The Chicago Pneumatic RCP-1330G is a 13 HP truck-mount compressor powered by a Honda gasoline engine, so it does not depend on a building's electrical service to produce compressed air. Its two-stage pump operates at up to 175 PSI and feeds a 30-gallon ASME/CRN-certified receiver equipped with safety valves. The product is also listed as Made in the USA, giving buyers a clear point of distinction in a category where many compressors are imported. For mobile service work, fleet maintenance, agricultural applications, and jobsites without convenient power, the engine-driven design eliminates the need for an electrical connection at the compressor.
Several features are designed specifically for intermittent use in the field. A pilot-valve engine slowdown reduces engine speed when the receiver reaches pressure and there is no air demand, helping limit unnecessary fuel consumption, noise, and engine hours between jobs. The cold-start valve unloads the pump during startup, reducing the load on the engine when starting from cold. The compressor also provides 12V electric and recoil starting, giving operators a backup if the battery is unavailable or discharged. An oil monitor adds another layer of protection against low-oil operation, while the fully enclosed belt guard protects the moving drive components during use.
This RCP-1330G is intended for mobile mechanics, service trucks, fleet maintenance crews, agricultural operations, and construction or field-service work where compressed air needs to travel with the operator. The 30-gallon receiver keeps the package practical for a vehicle-mounted application while the two-stage pump provides the pressure needed for demanding pneumatic equipment. With both electric and recoil starting, automatic engine slowdown, and a Honda engine, it is built around the realities of equipment that may spend one day in a fleet yard and the next working far from an electrical outlet.

Certification, Stated Plainly
The product data lists ASME/CRN certification for the tank and safety valves. This applies to the pressure vessel and does not constitute a third-party safety listing for the complete machine or engine assembly.
If your fleet policy, insurer or site standard requires additional documentation, contact us before ordering. We will confirm what this model can document in writing.
Shipping & Delivery
Ships by palletized freight to the lower 48 states, with shipping quoted live at checkout based on your delivery address.
At 378 lbs, plan for a forklift, loading dock or pallet jack on level ground. Terminal pickup is an alternative if unloading equipment is unavailable. Residential deliveries may incur an additional fee.
Inspect the shipment before signing. Check the engine, belt guard, tank and fittings with the driver present. Record any damage or shortages on the bill of lading and take photographs before accepting the shipment.
Warranty
RCP two-stage compressors include a 2-Year warranty, and this listing states that the coverage includes the valves.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule and keep the compressor properly serviced and guarded. If a fault occurs, stop the machine and contact us before disassembly. Photograph the condition as found and keep the pump and engine intact until the warranty claim is evaluated.
