Is this compressor strong enough to add air to tractor trailer tires? It would not be used on tires with no air. Pressure would be 120.

The compressor/tank is rated to 150 psi, so yes. I've only used it to inflate the tires on my motorhome to 90 psi, so I can't confirm that 120 is doable.

It should work since the tank can hold the air up to 150psi. However, considering the size of the tractor tire and the compressor's tank size (1.5Gallon), it will take pretty long to pump the tire and the motor will need to run without rest for ample amount of time. My answer is that this compressor can do the job you want but the job (pumping tractor tire) may make the compressor's life shorter than it meant to be. If you are not in a hurry and can take enough time to do the job, this one should be fine otherwise you need larger one.

I really couldn't say for sure, I use it for auto tires. I believe the compressor would be running most of the time as the tank is small and kicks on soon after starting a tire fill.

I run a 150 psi compressor with mine and fill up 35" tires just fine not sure if it would handle 200

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

Depends on the inflation pressure. But at maximum inflation pressure of 80 psi, it's 2830lb. Need to make sure though that your rims are also rated for this pressure. Most trailer rims are only good for 65psi, and at that pressure, the max. load is only 2540lb. (Just like their load range "D" tire of the same size.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

The CFM of this compressor is O.8CFM @ 90 psi. Use is best for filling tire pressure etc. not for heavy use such as spray painting.

I've been able to use tire inflating fittings from Lowe's as well as my little dust blower fitting which uses a standard quick connect on the bottom. However, you won't get much force as the only air stored at high pressure is the air in the line. I think you would have to make the compressor go into a small tank (2 or 5 gallon) to reliably blow dust around or air up balloons.

Brian answered the PSI so figured I would tell you my uses. Have used it to pump up dolly tires, wagon tires that I use for yard work (not toy wagons), and high pressure bicycle tires. It works on just about everything and have not had to drag my air compressor hose all over like I used to. This is the best portable air pump that I have ever owned. It is nothing like the crap you buy at Wal-XXXX. It takes virtually no effort to pump. You would swear it isn't even putting air in the tire it is so effortless. Also, it is the only brand that I will buy. Hope this helps.

For changing car tires or the like this compressor should handle it just fine. You can easily get 120 lbs of pressure out of it, but don't expect 150. You may have to wait for the pressure to build up again before you can go from bolt to bolt, but this is a home or light carpenter use compressor.

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

This is not a compressor. It will not produce enough pressure to inflate tires. Short answer... No.

As for all small compressors, if you block the air outlet you get 120 PSI. But the realistic pressure is such that I can increase the air pressure in a minivan tire from 30 to 40 PSI in about two minutes.

Blew the 15 amp fuse in my truck attempting to inflate my "skike" tires to 100 psi(kind of a cross between xcountry skis and roller blades). Works fine inflating my vehicle tires to 32 psi though.

You need to connect this to an air compressor. This is only an air chuck and gauge. It is accurate and can go from 1psi to 100psi, I use it with on board air for my Jeep and run 8 PSI on trails and 32PSI on highway.

Sorry, I don't have anything that I pump to that pressure. I go to 65 psi on the tires on my Jeep Wrangler sometimes and I don't notice a problem with it doing that job. Guess I could try pumping into my portable air tank, I always called them pig tanks, it is rated to 125 psi. Hadn't thought of trying that so thanks for triggering the idea. Will give it a whirl.

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

I doubt it, it's just a compressor for pumping air into tires. But I don't know for sure, I would try emailing the seller.
