Description
Across busy commercial automotive service bays, the DEWALT 60-Gallon 175-PSI Air Compressor runs 1/2-inch impact wrenches, ratchets, and tire inflators without continuous line pressure drops. A commercial-duty 3.7 HP motor powers an oil-lubricated cast-iron 1-stage pump producing 11.5 CFM at 90 PSI across a vertical 60-gallon ASME receiver tank up to 175 PSI. Mechanics complete brake jobs and tire rotations with fast tank recovery. The motor draws 15 FLA at 230V 1-phase, requiring a dedicated 30A circuit.
Key Features of DEWALT DXCMLA37060
Automotive repair shops and commercial woodworking facilities buy DEWALT 60-Gallon 175-PSI Air Compressors to run air ratchets, impact guns, and paint touch-up sprayers. Compare commercial vertical shop air compressor pricing to upgrade your garage pneumatic equipment.
- Solid cast-iron 3-cylinder 1-stage pump delivers 11.5 CFM at 90 PSI, running cool for long commercial service life cleanly.
- High-pressure 175-PSI maximum operating pressure stores more usable air volume inside a 60-gallon vertical tank cleanly.
- ASME-certified 60-gallon vertical steel pressure vessel buffers pneumatic demand spikes during heavy automotive tool use cleanly.
- Commercial 3.7 HP electric motor features thermal overload reset protection and reliable 230V 1-phase operation cleanly.
- Cast-iron flywheel with deep fan blades drives high-velocity cooling air across cylinder fins to lower operating heat cleanly.
- Pre-drilled heavy-gauge steel base feet allow rigid anchoring onto concrete garage floors cleanly.
Solid ASTM Class 30 cast iron forms the 3-cylinder 1-stage pump block, crankcase, and deep-finned cylinder head, delivering superior thermal conductivity and long cylinder bore life. Heavy-gauge certified steel forms the vertical 60-gallon ASME receiver tank, finished in durable industrial yellow enamel. Pre-drilled steel base plates allow rigid concrete floor anchoring. Sized for commercial garages, the stationary vertical compressor weighs 245 lbs, measuring 31 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 69 inches high.
High-Pressure 1-Stage Bench Limits
Pneumatic bench testing proves actual delivered air output measures 11.5 CFM at 90 PSI and 13.4 CFM at 40 PSI, supporting two automotive technicians cycling heavy air tools simultaneously. Reaching 175 PSI maximum tank pressure stores more usable air volume than standard 135-PSI tanks. Initial tank fill from zero to 175 PSI completes in 320 seconds, with recovery cycle time from 135-PSI cut-in to 175-PSI cut-out clocking at 58 seconds. The cast-iron pump runs at a low 1100 RPM, holding cylinder head temperatures below 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
Woodworking Shop Negative Selection Filter
The industrial glass oil sight gauge provides immediate visual verification of proper crankcase lubricant level before shift starts. Do not purchase this 1-stage compressor for heavy industrial sandblasting requiring over 20 CFM continuously, commercial multi-booth paint lines, or sharing circuits with other heavy shop machinery.
- Drain condensed tank moisture daily through the bottom brass ball valve after shop shutdown.
- Inspect dual drive belts for proper tension and alignment every 500 operating hours, maintaining 1/2-inch deflection.
- Change synthetic reciprocating compressor pump lubricant every 500 operating hours or twelve months of operation.
Factory Warranty Hardware Manifest
DEWALT covers this stationary vertical air compressor with a 2-Year limited manufacturer warranty covering pump casting defects, motor failures, and ASME tank integrity. The factory shipment crate includes one 60-gallon vertical air compressor, belt guard, air intake filter assembly, and an illustrated technical instruction manual.
