Company history
Iron Horse makes air compressors for people who actually use them—contractors, mechanics, woodworkers, and home shop owners who need reliable air power without the premium brand markup. The brand focuses on building compressors that handle real work rather than sitting pretty on a showroom floor.
The lineup covers different needs and shop sizes. Small portable units like the 5 and 6.5-gallon models work for job sites, tire inflation, and lighter pneumatic tools. Mid-size 20-gallon compressors in both horizontal and vertical configurations balance portability with enough tank capacity to run framing nailers, impact wrenches, and air ratchets without constant refilling. The big 60 and 80-gallon vertical tanks are for shops where air tools run continuously—sanders, grinders, spray guns—and waiting for the compressor to catch up kills productivity.
Iron Horse compressors use straightforward, proven designs. Single-stage pumps for most models keep things simple and serviceable. Cast iron construction on pump components handles heat and wear better than cheaper alternatives. Motors are sized appropriately for the tank capacity so you’re not waiting forever for pressure to build or dealing with an underpowered unit that struggles. The vertical designs make sense for tight spaces where floor area matters.
The portable air tanks are smart additions to the lineup. Fill them from your main compressor, then take them where you need air without dragging hoses across the shop or firing up the big unit for a two-minute job. They come with gauges and hoses so you’re ready to work right away.
What you get with Iron Horse is functional equipment at honest pricing. These aren’t the cheapest compressors at the big box store that die after a year, but they’re not boutique brands charging extra for a fancy paint job either. The construction is solid, components are serviceable, and the performance matches what’s on the spec sheet.
For shops where the compressor runs daily, for contractors who beat on their equipment, and for home users who want something better than disposable junk, Iron Horse delivers air power that shows up and works. No gimmicks, no over-engineering, just compressors built to compress air reliably when you flip the switch.
FAQ
For basic pneumatic tools like nail guns and spray guns, a 20-gallon tank with 125 PSI works well. For heavy-duty tools like impact wrenches or sanders, consider 60-80 gallon models with higher CFM ratings.
Drain your tank after each use or daily if used frequently. This prevents moisture buildup and extends tank life.
Single stage compressors work well for most applications up to 125 PSI. Two stage models are better for continuous heavy-duty use and higher pressure requirements.
Check for air leaks in hoses and fittings, ensure the intake filter is clean, and verify the pressure switch is functioning properly.
Regular oil changes (if oil-lubricated), air filter cleaning, belt inspection, and tank draining. Check your manual for specific intervals.
Yes, but allow it to warm up gradually and use appropriate oil viscosity for temperature conditions.
Warranty terms vary by model. Check your specific product documentation or contact customer service for details.

Testimonials
After burning through two cheaper compressors in three years, I invested in an Iron Horse 80-gallon model and haven’t looked back. This thing powers the entire framing crew’s nail guns and keeps running job after job without missing a beat, even in freezing winter conditions.
Marcus Williams
I run a custom furniture business and needed an air compressor that could handle my spray guns and pneumatic sanders without constant cycling. My Iron Horse 20-gallon unit has been rock solid for two years, delivering consistent pressure that gives me professional finish results every time.
Robert Johnson
I’ve been running my auto repair shop for eight years, and my Iron Horse 60-gallon compressor is the most reliable piece of equipment I own. Even with three technicians using pneumatic tools simultaneously all day, it maintains steady pressure without any breakdowns or surprise repair bills.
