Compressing air in two stages allows the pump to reach higher pressure while managing compression heat more effectively than a single-stage design. That makes the 438V better suited to sustained shop use where consistent air delivery matters.

It is also practical for shops that may relocate and need equipment that can adapt to a different three-phase supply later.

Plan for the equipment needed to receive the pallet at your location — typically a forklift, loading dock or suitable pallet jack with a level approach. If your site cannot receive the shipment safely, terminal pickup may be an alternative. Delivery to a residential address is considered residential delivery and carries an additional fee, so let us know before ordering rather than at the door.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspect the pallet and equipment before you sign.
