cast iron two-stage pump compresses air in two steps, reaching a maximum of 175 PSI while keeping operating temperatures significantly lower than single-stage units.

Swedish Steel Valves

Utilizes floating-type Swedish steel valves for maximum heat resistance and durability, ensuring a longer valve life under heavy-duty, continuous-use cycles.

Reduced Vibration Engineering

Designed with Low Vibration Technology (LVT) and a crankshaft supported by bearings on both ends to protect the pump from the stress of truck-mount operation.

Liquid-Filled Accuracy

Includes a liquid-filled pressure gauge that resists the "needle bounce" from engine vibration and protects internal components from sudden pressure spikes.
